FATHER FEDORA

Here we are outside one of the most hideous, despicable monstrosities ever to be built....the new Cowboys Stadium. $1.2 Billion for a place to watch Romo sidearm interceptions and Roy Williams turn into TO junior. We don't even wanna think about how many kids in Africa that money could have fed. And poor Jessica Simpson. At least the late great Tom Landry was a class act, otherwise we'd be diggin' up dirt on him right now. He's the only thing classy about that organization. You can't go wrong with his trademark fedora, with or without the free bowl of soup. Even Homer Simpson has known the power of the fedora. Good work out of our friend here, he must be an Eagles fan. And it's nice to see that the d-bag in the Cowboys jacket is assuming the position.

THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR CRANIN'

And that's just what they did. This hottie shot girl with boots for days just craned the whole bar and looks mighty fine doing so. Someone needs to wake up Sleeping Beauty in the Dockers before he misses the show. And if you can, slip the dude a five spot so he can spring for the wrinkle-free pair next time.

Thanks foxy shot craner lady, and thanks to the person or people who made this crane kick happen. We're sure she was as outgoing as this picture indicates - she flirted with you, you bought a bunch of those shots that are mostly syrup, you tipped her well and then she left on her boyfriend's Harley while you ate hot dogs. Score!

BUSINESS AS USUAL

This anonymous craner comes from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The dapper gentleman you see above seems to have just landed in town for some sort of business conference - notice the nametag... ok it's either a conference or he's speed-dating with luggage with the hopes of making it an overnighter. Either way, that is one sharp looking single leg raise.

Thanks to our CKC peeps down south for this classy catch. I hope you had the decency to buy him a glass of Maker's Mark for his efforts. Then again, you are fans of a website dedicated to crane kicks. So you probably stole his luggage.

DANDO PEE-PEE

Another night on the town. Another Dando Penguin crane kick. This one and about four others showed up via 4am text message over the weekend. I shoulda never gave this dude my phone number. The sequential vibrating sounds for every inbound message that night is only rivaled by something I once saw at a bachelor party. But that story is for another time and place.

Dando put this hydrant on notice with a crane kick that would make your pooch want to go outside for a walk. Thanks for the leg lift. Next time wait until the morning to pass along.

DON'T DRINK THE WATER

This crane kick comes to you from CKC fan Big Mike, who hails from the Midwest. Mike took his family down to Mexico for a little vacation, and before the Spring breakers had the chance to soil the sand with vomit and hair gel and Phtirius pubis (look it up), he got the party started early. Miguel said he "couldn't resist" sending us a few craners, and can you blame him? Cancun and crane kicks go together like tequila and fighting. Not that we condone fighting. But we do condone tequila. Sometimes you have to chance it.

We appreciate Mike bringing the crane kick back home to the beach. Hopefully this wasn't followed by a bout of Montezuma's revenge. That would totally be no bueno.

CLOSING CEREMONIES

The 2010 Vancouver Olympics came to a close late Sunday evening, but not before Sidney Crosby went from future legend to current messiah with an overtime goal to win the gold for the host country. I swear that guy signed his soul over to the devil. Something will come out about this dude... no one can be this blessed. I bet he steals his neighbors' newspaper.

Speaking of winning the big one, you can add another to the USA medal count thanks to our pal Brad from The Heckler. Brad took gold in craning. I don't see any Canadians or Germans or Norwegians trying to even approach the podium with this kind of athleticism. Maybe if you guys concentrated less on sleds and brooms and more on self defense, you might be able to throw your hat in the ring.

Hey Crosby - Up yours. We've got Brad. You got craned. See you in Sochi.
