Will The Really Ranty McRanterson Please Stand Up

Today I Googled Ranty McRanterson to check up on things and I was shocked to find other results than our blog. It used to be that when I would Google Ranty McRanterson, there would just be a link to our website and another asking if I meant Randy McRanterson (I almost never did). But now [...]
Clint’s Strange Dreams® #2
Posted in Dreams, Video Games, tagged Flutterscotch, Fourheads, Sour Profitamole, Viva Piñata on August 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Here we are for my second strange remembered dream. This one involves the game Viva Piñata: Classic. It is a children’s game where the object is to attract various piñata species (yes, animal piñatas) and breed them, produce various goods with them, let them be food for other piñatas or to just let them sit [...]
PSA for the Ranty Faithful [Updated]

Not to be outdone by Clint’s recent claim in a comment/demonstrated posting dominance, I decided to post for the first time in quite a while with a little public service announcement for those who have been following the Ranty McRanterson. Google Reader is a tool that I have been using in conjunction with Gmail and [...]
The USS (Useless Shitty Ship) Steve Irwin

Friday marked the season finale of the Animal Planet show Whale Wars. For those of you unacquainted with the show, it chronicles the voyages of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a group opposed to whaling, as they confront Japanese whalers off the coast of Antarctica. While watching, I was amused by their total ineptitude in [...]

This Month’s Hero: Sarah Palin So after more than a year, I’m bringing back the Hero of the Month. I would have posted about Heroes from the last year, but let’s face it, nothing really happened in the past year. For this month, I have nominated former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. Although resigning her governorship, [...]
Throwback of the Month – August 2009

We have almost 150 posts now, spanning more than three years. I guess that’s kind of weak according to most blogger’s stats, but hey, it is what it is. Anywho, I figured we have enough posts to pull out an old gem that I particularly liked and that I think you should read. I know [...]
Clint’s Strange Dreams® #1

Alright, so I rarely can remember my dreams, but every once in a while I do and it’s usually worth discussing. This may or may not be a recurring theme, depending on how many dreams I actually remember. This one was definitely worth sharing though just for its sheer lack of sense. I was hanging [...]
State of the Ranty

Alright, so I have no clue what’s going on with this website. Shit is gettin’ real. Allow me to explain. I was going through all of my old posts in order to update formatting (and maybe change things that could be embarrassing to me personally. You’ll never know, the originals are gone. SUCKERS!). Anywho, I [...]
The Future of Sports
Posted in Sports, TV, tagged Retired Numbers, Slamball on August 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »
So I was watching someone’s number being retired and a thought occurred to me. What happens hundreds of years in the future when all the numbers start getting retired? And yes, American football, baseball and hockey will be around that far into the future. Soccer and professional basketball will not be. Let’s face it, those [...]
