30 Characters in 30 Days: Day 29

When the fun-loving ecologist, William Fowl, saved a family of ducks from the shotgun blasts of the super-villain Dick Cheney, an ancient Duck God rewarded Fowl by bestowing him with the powers of the duck. Mister Fowl was also given the power to shoot lasers from his eyes, because as the Duck God said, " I just think lasers are cool." William Fowl now fights for the powers of right and justice as Laser Bill!

30 Characters in 30 Days: Day 27

I'd love to describe Ripper Shreds to you, but Suicidal Tendencies do such a good job in their lyrics to "Possessed to Skate" :

"Seemed like such an innocent toy
Got a skate at eight years old
He was the All-American boy
Now the story can be told

Beware he's possessed to skate!

Skating takes him up in height
He's a pilot on a modern flight
See him flying through the air

If he don't land then he don't care
 
When he skates-he skates
Cause he never hesitates
Cause he rips-he rips
Like a modern gladiator ain't got no fears
He's the wizard on the wheels
So skate

He shoots the pool like a launching pad
Skating is all that's on his mind
If it ain't insane then you can't get rad
He's skating radical all the time

Beware he's possessed to skate!

Six foot airiels inverts backside
Looks like a magic carpet ride

Optical illusion it must be
He redefines insanity

Doesn't understand why you'd wanna walk
Ain't got time to sit and talk
Used to be just like you and me

Now he's an outcast of society
Beware he's possessed to skate!"

In 1954, Slammo Incorporated introduced the Proto-Serve 2000. A robot that they claimed to be the most important household appliance money could buy. A radio spot for this product boasted that the Proto-Serve "cooks, cleans, and crushes your enemies with ease". Production on the Proto-Serve 2000 models ended in early 1955 due to shoddy craftsmanship. In 2011, Slammo will reintroduce this product to the world as the Proto-Serve 3000. None of the specs have changed.
