Humor Post #121 from The World’s Awesomest Raving and Rapping Middle School blogger –

Ooh, props are due Daniel! He’s come out with a new book trailer at YouTube with Dr. Magic, the rapping puppet. This one’s for STORIES GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU SICK. That is one cool book, especially if you enjoy hurling. And no, I’m not talking about the sport you play with a ball.

So for this, Dr. Crankenfuss thought about what he could give you that could possibly rival the coolicity of such a wicked book video. And he came up with a perfect solution: a rap by Dr. Crankenfuss.

A VIDEO TAPE
THAT WILL LEAVE YOU AGAPE
by Dr. Crankenfuss

Dr. Magic makin' it clear — Dr. Magic makin’ it clear to one and all
(Dr. Magic is a creation of HD-Flat Beats (Google him).

Daniel got him a new book trailer,
It so shocking, you’ll need an inhaler.
Dr. Magic has opted to star again.
He so hot, he’s our cayenne.

He gonna rap ’bout STORIES GUARANTEED,
It so off the hook, you’ll get a nose bleed.
Humor, horror, nasal fiction,
Try it just once, it’ll be your addiction.

At Freaky Dude Books, we don’t miss a trick
And STORIES GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU SICK
Will give your bad brain a good swift kick
And whack your funny bone like a pool stick.
So just you take it from ol’ Dr. Crank:
Read this book and you’ll be swank,
It’s like gettin’ free money from a really hip bank,
Then goin’ skinny-dippin’ in a septic tank.
For 3.99, you can’t ask for more
So check it out at your favorite e-store.

Nice going, Daniel!

From Your Dude with a ‘Tude,
Dr. Crankenfuss

Lance the Collie Ain’t Feelin’ Too Jolly

Humor Post #118 from the Blog of The World’s Awesomest & Crankiest Middle School Curmudgeon, Dr. Crankenfuss
—————————————————
No, this ain’t Dr. Crankenfuss at the left, guys. It’s Lance the Collie and he wanted to have his say, so I gave him this post. He needs your help bad. You tell ’em, Lance.

***************************************************
Okay, here goes. Hey, my name is Lance Berenson and I live with Daniel. Many would call him my “owner” but as Dr. Crankenfuss would probably say, “I beg to differ.” He’s more like my enemy, at least right now. Read my poem and see who’s right and who’s wrong.

IT’S AIN’T FAIR, DAGNABBIT!
IT’S A NATURAL DOG HABIT!
by Lance the Collie

I got for you a shaggy dog story.
See me up there in my canine glory?
But I’ve been brought low and I ain’t to blame,
I’ve been saddled up with “The Cone of Shame.”

Do I look happy? My answer is NOT!
I’m lookin’ real stupid and my freedom’s shot,
I’m getting whacked by chairs and doors,
I’m writin’ APS; can’t take it no more.

Daniel tells me it’s for my health,
But all I was doin’ was lickin’ myself,
So I get hot spots and I’m a bit sore,
I can deal with that; I’ll just lick some more.

But Daniel carted me off to the vet
Who said this dumb coller’d be the end of it.
But it’s not right: life’s not the same,
I’m sulkin’ in the corner with my “Cone of Shame.”

I didn’t do nothin’; I was totally framed.
Help me get out of this “Cone of Shame.”

from Lance the Collie (who even appeared on YouTube here with my pal Rex and here doing a magic trick.)

Please leave your comments below. Maybe Daniel will listen. I doubt it, but I can pray for a miracle.

A New UNCLE SAM POSTER for today’s times

July 11, 2013 crankenfuss Leave a comment

Humor Post #117 from The World’s Awesomest & Crankiest Curmudgeon’s Middle School and YA Blog –

Well, I gotta admit, I’m kinda tired lately. If I was using my usually far-out, intellectual vocabulary, I could say I was fatigued or uh… flagging, but I’m too tired to, so I’ll just say I’m pooped out. Oh, no, that doesn’t sound right either, especially if you’re one of those “Ha, ha, didn’t he just say poop?” kind of chuckleheads.

Well, there I go again. Off-topic, as usual. Okay, the reason I’m so enervated — Ha! I just found that one at THESAURUS.COM and it’s a very cool word because it sounds like it means the opposite of what it really means. Very tricky, dudes! — is that Daniel is going on like three hours of sleep a night. He’s been all involved in this LOVE THUG giveaway at Amazon and that’s okay and all, but it’s keeping me from my beauty rest too.

But I DID help Daniel come up with something to take his mind off all those numbers and networking. I gave him the idea for this new UNCLE SAM POSTER. It’s kinda how Daniel and I feel a lot of the time. We feel like we’re working so hard all the time, there’s no time for fun. So here’s the idea I gave him:

Pretty cool, huh! So even though we’re working hard, at least we came up with something good.

OUR RADIO AD FOR “LOVE THUG” (free this Wed-Fri, July 10-12)

July 9, 2013 crankenfuss Leave a comment

Okay, first off, if you’re here just for the radio ad, it’s at the bottom, okay? But then come back and get the lowdown on it. I’m worth it.

See,I’m Dr. Crankenfuss and I’m the ranting, raving, and rapping middle schooler who lives in Daniel Berenson’s head. (He’s the guy who runs FREAKY DUDE BOOKS.) It’s not that bad really cause there’s a lot of room up here and I like the freedom Daniel gives me. I often like to make fun of Daniel cause he’s kind of easy to make fun of, but today I’m here to praise Daniel, not to bury him.

See, Daniel has this book at Amazon called LOVE THUG. It’s a romantic comedy for kids. Yeah, you heard me right. And it’s funny too. They’ve even used it at schools in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina. You can read all about it at its Amazon page. It’s got great reviews and everything.

But let me get to the good part. It’s FREE July 10-12 — that’s Wednesday through Friday — at Amazon. On those days, just go to its page, click on the Buy Button and it’s all yours. For absolutely nothing.

But even free books need good ads. That’s what gets people to check them out. So Daniel got on the computer and cooked up this radio ad. It’s really pretty good. (I always tell him he has a good face for radio.) He says next time he’ll get James Earl Jones to do the talking. I mean, when Darth Vader tells you to get something, you get it, right?

So here it is. Listen to it and on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, go get LOVE THUG at Amazon. It’ll be worth every penny you spend.
