Close friends since they were kids, these guys did everything together. They even bought the same converse shoes.
When Barry suggested that they lay down in the store to get a better perspective of all the lower-shelved movies, Robbie and Roddie agreed.
Smiling warmly, they congratulated each other on an idea well executed.

I hope Coca-Cola(tm) pays good money for the product placement there. And Converse(tm) too, of course.
But what these guys really need is a sponsorship from somebody who can give them a free DVD player, so they won't have to rent those crappy VHS tapes anymore.

I was actually partial to the TMNT cartoon when I was a kid. The movies just plain sucked though, in my humble opinion.
6 - Eric Olsen
actually, you neglected to mention that after they congratulated themselves warmly, they turned and posed for a pic, the very pic you see displayed right here

And I'd like to know more about the dude on the left's (to the viewer) coke fetish.
8 - Eric Olsen
he actually underwent an experimental procedure whereby he can drink through his knee

If you look long enough at his face, he's happy... almost too happy, a face revealing of the caffeine-addicted madness. A madness so great, in fact, as to be able to convince others of the righteousness of his dark pursuits...
10 - Eric Berlin
I wouldn't be surprised at all, in fact, if the two others were his followers...
His coke followers, if you catch my drift.

perfect! there's your caption

Shouldn't this be posted on imagestation or ofoto.com instead of blogcritics or am I missing something? :(
And so much for getting laid. For crying out loud the least they could have done was laid their puny asses down in some adult store

This post and its news-item style headline can be taken as a satirical swipe at all the trivial stories the mainstream media uses to distract people from the issues that really affect our lives.
When the government was letting taxpayers get robbed blind in the savings and loan collapse, the news outlets distracted us with lurid tales of OJ Simpson and the Menendez brothers.
Now that certain parties are trying to rob us blind again by handing over Social Security to Wall Street speculators, the mainstream news distracts us with Terri Schiavo and Michael Jackson.
At least these three friends and their enigmatic video-store lounging give us a comparatively cheerful and upbeat distraction.

little did these three earnest lads know that they would come to symbolize The Three Horsemen of the Media Distraction

omg , i wrote the story.. but you guys gave it depth... you gave it meaning...
YOU GAVE IT LIFE
*hits chest with fist symbolizing the pain (and sometimes pleasures) of life*

you forgot we made it sing

The Three Horsemen:
* Distracto (the coke-addled leader)
* Discepto
* Bill O'Reli-io
"Coke is our nectar, Distraction our ethic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Our Bread"

More appropriate for a personal blog than for blogcritics-type site, methinks.

with all this talk of the coke, i'm suprised nobody noted that the character on the left is, in fact, Robert Downy Jnr circa Chaplin
20 - Eric Berlin
Chaplin for the Coke Generation...
My golly, you've done it again, Duke!
[By the way: I have mixed feelings with regard to your point, Aaman...]
21 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
having scanned the shelves intensely, i can only make out Spy Game and Rocky 2, or possibly 3. Consider yourself partly responsible for the continuing disintegration of my eye-holes.
22 - Eric Berlin
I'm guilty too, of trying to figure out what the dude in the middle (Bill O'Reli-io?) is holding.
Some kind of Bruce Lee box set or something?
23 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
from a distance it looks like transformers the movie.
24 - Eric Berlin
Was there an actual full-fledged Transformers movie?
That was my favorite show as a kid. That, and V (as in Visitors, the sci fi show). I dearly wished I could be as bad ass as Optimus Prime or Michael Ironsides, depending on the day.
25 - Aaron, Duke De Mondo
there was indeed, with Orson Welles doing some voice-work, no less. And V ruled!
