Melocopter with his “Tripod” pro model. The judges were less than ecstatic about having to judge the “art”. I have never been around two people less stoked about doing something in my entire life. I guess I’ll get Deb to judge the next one. Melocopter wins a year subscription to Thrasher Magazine. Congratulations!

The order on the rest of the entrants was:

2. Variable’s “Robot Smash”

3. KIK’s “Lumberjack awash in color and imagery”

4. Wesley von Porchenchop’s Ode to an American Icon

5. Brknick’s Powell Peralta Tribute

And thanks to Chris for postponing the whole contest for no reason. He should be Balkic’d

art contest: skateboard grafix

Back in the mid eighties my favorite thing to do was skateboard. My second favorite thing to do was scour Thrasher Magazine to look at all the deck art. In my opinion some of the best art of the 20th century was found on a skateboard. Let’s design our own boards.

Bruce Lee is a Chump

The video was a short of Bruce Lee wailing on someone. Not being a Bruce Lee fan I just mentioned that he wasn’t that tough. This is what I got.

Not a bad argument if you ask me.

when it comes to Calendars good judgement goes out the window

We found this calendar being paraded in the most conservative department here. Accounts receivable. If this is being proudly displayed, then I ask you. Can we display the “Boris” calendar Bknick got for Christmas? Just asking.

Here’s to friends that aren’t p-words

Jihad and I went to the Get Some Guns and Ammo and shot the full auto FN P90. Made the AK seem kind of lame.

Have I created a monster?

You gotta admit it takes guts to get a mohawk. I have wanted one my entire life but never had the nerve to follow through. I thought Jerm’s thinking was solid though: He has a cousin who is getting chemo-therapy right now and in a show of solidarity he said he would shave his head too. However He wanted to rock a mohawk for a week first.

Sounds like a good enough reason to me.

Dude Club Foot Race

To be honest the race was pretty lackluster. It was basically a  bunch of 30 year olds trying to re-live the glory days at the Elementary School playground. What was extraordinary was the fact that I caught the finish with crystal clarity on an iPhone Camera. Its a good thing I was there.
