True Story

Real Weenie skateboarding Dachshund

This is a true story. We’re potty training our oldest kid who is not yet three. When we know we can watch him, we let him wear regular underpants - well, at least if you can call tighty whiteys covered in cartoon characters “regular.” After a particularly successful day full of positive reenforcement, we went for a ride in the van. From the back seat we hear my son telling me ” I have pee pee.” We tell him it’s ok to go right now because he’s wearing a diaper. He’s having a little trouble grasping the situation, so we talk about it. After a short break he asks “Where is my pee pee?” to which we reply without thinking it through “It’s in your weiner.” Yes, that’s what we’re calling it. Now don’t ask me what kind of drugs my son was on, but these were his next words. “My pee pee is in my wiener? Is it having fun? Is my wiener riding a skateboard?” I kid you not. Anyway, here’s the image I came up with to illustrate this post.

From the Hot Diggity Dog Collection. Dachshund figurine titled “Real Weenie.” This wiener dog wears his cool outfit while riding on his skateboard, and has a backpack on his back. Made of resin. Measures 4″ high.

Yours for only $17.99. Apparently, painting your own wiener is not just for fans of the band Ring 13.

Nash: A true innovator

Nash MFG, true innovators

When you think of skateboard companies based in Texas, one word comes to mind. Zorlac…. oh wait. Did you know Nash had it’s manufacturing plant in Fort Worth Texas? I would have guessed China, if anything. In 2006 there was a fire at Nash Manufacturing that destroyed the facility. The cause was said to be under investigation, but nothing ever surfaced, at least not on the Interwebs™. I’m going to make a case for industrial espionage and sabotage, because Nash is a true industry innovator. Proof after the jump.

Vote for the GVK Kontest Winner

All right, lets get this taken care of. I’ve got some poll software installed and now it’s time to vote for the winner of the GVK Photo Kontest. The prize package includes a skateboard of our choice and a bunch of random stuff. I thought we’d see more entries than we got, maybe we should have made a bigger deal about the prize. I’ve learned a few things from this contest, and I’ve already got an idea for the next one. Voting ends at Midnight, Pacific time, on June 22nd.

Flip flops downhill slam

This was going to be another Friday T&A on S&A, but I didn’t want to risk being labeled a misogynist, so we’ll just call this “You know this is going to end well…” This girl is so hot, you might even say she’s slammin!

GVK Photo Kontest tease

Come on people. We still need your GVK Photo Kontest entries. This shot above is not an entry, just a composite to get you stoked. Mummified Grover is an out take from an old print issue cover shoot. There will be one deck from an undecided manufacturer in the prize package. I’ve compiled some of the entries so far after the jump. It ends June 8th, so lets get going!

Nash Executioner

Oh, how do I love the eBay? let me count the ways. The real question is, will the “Hugs, not drugs” sticker detract or add to the value of this Nash Executioner?

William Spencer

Gotta love infotainment graphics. This one is from the Denver Post article on William Spencer. Reminds me of several things. I think a good fake job for a character in a book or movie would be dental animation specialist - or someone who makes a living modeling 3d computer graphics of mouths and teeth for toothpaste and mouthwash commercials. We’ve covered this guy before, but now there’s newer footage. Supposedly, Spencer stunt doubled Orlando Bloom in a Japanese hair care commercial.

Two jokes, one bad idea
Thursday, May 29th, 2008

not bad meaning good

Both of these are a joke, but one is actually serious. From Instructables, the Jet Powered and Folding skateboards. Yes, that’s a drag chute. Yes, he put rollerblade wheels on his trucks.

Where are you going?

Nut crunch

Skateboard rack shots are a dime a dozen, but this one is pretty damned funny. Check it out on Bowl Freaks and say hello to Hans Moleman.
