Thats funny. Skate and Destroy.
I got an all over body tattoo of a middle-aged, bloated and pasty white Welshman. Its so good people don’t even notice it. I spent hours under the needel only to learn that a gnarly tattoo doesn’t help your skateboarding at all. Now I’m stuck looking ridiculous for the rest of my life. Don’t be like me. Buy the t-shirt like MC.
tattoos are for hipsters anyways..good choice on the t-shirt.
Commitment issues huh?
Doesn’t WalMart now offer tattooing? They have parlors set up next to the optometry stall and hepatitus screening station.
hipsters, dirty hippies and drunk people.
Well well well. If it aint another episode of The World According to Conahan. Or should I say, Mark 3:16? Old High and Mighty and his college buddies bashin’ on us deep end destroyers just cuz we’re tatted head to soul! You can hide behind your little cartoon and never admit that you’re totally judging people on some superficial branding you’ve created. I might as well tell ya, cuz you don’t seem to get it: a scowl plus neck tatts equals instant respect in my part of town. Time for you to stop bein’ the boy your momma told you to be and get inked, son!
What part of town is that? Silly me. I got my ink just to please myself.
Pretty funny how much people read between the punchlines. You should see me on the inside, all blood and skeletons and shit. Could have sworn that was a comment about my own preferences. What the heck does college have to do with anything? I don’t skate with anyone I knew from college.
You can’t please everyone with your hot-shot collegiate humor, you opinionated cartoonist bastard!
Nah, your funny is very understated and well thought out.
Which works well for me because I don’t have to think or read between any lines.
Fuck I barely have to read at all which makes it almost as good as T.V.
Thanks man, that cracked me up.
More Jughead, less Archie.
More Betty, less Veronica.
This site & MC’s work are a couple of the rare sources of wackiness in skating. More Arnold, less Willis!
M.C’s wit is the shit-“You should see me on the inside, all blood and skeletons and shit”.
I would totally steal that if I weren’t covered in ink,myself.
