Spotted at the Goodwill

I spotted this at the Beaverton Goodwill over the weekend. If you’re from the Pacific Northwest you can identify this shirt from across a crowded room, but if you aren’t you may need to see the enlargement.

Wishful thinking?

Spotted on the side of a Metro West ambulance in Portland, Oregon. If anyone else sees this in the wild, I’d like to post a picture showing placement on the whole ambulance.

– Thanks to Josh Burt for the photo.

I can’t remember where I found this, you know, besides tonight when I moved a dresser and found it covered in dust bunnies. It must have been a kids magazine because it has the word “advertisement” at the top of the page. I’m not sure what other type of magazine would find the content confusing. No point in clicking through, unless you need a footnote for your thesis on exactly where cartoon characters, skateboards and food packaging intersect. 25% less fun, 100% more sugar!

Can’t let it go…

Honestly, not sure why skateboarders of a certain age are obsessed with the skateboarding footage in Back to the Future. After the last BTF post I made I seriously doubted that there would be any recurrences in the near future, but now here we are. It doesn’t hurt that I have little kids and still love Legos. CUUSOO is a project where lego fans design and submit Lego creations to the community. If enough people “like” the design then the gods of the plastic brick mountain will consider releasing a kit version or full commercial version of the model, and the designer gets a small percentage of sales. What Delorean Time Machine would be complete without Marty McFly and his skateboard?

UPDATE 2026: added photos of the actual productions set as well as subsequent sets.

Rastamouse

Rastamouse, is a BBC production featuring a detective and/or special agents who fight crime and play in a reggae band. Awesome voices. Visit one of their many web sites if you are in the mood to giggle and annoy your wife. Love it. Looks cool too. Rastamouse is not just a one episode skater, he’s on board for book covers and personal appearances as well.

– Thanks to Andrew Mendoza for the tip.

Watch out for the wilson

Oh my glob, that is so unsafe! Clearly that elephant should be wearing a helmet… Jim Goodrich found this image somewhere on Facebook. Original context remains a mystery. Anyone?

Venice Ale House

The Venice Ale house serves beer samplers in a cutout longboard. Seems a little forced to me, but I suppose the tourists eat it up.

– Thanks to Shannon Thorpe for the photo.

Mountain Dew Rush

We live in a world so extreme that, err… uh, different commercials for different.. planets I guess. It’s been a while since we’ve visited the car-as-skateboard theme, nay, archetype. Nope? Too soon. OK.

– Thanks to… I can’t remember. I ‘ve been out of the loop for a while. Hit me up and I’ll add it.

Undershirts are..

..one syllable a way from underpants, which would make this post even creepier. Some people go on vacation and take pictures of the scenery. MC travelled to NYC on a whirlwind tour of skateparks and Target stores and came back with this.

Friday T&A on S&A: She’s fond of that skateboard.

Arabella is either really fond of that skateboard or this is a scene from a remake of Ghost with Ray Barbee in the Patrick Swayze roll. It’s from the folks at Front magazine who have appeared here before, and in fact seem to have a skateboard fetish in general. A random click on Melissa’s Sexy Roadtrip turned up some Santa Cruz product placement. Actually, there’s skateboards littering that whole website/magazine. Warning – External links NSFW.
