Bird Dog

Kind of a stretch to tie in a gratuitous Everly Brothers reference, but it’s slightly more clever than putting “Tony Hawk files for 3rd Divorce” in the headline. Hawk… Bird… Dog… Divorce… get it? GET IT? Yeah, I had to make you work for that one. And I am not implying his wife is a dog, so don’t even start. The real news here is no that Tony is unlucky at love, but that his divorce is newsworthy to US Weekly and the Washington Post, even if it is only in the celebrity section.

– Thanks to… everyone an their brother who sent this in, but truth be told, Mrs Kilwag found it first.

Jogger does Nephicide

So why not have another challenging video? This one from LA’s Jogger, whom I mistook for Portland’s The Joggers, but not because I’d heard any of them before. There’s a payoff beyond the Vato Rat re-issue near the end if you can make it through.

BBQ Corn Action

It’s going to be a light week here on S&A. I’m swamped with outside projects, so the only thing you get today is Calbee BBQ corn. It’s Hot & Spicy and the corn tassel mowhaked mascot likes to break dance and skateboard.

Tony Hawk has Game

Tony Hawk is hosting the Hall of Game Awardsshow February 25th on Cartoon Network. It’s a mildly amusing commercial, but what’s really interesting is a weird segment that aired immediately afterward called Super Scooter Dog. It’s one weird looking dog riding a scooter that is way more entertaining than any dog on a scooter. There’s no explanation as to what it’s for, but I suspect it’s something related to Cartoon Network.

2006 called…

And they want their skateboarding dogs back. Actually, Neo and Tuxedo (Yes, there are two.) might have a shot at cracking the big time. I was doing my due diligence on this post and found out that the reigning champs Tyson and Tilman both appear to have let their domain names lapse. It must have been the dog-job-killing Obama Care. Skateboarding dog connoisseur and tipster Greg Baller finds the pushing style of the terrier more refined compared to the plebian plodding of the bulldog.

Tony Hawk on Phineas and Ferb

I was not a fan of Phineas and Ferb when I first saw it. I think it was the animation style and color pallet made it seem kind of cheap. My kids are into it though, and like any lazy American good parent I watch a lot of TV monitor what my children watch to make sure it’s appropriate. I’ve since grown to appreciate it. Phineas and Ferb have a spin off now called Phineas and Ferb: Take Two. It’s essentially the same premise as Space Ghost Coast to Coast, a virtual set and hosts with real guests. Space Ghost Coast to Coast is one of the most brilliant shows ever put on late night TV, so Phineas and Ferb has a tough act to follow. I’ve only seen the one episode, and it falls flat. Part of what made SGC2C work was the general weirdness of the situation. Some of the guests didn’t quite know what was going on, and the writers occasionally deliberately created a semi hostile atmosphere. At it’s best, Space Ghost Coast to Coast was a bizarre masterpiece of postmodern awkwardness. Then again, Phineas and Ferb is aimed at a grade school audience, so maybe I expect too much. Tony Hawk on Phineas and Ferb: Take Two, after the jump.

el Borto strikes again

Jason Bettineski posts pictures of awesome/weird/scary items he and his wife find at the aptly named Goodwill Goldmine. This is a ceramic version of what we can only guess might be Bart Simpson, or his nemesis from Shelbyville, Bort Sampson. According to Jason, the only thing more awe inspiring than the creative catharsis that spawned Bort Sampson is the idea crossed the mind of the artist before he/she donated it. It might have gone a little soemthing like this… “I shouldn’t throw this away, someone might want to buy it.” Reminds me of a little something Grover picked up for me at Good Will.
