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 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.

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.

Prepaid credit cards with an obnoxious name of Bill My Parents, aimed at the teenage market. Who else but Ryan Sheckler would be the skateboarding spokesperson? Watch the commercial after the jump. UPDATE: And Rob Dyrdek too!

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.

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.

Another skateboard movie made with Legos. It’s got slapstick, chase scenes, sound effect, lavish sets and a garage punk soundtrack thanks to the Beatnik Termites. What more could you ask for? How about surprise twist at the end, or more like another movie grafted on. Still fun.

K Mart (Kmart? K-Mart??) has revised their logo again. It’s not visible here, but on the web site. In grade school I had a wicked pair of red nylon running shoes that were the Kmart brand know as Trax, but otherwise… almost every Kmart I’ve been in this millennium seems like it’s two weeks away from going out of business. Mrs Kilwag spotted this sign in a Kmart recently. I’m not sure why you’d have put a skateboard on layaway, especially one you’d buy at Kmart.

Every day is friday over at Chicks and Skateboards. It’s great idea for a web site (depending on how you feel about the objectification of, uhm, chicks….) however even the postmodernist in me is annoyed by tumblr style web sites that just regurgitate content out of context with no link to the original source. Another amusing thing is that sometimes the boobs are pixelated, while two posts earlier they are unabashedly (no, not the unabashed dictionary) bare and large, pixel wise and otherwise. So… some of these shots are Maxxim magazine style, some of them are just random girls on or with a skateboard. Who isTom’s Skateshop? They must be a reader, because January 4th is awfully close to December 31st.

Bob Burnquist with a sneak peak of the 2011 Toyata Prius. Honda, if you’re listening, I’ll gladly make a commercial in exchange for a Civic, Fit, motorcycle, lawn mower, boat engine or generator. I guess I’d even take a plane.
