I’m busy, busy, busy. Trying to make it in America. Enjoy this shot of assorted Skate and Annoy fodder from reader Uncle Tom. Enlarge-o-rama.

I bought some Cuppa Stoke coffee online from the creator of the Skateboarder’s Journal. Friend of the site, (whether he knows it or not,) Dan Gesmer came up with the name! If you can get past it, the coffee is pretty good. My palate isn’t as refined as it once was, but good coffee is good coffee. I can vouch for the 5-0 Grind blend.

Still funny after all these years. The Onion takes a serious look at the dangers of getting stoked. Turn volume down if you’re at work. [Source: EPM]

Easter bunnies on skateboards. It may look cheap, but this little guy costs $20 from Enjou Chocolat. More chocolate Easter bunnies after the jump. Don’t forget to rewind last year’s disturbing pre-restraining order footage of Peter Cottontail doing some shredding with the kids.

A county fair in Florida is… so special. Where else can you find the ghetto version of Tony Hawk’s Big Spin?

From the book How it Works: The Human Body, published in 1997, but that board is more like 1987. Enlarge-o-rama.

I couldn’t bid on this, too poor. It’s an old auction. The guy was supposed to email me some more high-res photos, but I guess he had better things to do than take pictures of old skateboard toys for people who didn’t even bid on his auctions. But man, if I had the money… I think these were a series of figures in the 80’s that were kids on skateboards running into stop signs and garbage cans. I have a couple of them in my dungeon, but I never saw this set. Enlarge-o-rama. A couple more from another extinct auction after the jump.

Well, here it is. Alternate views of this GVK family heirloom after the jump. He’s had this thing for years.

I’ve seen a lot of crappy skateboard renderings tacked on to products as an afterthought, but this one looks like the artist actually had an affinity for our favorite pastime. I can’t figure out what animal this is. I thought it was a monkey, but there’s no tail. There’s also no other skateboard related pictures inside. It’s kind of amusing that they call out the fact that it’s a shaped coloring book. They basically just punched out a regular coloring book. You can tell because a lot of the images are cut off. How’s that for investigative reporting?

From the Reasonably Clever blog’s Toybox of Fail, it’s the Jing Zhiwei brand’s lego bootleg titled “Death’s Head vs Astronaut.” They don’t make the distinction between alien and astronaut, which is very forward thinking of them. It’s his profession we are interested in, not what shade of green red his skin is. He looks like more of a devil or an ant man than an astronaut anyway. If there was going to be an epic battle between the grim reaper and a life form from another planet, it’s only natural that it should take place on skateboards, no?
