Yes, that legendary haunt of the Dogtown Z-boys in the last heydays of the 70’s. Immortalized in the documentary, and romanticized in the Lords of Dogtown. Skate and Annoy is proud to be the first to publish this never-before-seen shot of The Dog Bowl.

This probably fake eBay auction has got to be a misguided attempt to encourage solar energy awareness. The perpetrator needs to dig deeper into the demographics of who is going to be most likely to search for “cool and stylish skateboards” on eBay. And because these things disappear after time, the text is preserved after the jump. What kind of trucks are those, Indy 415’s?

Considered passing on this post, but to hell with Enemy Combatant. We all know what “Love” means, or what “Love Is” (the comic strip or the the cartoon character named Courtney?) I dunno. “Thoroughly depressing” is how I would describe the Kurt Cobain action figure and limited edition Kurt Cobain Converse shoes complete with drawings and text from his journal. Also available in the model his wife he killed himself in. How tasteful.

– Thanks to Rich for the tip.

Is this from a new TV show? Some sort of celebrity scandal? Is he the real father of Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby? Has he converted to Scientology? Are those pearl earrings he’s wearing? What new product is he shilling? Enquiring minds want to know, and you won’t be disappointed.

Flying out to Florida to meet my family.
Visiting the in-laws on the red-eye is such a chore.
Opening the inflight mag and what do I see?
World Industries makes water toys. Well, so much for “core.”

Man am I funny. Seriously though, several months ago when World was sold, there was an article in Transworld Biz quoting how World Industries was going to try to recapture part of the “core” skateboarding market that they lost with all the little kids crap. The same catalog also had World Industries wake boards, but that’s not even in the same ballpark as a glorified innertube.

A friend mentioned a Chance Meeting personal ad in the Portland newspaper the Willamette Week Someone was trying to hook up with a Handsome Skater Dad. Since the new issue had already come out, I missed my chance but the website had a couple of similar items. So it’s not all Shecky , the mature skater-man is also in demand.

Inline skating is awesome! I’m changing the focus of this web site completely. These pictures are for viewing purposes only. No reproduction or distribution rights are granted.

Alright, I’ll fess up. I had all kinds of elaborate ideas for April Fools Day hoaxes that were brilliant until I realized it was an hour and a half away and I hadn’t executed any of them. So this is what you get.

Thank god the internet is there to help me make lifestyle decisions. California skate supply has a skater-dater quiz. Meanwhile, Rosemary Graham offers a skate-relationship title that must be pretty racy, It has a waterproof-cover! Maybe all you Shecky-boppers can check these out and leave us alone.

Our web host is moving their data center this weekend. Starting at midnight on Friday we may be down for 24-48 hours. With the track record of our host company, I’m predicting it will be more towards the latter, if not more. Of course I haven’t gotten moved over to a new company yet, but at least I’ve picked the winner.

He’s not included on this poll of favorite heartthrob skaters from madmoiselle at Team Sugar. Who is this (platinum) user Madmoiselle? She’s got almost 8,000 sugar points, so she must be able to buy a lot of virtual gifts. (This one is for landpiratemafia! Meme! Meme! Meme! Meme! Meme! Hawt!) Oh yeah, I need to mention Tony Hawk so I can add this post to the category.
