Brian Anderson on being a gay, professional skateboarder.

This is the best thing Vice media has ever done. Vice Sports presents Brian Anderson on being a gay, professional skateboarder. Time (long ago) to check your homophobia. When is Brian going to come out about being a John Krasinski impersonator?

Ninja Sauce

I would call this new age hippy shit, but it’s got ninjas and skateboards instead of unicorns and dream catchers. There’s even a gratuitous Animal Chi picture on the label – wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. It’s not for food, it’s for topical application to bruises and/or sore, aching muscles. You can get yours from Body […]

Body Expanded

There’s a giant skateboarder outside of the Body Expanded exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago. MSIC is one of a few museums in the world to have a permanent display from the creators of Body Worlds. I did not enter the exhibit to see if there was more skateboarding action. What was […]

Moose and Squirrel, no Moose

Jeff Longo rescued a newborn baby flying squirrel. The only reason you’re looking at on Skate and Annoy is because he eventually took a picture of it standing on a fingerboard. [Source: Laughing Squid.]

This is the print campaign associated with the 1994 TV commercial and toy prize giveaway uncovered in the Mega-Nesquik post from last year. This one was found on Ebay Italy by “Cool Steve.”
