Kool Aid Koin and Kommercial

Here’s an 80’s era token or coin with the Kool-Aid man riding a skateboard as well as skateboarding in a 70’s era Kool-Aid commercial. Unfortunately, Kool-Aid Man doesn’t ride the skateboard, and the kids spend more time talking about skateboarding than actually riding. Video quality is craptactular, if anyone has a better source let me […]

Who is this?

Who is this guy riding a Madrid skateboard in mid ollie over a banana in this OP ad?

Cool Frozen Desert

This is Cool Frozen Desert from Epoch. Just like Cool Cuts Carrots before it, although slightly less descriptive, and packaged with all the enthusiasm of one of those nutrition drinks for the geriatric set. Put it on a plate son, you’ll enjoy it more. Cool Frozen Desert features Rector knee pads in an illustration that […]

Cool Cuts Carrots

The Kilwag offspring have been trained well to enable my OCD act as spotters for potential content for Skate and Annoy. One of them pointed out an anthropomorphic carrot shredding on the packaging of Cool Cuts Carrots from ready Pac. Carrots with ranch dip? It should say carrots with attitude!

Magic Skateboard

You’re looking at a 1990 painting by Claude Harrison titled “Magic Skateboard” that sold at auction by Christies for about $4,500. Claude Harrison was a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters who lived from 1922 to 2009. He painted straight forward portraits, but he eventually developed a sort of fetish for harlequin figures. […]

Krusty Kills it!

Bart Simpson rides a skateboard. Yes that’s the oldest of skateboarding in pop culture news, but this shot of Krusty the Clown jumping Springfield Gorge is a major scoop. I don’t think you understand the magnitude of this discovery people! I’m starting my Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech tonight! Bonus Simpsons detritus after the jump, […]

Timbers Army Jacket

Tomorrow is opening day for the Portland Timbers MLS team. This jacket is sold only to members of the 107ist, the official organizing group behind the larger, much looser supporters group known as the Timbers Army. Normally I’d likely pass on posting another Powell Ripper appropriation, but this one manages to tie together 2 of […]

It’s Free Pancake Day

Today (March 3rd) is International Pancake Day, so that means free pancakes at IHOP, hopefully you’ll leave a donation for a charity, which is the whole point. What you’re looking at is Chocolate Chip Charlie, a pull back toy given away by IHOP in 1996. You can still get one for $5 delivered.

Skateboard Champion Patches

Check out these excellent Skateboard Champion embroidered patches. I’m not sure what a “cashpatch range” is, but I know that poster boy looks more like a comic book superhero than a skateboarder. Even without the great display, these patches are well worth the $46 cost. I’ll bet you could sell them for $5 a piece […]
