Eggstreme

California Fresh Eggs pin. Vintage, but from when? The visor and skateboard would suggest late 70’s early 80’s and the seller appears know nothing.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all you readers and supporters of Skate and Annoy. In the past, I’ve made promises about enhancements coming to to the site, some lofty, some vague. This year however, I am promising more of the same old shit. This photo of a sofa or bed or whatever in the bottom of […]

It’s […]

French Vert Turtles

Station ID for France 3, one of France’s state owned television channels. It actually dates back to 2013, and so French readers, I’m disappointed in you for not letting me know earlier. – Thanks to Nick Dawson for the tortue de la planche à roulettes.
