About to rock and roll, WWE salutes you
So now you can get official WWE skateboards with wrestling pro graphics, or maybe it’s been available for while and I just wasn’t aware because there is no Dynamic Dudes model.

Uppercut Deluxe
Uppercut Deluxe makes old style men’s grooming products such as pomade. They offer a collector’s box that contains a special edition Z-Flex skateboard that acts as a stand for these products when not being ridden.
The brand was built by the creative brains, passion and hard work of Luke Newman and Steve Purcell, childhood friends with a love for barbering, surf and skate. Newman discovered the world of barbering while staying in Portland Oregon with a friend building skateparks after his school years.
OK, I’ll admit I experienced my usual skeptical, negative backlash when I first saw this. But then, after reading a little, I thought if I had a business, why wouldn’t I try to incorporate the things I love if I could? Once, as a college dropout living in a college town “band house,” myself and a bunch of my roommates decided we all wanted “50’s head” right there, and right then. Trouble was, it was after the bars had closed. We scoured every open store in a 50 mile radius trying to find some pomade. Eventually we found some, probably at a truck stop, and we proceeded to give ourselves “50’s head.” We looked bad – instead of badass, because a good pompadour requires a little forethought before growing your hair. Then we spent a few hours sporting our new look in a 24 hour coffee shop on campus, drinking expresso, getting jittery, and looking weird. Nobody would make eye contact. It was anticlimactic, but we enjoyed it.

If you Have an unused half pipe…
Mr Duckhunt, excuse me, Dr Duckhunt has instructions on how to make an Army style tent from your collection of leftover unused halfpipes.
Ever want an army style tent but just cant afford it. if you Have an unused half pipe setting around you can Turn it into an army tent clubhouse. If your fortunate enough to be Canadian and traded a case of moose head for a half pipe and salmon . Then it’s not expensive. This project cost me under $60.
MC thinks this guy should be put on suicide watch. Judge for yourself at Instructables.
Freestyle Pizza
We passed Freestyle Pizza near Umatilla, Oregon on our road trip out east. It didn’t occur to us to actually eat there, but we did stop for pictures. We should have checked if they had custom take out boxes. Grover claims he sent me a shot of this last year, but I must have forgotten to post it. You can view larger versions after the jump. Those are some crazy Jetsons-looking trucks.
Bread Dude
This is Hawaiian Grill’s “Bread Dude.” Bread Dude? Seriously? OK. Wait, really? Bread Dude grill buns. I’m trying to imagine whose blood had more illicit chemicals in it, the person who came up with the idea, or the person who green lit it.

XKCD is not a crime
I don’t always completely understand every XKCD comic, but I enjoy them anyway.

Water decals from Socal Speed Shop
Some examples of water-release decals from the 60’s during the crossover of the hot-rod skateboarding fads. For sale now by Socal Speed Shop. I threw the weird surfer dude in there to make the cover image 4 panels. Something about those old head culture illustrators, they loved drawing normal guys whose eyes were bugging out in somewhat normal situations.
Sexy Jump Rope Workout to Lose weight
That’s the title of the video folks. Don’t be a jerk in the comments, Jocelyn has been known to lurk on S&A, and that concrete mini ramp setup in the background is actually hers.
Jeremy Scott settles with NHS/Phillips
Jeremy Scott and NHS reached a settlement over his pretty blatant copyright infringement on Santa Cruz skateboard graphics and other illustrations by Jim/Jimbo Phillips. Details are slim, as there was some sort of non disclosure agreement, but none of the fashions that Scott “designed” will be produced, and and the samples have been destroyed. Scott issues a lame, sideways apology as well. High Snobiety has additional comments from Bob Denike not found in the press release.
