$50 foot fetish

Opening bid on the skateboard and shoes with built in socks for a 70’s era Charlie’s Angels doll is $49. That’s for the skateboard and shoes, not the actual doll. That there is the “annoy” in Skate and Annoy, and then some.

Black Puffle

So this isn’t the main toy, but rather the toy’s pet. According to Club Penguin, the black puffle is strong and “loves the skateboard.” I kind of like this, but not for 33 bucks. Is that a grind rail on the side of the ramp?

James Bond Jr and Gordo on board

In 1991 there was an animated series based on a spinoff novel from Ian Flemming’s James Bond series. I just watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the first time in… decades, and I was suprised to learn that it was also based on an Ian Flemming novel and produced by Albert R. Broccoli, the guy […]

Jerry, no Tom

Skateboard Forensic Nerd

You see detective, this type of lichen is native to the Pacific Northwest, and by the flowering buds on the trees in the background are blooming early, which is caused by excessive urethane and concrete fumes found in high concentrations in certain cities. We ran the numbers on recent eBay auctions and cross referenced them […]

Squawk

Rio is the name of an animated movie that, near as I can tell from the previews they are showing on TV, has no plot other than the fact that a bunch of cheeky animals are hanging out together in Brazil. The movie doesn’t open until this weekend, but that hasn’t stopped 20th Century Fox […]

You want to put those batteries where?

Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out in 1988. I should have saved this for Easter.

Relics from McDonaldland

Grimace hasn’t been around much lately. I figured he’d been put out to pasture, but a source on Wikipedia says he semi-recently appeared in a 2009 commercial. Grimace originally appeared as an evil villain, now he’s just another old man on an old school board. Grimace may say 80’s but the copyright says 1992. It’s […]
