NHS has never met a collab they didn’t like, and this time it’s with the golf brand Malbon. (Insert obligatory Schwing Magazine reference.) See modified versions of Jim Phillips legendary artwork on golf gloves, golf bags, t-shirts and hoodies. Three putting is not crime? Maybe they are overpriced because it’s golf gear and it appeals to a wealthier audience, maybe it’s because it a collab. Why am I such an Unhappy Madison? Maybe I’m just jealous because nobody ever approaches Skate and Annoy for a collab. Maybe I’m just upset because I have a different sports crossover fetish.

Quite a while back Colin at Unheard sent me pic of this felt dragon on skateboard that he saw at Powells Books. If he told me what the label said I’d link to the producer. Maybe I’ll remember to look for it the next time I visit Powell’s. Is this a toy or an X-mas ornament? You tell me. (Please do, actually.)

The Tangerine Taco hates Sesame Street, but Sesame Street carries on. This is Oscar the Grouch’s pet worm Slimey on tour in social media posts traveling the world. Slimey was photographed at a skatepark in Kihei on Maui. It’s been a while since I’ve added a Muppets-related post here.

At&T started running this commercial in late 2024, I just saw it on TV earlier this week and realized I never posted it. The This Is How We Soccer ad is about how AT&T supports soccer fans of all types, those who watch religiously, and those who “wear the jersey just for style club” AKA the posers! They’re standing in the middle of the flat taking selfies! Is that better or worse than using RC cars in the skate park? It’s fitting they chose A Seattle Sounders kit for one of the actors, total plastic fan base. SHOTS FIRED! It also features former US Women’s team legend Mia Hamm.

The Portland Pickles are a collegiate summer baseball team that does a lot of funny promotions and events at the ballpark in the vein of a very scaled back Savannah Bananas. They also have a big, goofy mascot named Dillion who occasionally gets into some trouble. OnAugust 3rd they’re having “Dilly Hawk Pro Skater” night where you will get a chance to meet some pro skaters. I’m not sure what constitutes a pro skater these days, but interestingly one of the pros is Anita Sanford. If you’re of a certain age, you might remember her as Anita Tessensohn from her part in Powell-Peralta’s Public Domain, or her appearance in the Powell Prelate “Some Girls Play With Dolls” ad. UPDATE: What makes a skater jacket?

The Aquabats hanging out at Money Ruins Everything skate shop in Oklahoma City. What’s not to love? It’s hilarious that they appear to be out in public walking around in their Aquabats uniforms. It reminds me of seeing Rocket from the Crypt hanging out in matching jumpsuits that they all changed into after their gig. Can we get that TV show back on the air please?

Brooks Brothers posted this image on social media promoting the “classic collegiate style, updated for that fresh-season mindset.” This ad really hit home for me. I basically dropped out of college the first time I went, mostly because of skateboarding. Maybe if I had dressed in luxury clothing and worn those shoes I could have made something of myself instead of leaving behind a legacy of a skateboarding website that I populate purely for my own amusement. Fresh season mindset for the win!

The hardest working man in MLS, Diego Chara must have been gifted a custom longboard made by a fan. The picture on the right shows him standing next to another Portland Timbers legend and former player Dairon Asprilla, who was in town celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Timbers. The photo was taken as he was entering the stadium for the match against Minnesota on July 7th. Amazingly, Chara is 39 and still playing. His last start was on July 30th in a 4-0 win against Mexican side Atlético de San Luis. If you’re keeping track, this is the 11th MLS related post here on Skate and Annoy, your hub for skateboarding and Major League Soccer.

Cariuma is discontinuing this Bart Simpson shoe that I never new existed. I thought this was just a regular shoe with Bart Simpson riding a skateboard, but apparently it’s an actual skate shoe from a brand that I’d never heard of, and they’ve been at it for a while. You guys know where to send the review shoes. Size 13.5 please…

I caught DEVO in Seattle this weekend. It was a great show because it ended at 8pm and I didn’t have to stay up past midnight. And oh yeah, it was also a great show! They played for around an hour and a half or more, including a couple of quick costume changes. Aside from a couple songs in the first third of the set where it seems to drag a little, the rest of the night was very high energy. They opened with “Don’t Shoot (I’m A Man)” off Something For Everyone, and the rest was a mix of songs from Are We Not Men, Oh, No! It’s Devo, Freedom Of Choice, and Duty Now For The Future before closing with a guest appearance from Booji Boy singing “Beautiful World” off New Traditionalists. I found myself with a big stupid grin involuntarily plastered on my face the whole time, and Booji nearly brought me to tears with no alcohol or drugs involved! I highly recommend seeing them live if you can. Skateboarding? During “Freedom Of Choice” they showed some of the original music video footage shot at Marina del Rey skatepark on the big screen. We’re all DEVO.
