GoGo Squeeze peach apple sauce in a tube. I get annoyed at my wife for buying this kind of over-packaged landfill, until she reminds me that our kids are both going to be astronauts, so they’d better get used to it. Also, my kids think the peach looks like a butt.

In some sort of bizarre twist of fate, the city of Eugene, Oregon found itself with a giant surplus of cash and decided to fund floundering skatepark efforts. Sk8Eugene had this to say:

In a monumental unanimous decision, the Eugene City Council today voted 8-0 in favor of endorsing the Eugene Parks Department’s recent proposal to allocate additional SDC (Systems Development Charge) funds for the development and construction of the WJ Skatepark in order to begin construction of the ENTIRE proposed skatepark in 2013. Just as importantly, the Parks proposal does not require additional private fundraising for near term ongoing maintenance. Although a continued capital private fundraising campaign will be necessary and ongoing, the Eugene Parks Foundation has stepped up to spearhead these additional private fundraising efforts.

Those giant pylons in the design sketch above are actually piers supporting an overhead highway. Fly-throughs of the proposed Dreamland park design can be found here.

The description is pretentious, and even though it looks fitting, there’s absolutely no Devo in the soundtrack. You’ll never get the next 3 minutes and 34 seconds back. I like a lot of weird, pointless stuff, but this? Well, you’ve been warned.

It sounds like one of MC’s comics but we have it from a reliable source that the following question recently appeared on a Family Feud episode:

My mom told me one of the questions on family feud yesterday was, “Name something men keep doing even though they are too old.” She gloated in telling me a top answer was “skateboarding.” I looked for a vid to post to SnA, but, alas, found no residual evidence on the interwebby thingamabob. Guess I got take the old lady’s word for it.

That’s Skate and Annoy gold, my friends. Please tell me someone recorded this! As for reliable sources, I guess a reader’s mom qualifies as respectable, even if the reader is kind of dodgy.

This week’s installment of Dutch hipster pop music is brought to you thanks to Matthijs, who claims he isn’t into this sort of thing, but then how else would he have found it? At least I’m spelling his name right this time. As for Jeebus, all I have to say is Faberyayo, Zomer Aan De Wand, and I don’t know what that means.
