These Powell Peralta reissues are just the tip of the iceberg of what Stacy is pushing in connection with the Bones Brigade documentary. A few items are already sold out. I have… mixed feelings about this. I don’t begrudge these guys the right to make a living, but it seems a little excessive and counterintuitive to the legacy. I don’t know if they need the money or not. Maybe they realize their shelf life is limited at this (amazingly) late stage in their careers, so they’re just trying to get one last payoff. Check out the goods.

A long time ago, but not that long ago, someone claimed the only reason they were re-releasing the Gator board with “Gator” on it instead of “Vision” (like they originally did the re-issues) because there was a mixup with the old films. A little while later they claimed that Mark “Gator” Anthony never owned the trademark to the “Gator” name so it was ok. So… someone sure is confused about those old films huh?

Bones Brigade coverage in the October issue of Rolling Stone. Maybe it’s November, magazines always seem to come a month ahead of schedule. Adele is on the cover. That’s a new photo of an old photo, both by Bryce Kanights.

This is one of those crappy little cinch-style backpacks sold at the online equivalent of one of those stores at the mall that’s filled with 100% character goods, Hello Kitty and the like. I think Donald Duck is going to eat it. Bonus shot of Mickey Mouse in a full on stinkbug style frontside air after the jump.

Market research has determined that Europeans, when eating junk food, want to be reminded of extreme!™ sports and the United States of America. And hence, Cheetos Spinners as spotted in Holland, with Chester Cheetah hitting a stair set somewhere in Seattle. Chester has aged well.

This week’s Shot of the Week is a Robert Parish photo by Spencer Morgan. Apparently this guy is an ollie monster.

I have evolved, but I still get around. Here’s a true exchange I had about this recent eBay purchase:

Friend: How the hell are you going to listen to an 8-track?

ME: It’s OK, I have it on vinyl too.

Friend: Your wife must hate you.
