What do dads want for Father’s day? At least one dad wants a new deck. From the June 15th edition of the Metro in New York. – Thanks to Doug for the tip.

Oregon local Rion Linderman joined the team at Addikt skateboards. Here’s a shot of him down south at Curtis’ pool in Sacramento, working for the man. Check out the Shot of the Week.

Somewhere in middle America a security guard accosts a skateboarder. Pittsburgh, according to the video. I don’t know where the law stands on security guards confiscating personal property. I predict nothing will come of this though. A reprimand possibly. That’s it. I actually didn’t watch it with the sound on, so I’ll let the peanut gallery weigh in. It’s important to note that we didn’t get to se what happened beforehand, not that it’s that important in all likelihood. Instead, lets talks about KENNY POWERS!!!!!!!!!!! I’m stoked that Eastbound and Down got picked up for a second season. I just found out about it last night before the True Blood kick off. Danny McBride is a funny mofo, Kenny Powers may well be the thing he is remembered for. This segment called Learning to Skateboard looks kind of old and isn’t his best work, but it has it’s moments and a little bit of an embryonic Kenny Powers. Don’t forget to be outraged by the security guard. There’s a pretty funny segment in Observe and Report where the security guards go off on skateboarders. Again, i wanted to be outraged, but I’d rather laugh. – Thanks to John and Sarib…

Not skateboards, (or maybe they already are) but guys dressed in costumes are not allowed to hang out on the walk of fame in Hollywood. It seems some of the characters were a little overzealous in demanding compensation for being used as photo prop, which doesn’t concern any of us, except for the fact that this photo of an Elvis impersonator riding a skateboard appeared to illustrate the story on Perez Hilton. – Thanks to Mrs Kilwag for the tip.

Here’s an episode of the 1986 show Computer Chronicles featuring a suit from Electronic Arts talking about the latest, greatest in computer games, Skate or Die, available for the Commodore 64. – Thanks to Stephen B for the tip.

I don’t have anything else for you today. Yesterday the sewer pipe backed up into my basement. Fun!!!!!!! So I spent last night cleaning up fecal matter instead of writing posts. I just happened to have the Factory Made in can and ready to go. I’m pretty sure that the people who sent these items in to Skate and Annoy didn’t envision poop in their viral marketing plans. I got the special edition of the Bones Brigade Video Show, complete with a bitching magic motion lenticular print on the cover and some swag in the form of a nice Cab shirt and some stickers. My first real board was a red Cabellero of the 1984 vintage. Thanks to Skate One. Also in the mailbox, some funky looking PiiQ headphones from Sony. They’ve got another pair of Qlasp headphones for one of our readers. Leave a comment on this post and I’ll pick one at random to win them, shipped directly from the marketing agency, which means you won’t have to wait an obscene amount of time to get them.
