Dad didn’t say anything about a longboard
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.
On the third day he rose from the dead, dressed as a rabbit and gave chocolate to the kids
Easter bunnies on skateboards. It may look cheap, but this little guy costs $20 from Enjou Chocolat. More chocolate Easter bunnies after the jump. Don’t forget to rewind last year’s disturbing pre-restraining order footage of Peter Cottontail doing some shredding with the kids.
Happy New Year
A giant photo of MC appeared briefly in Times Square, New York, courtesy of the Vans billboard and an excellent camera work by Bryce Kanights. You can see the photo and more from the session over at Antigravity Press.
I forgot one.
I forgot about this Christmas tree made out of skateboards, sent to me by Jungle Jim Kuiack. At first glance I thought it was just an oddly shaped fake Christmas tree.
Merry Christmas from Skate and Annoy
If I could I’d have you all over for cocktails and fudge. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Ramadan, Kwanza, or Flying Spaghetti Day… Just be happy and enjoy yourself and your family and friends. Thanks to Rich for shooting this. He had a better shot but my beard was completely covering my face. Enlarge-o-rama. UPDATE: MC has a video clip.
Beaver on a skateboard
This Christmas ornament is from a company called American Greetings. This is their 2009 “Son” ornament, as you can see from the bottom of the beaver’s shoes. The hook is on one of his shoes, but he balances fine on his board without it. I managed to get a decent picture of this because I didn’t break it in the process, unlike the last time I photographed an animal skateboarding. Enlarge-o-rama.
Skateboard Raccoon
From Hallmark, circa 1985. I’m not sure who made the decision to have the Raccoon on a skateboard, but I’m glad they did. There’s a shot of the box after the jump. Depth of field is too shallow in this shot, but I dropped the ornament and broke the wheels right after I took this so that’s as good as it gets. It’s the day before Christmas and my tree already looks like it is about to spontaneously combust.
What Jew talking bout Willis?
Well, this started out as a way to appease our Jewish readers who may be sick of all this Christmas paraphernalia, but I couldn’t resist the pun, and so… well. There isn’t a lot out there connecting Chanukah with skateboarding. You can find a gross of generic Chanukah skateboards on Zazzle that had about as much effort put into them as well, me trying to find a good litereary device to… never mind. I did find this skateboard-themed menorah, and a statement on the Anti Defimation League web site talking about Vans shoes: An e-mail rumor long circulated on the Internet suggests that the maker of Vans skateboarding shoes is anti-Jewish because some of their shoes come with a pattern resembling a Star of David on a portion of their outsole (bottom). Some of the more conspiracy-minded e-mails suggest that this pattern was created by the company to put Jews down (“step on Jews”) or that the company was “founded by neo-Nazis.” ADL has concluded that there is no truth to any of these allegations. While ADL understands that the use of the Star of David pattern in this context may be offensive to some, there is no factual basis…
Bah Humduck!
Porky Pig gets r-r-radical with some X-Mas skateboarding action in this 2006 Looney Tunes special titled Bah Humduck!. It’s another adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, with Daffy as the greedy owner of a department store.
One footed rocket air?
You will receive this unique Christmas ornament featuring a boy doing a trick on his skateboard… …This will be a big hit with any young skateboarder you know! Another in a long string of Christmas ornaments, this one on eBay for an hour or so more. Made by the Kurt Adler company
