Cute dog, Ugly trucks.

This calendar is on the wall of one of my coworker’s cubicle. Something about the board looks odd. The size seems small and a closeup of the trucks looked oddly familiar.

Acrylates Copolymer, Ethyl Acetate

The ingredients in fake tattoos, in case you were wondering. This package of fake tattoos actually has the ingredients listed on the back, as if you were going to eat them. This guy looks familiar.

Monster Bandages

The novelty bandage business has really taken off. The Monsterville name is synonymous with first aid, so I’m sure these were worth the extra cost. One side of the sanitary wrapper is clear, so I didn’t have to open half of them to find one with a skateboard on it.

My dog ate my post

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 […]

This one is made out of hollow plastic and has a built in mounting bracket. Spotted at […]

Portland Timbers vs Canadian Maple

Best skate bag for travel

I only fly a couple times a year. I used to bring my skateboard with me as a carry on, but with laptops, camera bags and especially kids, it became more of a hassle than it was worth, so I began to look for skate bag options. I had one of those old Thrasher bags […]
