Saw this over at Wooster and thought it was funny enough for a repost,I love it when people use technology to fuck with things that don't really matter (Eric Elms NYC subway sign manipulation is another great example).

This ain't new or anything and not all that topical seeing as though we are done with that retard (thank god) but still it is awesome and if you've never watched it you should invest 10 minutes of your life to see what Democracy really looks like and get a laugh while your at it.

Just kidding it is actually made by Wood Wood and German brand Edsor Bow Tie's,but you should go check out the Zlog-Blog anyways and see what's good in the world of bow tie's and bicycles.

Let go and watch it crawl like bugs on your skin.

Mike has been killing it for a long time in the 206 I posted his video at the Brooklyn Banks over a year ago throwing down a huge 360 over a railing and almost hitting his head on the overpass (youtube it) if you aint seen it.My boy Tred hipped me to this video a few months back but I slept on it,well let me sleep no longer just watch Mr.Hoder (pre tattoos) kill it and the ender at Garfield is just bonkers I hope he rode that shit straight to Ezell's for some dirty bird playa.

The government just gave you another 4 months to get your fucking convertor box before they switch to digital,because and I quote "Senate Commerce Chairman John Rockefeller said delaying the TV switch is the right thing to do because the United States is not yet ready to make the transition."What does he mean were just not ready to plug in a convertor box,damn this country is in waaaaaaay worse shape that I thought.

Ed.Note This procrastinating stoner who steals TV has not gotten my convertor box yet either.

One of my favorite players in the 90's was a pitcher by the name of Turk Wendell not that he was that good but he was one of the funniest guys to watch play the game of baseball a real character.He had so many little eccentricities that were just hilarious to me we need more sports figures like him here is a list of some of his quirks.


1.Wendell insisted that the umpire roll the ball to the mound rather than simply throw it to him. If an umpire would ignorantly throw the ball to him, Wendell was known to let it go past him, or even to let it bounce off his chest, after which he would retrieve it from the ground.
2.Whenever he began a new inning, Wendell would turn and wave to the center fielder and wait for him to wave back before proceeding.
3.At the beginning of each inning, Wendell would reportedly draw three crosses in the pitcher's mound dirt.
4.Whenever his catcher stood, Wendell would crouch down.
5.When entering or leaving the field, Wendell would always take a tremendous leap over the baseline.
6.Wendell would chew black licorice (an alternative to the chewing tobacco used by many players).
7.Wendell often brushed his teeth between innings (some claim that he brushed between every inning). While brushing, he often hid in the dugout, either by ducking behind objects or by facing the wall.
8.Wendell forcefully slammed his rosin bag onto the pitcher's mound between outs.
9.Wendell wore jersey number 99, in honor of Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn, the main character in the movie Major League (played by Charlie Sheen). In addition, in 2000 he signed a contract worth $9,999,999.99.[1]
10.Wendell wore a necklace made from the claws and teeth of various animals he had hunted and killed.
11.While in the minor leagues, rumor was that he drank only orange juice (no food or any other drink) on days he pitched. But he also claimed to drink four cups of coffee before each start.
12.Wendell sometimes threw his glove into the stands when leaving a game.

This is what it looks like with a flash,saving your ass at night.


We just got these into the shop today,don't sleep supplies are super limited and I'm taking one of em.If your one of the homies get at me and I can probably swing you a little deal but you gotta pay for quality.Sag Life has slowly become one of the premiere bag companies out there along with Visvim,Head Porter and a small handful of others doing it right.Every time Sag collaborates with someone they sell out immediately and usually go for dumb prices on JP Yahoo and even though I would much rather it say SEA on the side and not NYC what are you gonna do it still is one of the nicest bags your likely to see.

Random photos of some stuff that is lying around my place,one of these days I'll get organized and all this art will be displayed right.

"...that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863.

Three new giant wheatpaste posters just got put up behind the store today of President Obama as Abraham Lincoln done by artist Ron English (Thanks Damion and Jose for installing.) There was a little debate at first over these posters getting installed due to speculation over the chance of assaisination seeing that's how Lincoln met his fate,and I'm glad to see that the City was not scared as it usually is and went forward with it.

Yeah guys probably not the best of ideas but thank you for having it,dude gets launch dadded.

By now I'm sure most of the world knows about PoorLifeChoices the amazing web site showing the rest of the world just how we do it in the 206.It is operated by a group of tight-knit P.O.S. (myself included) and is the brain child of The Pheed.Well here we have Ab-Fresh sporting the PLC crew neck sweatshirt a must have for those nights out on the town when nothing else will do.

Good work Martin,thanks for everything we owe you big time.

If this Presidency wasn't just so horribly sad Bush really is quite a funny guy.That being said I have been waiting for this day for 2922 days (I think my math is right) 490 of which Bushie got to spend in good ol' Crawford Texas and another 487 at lush Camp David while the rest of America was losing their respective asses.When I think about the fact that I got a few years with Carter (as an infant) then grew up with 8 years of Ronnie another 8 years of Senior Bush (one of my least favorite humans on the planet) then 8 great years with Clinton right into a black hole of shit which has been the last 8 years of Jr.'s reign.I know how depressing is that when you add up all those wasted years of Republican crap,TODAY COULDN'T BE A BETTER DAY!!!Here are ten of Bush's more memorable quotes god has this all just been one long nightmare?

10. "You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."

9. "I couldn't imagine somebody like Osama bin Laden understanding the joy of Hanukkah."

8. "I'm the master of low expectations."

7. "I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe - I believe what I believe is right."

6. "People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you."

5. "I try to go for long runs, but it's tough around here at the White House on the outdoor track. It's sad that I can't run longer. It's one of the saddest things about the presidency."

4. "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."

3. "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."

2. "Our enemies are innovative and resource, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

1. "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

I was lucky enough to get to shoot my Makino with one of my favorite photographers the other day for a up coming collabo between Kyle Johnson and a certain Seattle bike zlog I mean blog that will remain nameless,be on the look out for it in the near future.In the mean time you can spend the next three days of your life looking at Kyle's beautiful never ending Flickr account here.

So I went over to Steve and Angelina's place the other night to play some Wii with the fam and Steve's character was just to perfect a dead on match.

Tonight you finally have a good excuse to go to the U-District.I know it's a tough thing to do most of the time but Rob and Mary aka Aloha Terrorist will be showing new works that were inspired by and themed around the tee shirt painting they did for Flying Coffin a few seasons ago,so it should be amazing.It is @ Moksha on the Ave and starts at 7 o' clock suckas.

"I'LL CUT CHA I'LL CUT CHA GOOD." 2007.

New and somewhat improved on the original the new "McNasty" brought to you by LP.First get a Big Mac and a Chicken Sandwhich ,then pull the middle bun out of the Big Mac (eating is optional but LP did) then unwrap your Chicken guy and toss him right where the old Big Mac bun resided,then smash the rest of the Big Mac top on the whole thing and enjoy.BBQ,Ranch and other sauces are up to you on just how much shit your body can handle in one sitting.
