Okay, so as I mentioned last night, we have the return of a fun feature from the
past today, it will probably go live later this morning. Speaking of fun, I have
that root canal today on this tooth that's bothering me. It's just a one-root
dealie, so it should be a cakewalk for someone who has had as much dentistry as
I have. I sound like I believe it right?

I'd really like to 'buy' a T-shirt.
Of course I'd like a demo first to make sure it fits properly, is in a colour that agrees with my personal style and accentuates my features.
If I can't try it out first I might have to torrent it, just to be sure

Where do you think guys like Shaun White and Dave Mirra get their money from? I guess they are sellouts too.
My favorite quote regarding "sellouts" has always been from Snoop. "Nigga, they could put a Bud Light ad on my ASS if they paid me!"
I'd happily walk around looking like a blowup NASCAR doll if it meant I never had to work again.

They aren't sellouts, they're entitled to do whatever they want with their abilities. But I don't care to watch Red Bull Dave Mirra at the Mountain Dew Summer X-Games at Slim Jim Park presented by Scion.
Extreme sports grew as a form of rebellion, and some still are to an extent (university police yell at skateboarders all the time). Ten years ago, when I got what I did, that rebellious construct was just starting to really come down. The first X-Games were in 1997, and the first Tony Hawk was released in 1999.
It's the simple nature of anything in America, upon going mainstream, to be raped by capitalism. It's nobody's fault, but that doesn't make me any less jaded. |

BMX, snowboarding, and paintball Skateboarding took off more than the others for one simple reason...anyone can jump on a skateboard and do it pretty much anywhere. It's also the cheapest of the sports you mentioned. $20 can get a kid a craptastic skateboard at the mall. A decent one $100 and up.
BMX is much more limited in suitable locations, but rise in popularity in the 80's, but was overshadowed by Skateboarding.
Snowboarding...seasonal sport.
Paintball...uhhm, have you seen what paintballing as become? indoor/outdoor arenas made up of blow up air bags as cover. People sit behind cover and just keep shooting until they hit an opponent.
All 3 of these have corporate sponsors just like skateboarding. The only reason skateboarding has gone to much higher public and corporate success is due to the ease of accessibility, not because it was obscure. Not to mention it's far more entertaining to watch than either of the other three sports.
Sponsors go where the spectators are and that's skateboarding. But don't kid yourself if you don't think those same sponsors are all over the other sports too. Where do you think guys like Shaun White and Dave Mirra get their money from? I guess they are sellouts too.

You aren't alone - I have one of those as well - never bothers me much so I just leave it alone.
Is yours infected though? I went for ~4 years ignoring it, infected, but it wasn't that bad. I'd just have a little bloody discharge on my boxers.
Since surgery, however, it's been a lot worse. Shoulda just left it alone, I guess.
It was once or twice in high school, but the clueless idiots I saw in the hospital for it back then apparently didn't realize what it was.....
Other than a little irritation/itchiness on occasion (pretty rare), hasn't really bugged me for years, I guess..... |

There was a time when this guy was my hero! Now he's the epitome of corporate sellout. The guy is like 40. You expect him to make money from Skating appearances for the rest of his life?
Plus, his name as been on skate gear, clothing, shoes, games etc since the 80's. If you are only just coming to the conclusion that he has sold his name all over the place, where have you been the last 20 years?

"He is a bald pig [weighing] about 80 kilos [176lb]," he said.
"I wouldn't like to see the pig go as a pet anywhere because he could become a potentially dangerous animal."
Rangers say the pig will be captured and taken to a piggery. A piggery? Hahaha! I don't think Jules Winifield would have thought this was "one charmin' motherfuckin' pig". |
