Back to the ‘Berg

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Thrasher held the Back to the Berg contest down the massive 4 set at Wallenberg on Saturday, but you already knew that. Heavy shit went down, and Lizard and Chris Cole killed it. Check the video below from Thrasher’s website. Damn.

Nice Work

Ron’s off to Hood

Friday, May 29th, 2009

He’s out there setting up with the folks at Windell’s

Dumont’s been watching the dog while Ron’s better half is at work… but you can’t teach an old dog (or young one for that matter) new tricks…

Well here’s Gracie camped out waiting for Ron to get back…

Note the lack of collar and leash…Gracie’s been known to hot-lap the office regularly when she’s here with Ron…notice how well behaved and calm she is without Ron here…Coincidence?

Wednesday’s with Bill. Murray.

Don’t drink and drive kids.

Quitting Smoking: Day 2

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

I recently started smoking again after a pretty good off streak. I was bitching to Ron about how I need some real incentive to quit.  Here is the bet: If I dont smoke a butt for six months Ron has to get a Henna Tattoo of a Rose on his lower back.  If I blow it I have to get the Henna Rose Tattoo.

WWBM is back in effect, and we’re starting back up slowly. Bill just has a cameo in this clip, and i really have no idea what’s going on in this one, but HIM kills it, as usual.

Something I was thinking about.

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

I really like food, so I kind of like grocery shopping because I think of how I’m going to be eating all the food that I’m buying.

I’m not anti-social, but I’m not a huge fan, of bumping into, and then re-bumping into someone at the supermarket, and then re-bumping and re-bumping. It sucks and it’s distracting. So I made some Dimitri Martin-esque photos to demonstrate some shopping options.

The first diagram is a worse case scenario. So you meet up on the left side, exchange some friendly banter, secretly you’re trying to escape the whole time and pick out some fruits and vegetables. Then the journey of criss-crossing begins. “Ho ho ho, hey again.”, “getting some rice I see…”, next isle, awkward eye contact, next aisle, a little fake cell phone talking, and then, you skip the bread aisle to escape, and he grabs bread quick and ends up in back of you in line. At this point, you’re pretty much forced to murder him. It’s not your fault your hand was forced.

This next move is called the Hail Mary. You meet up in the veggies again, and then you high tail it to the other end of the store. This move makes it so chances are; you’re only going to see your friend once more, which is tolerable. You do however run the risk of him pulling the same move. When two people Hail Mary, they’re then forced to shop together, proving to each other that they don’t hate the other person and weren’t trying to escape them by heading to the other side of the store.

The third and final maneuver is the only correct maneuver to pull. This move is called the Honda Shuffle. It’s called that because I drive a Honda. If you see the diagram below, after the initial meeting, I walk outside and sit in my car until chatty cathy in there is done buying groceries. Then I can go in and buy my damn Bagel Bites in peace.
