Our buddy Mark sells us DC. He was in town to show us the Summer08 stuff. He took us out for supper last night. Here's his side of the table - him and Greg. Lame.Here's my side of the table - me and Jermaine. Hard as nails.
Trying to order, we discovered that Mark is actually possessed by the devil.
Mark is going on about a text message from a girl who wanted this and that. Whatever, it was his boss saying "No Dessert". Dick.
We got a plate of sucky mussels, they were tiny, no juice at the bottom, and covered in way too much garlic.
This is some guacamole cheese hummus grossness that these guys devoured, friggin sickos.
This is where our burgers came. The menu said "Halifax's Best Burger". It was good, but I'm not sure about the best in Halifax, I guess it was the best last night for sure.
No more pics, scroll up for good times. Yeah I know, a bit of a lame blog.

Jermaine's Review Of Mr.Tovey's Movie's

Okay, so this week I had to review......THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.....This movie was Produced and Directed by Tobe Hooper, and was first released in 1974...Well I sure wish that I never had to witness this movie...........Let the video speak for itself!!!!UNTIL NEXT WEEK

Friday Frodown

This is Laurie. We call him Mr Gross. He washes our windows. With his tounge.
Jon discusses rules while Mr Gross doesn't even pretend to care.
Game On!! Mr Gross starts with the Lowball Lean technique. This is Jons achilles heel. Well played Mr Gross!
The air crackles with excitment as they do the math.
10 minutes later we have a winner. Mr Gross takes the first round. The crowd goes mild.
Jermaine signals round 2.......
.....and helps Jon loosen up.
Jon has a quick pray. It's all or nothing and he knows it.
YESSSS!! Nice roll. Jon busts a quick Air Keyboard session to celebrate. I think it was 'The Final Countdown' a real crowd pleaser.

Not only did Mr Gross lose everything, he also lost part of his wallet.
The boys celebrate with a quick game of Cracker Sandwich. There really are no losers here, just winners.
With his takings Jon purchased the bike he's always wanted. A brand new Mint Pastello Pro track bike. I love happy endings, even ones that are paid for.

The gift.

When resident film maker Jeebs Iznatch came crashing into the shop clutching his ample midsection screaming "Shit!" over and over, we thought he had been stabbed. After a few jabs about the plaid on plaid fiasco he calls attire we realized that he just needed to evacuate his engorged bowels.

Unfortunatley Jon was taking his mid afternoon constitutional. After a brief but violent tussle Jason was ejected to find another place to relinquish his muggy payload.

Howling like a wounded bear he squatted at the back of the shop and forced the pinguid obstruction through his protesting sphincter.

This was totally not cool. That was a new Analog shirt that I quite liked.

Anyway, after all that this was all he could get out. What a baby.

After a sip of water and a lie down he was OK. He offered to clean up and pay for the shirt, but left before doing either.

Test of Strength

The new test of strength here at the shop is to bend a Diamond wrench. Try it tough guys. Your hands and fingers will hate you cause they're stiff as a mothertrucker, but you just gotta battle through the pain.

Here is Nacho whining about the massive scar on his arm from a compound fracture this spring. (he only bent it enough to say it bent. It could likely bend itself back if it wanted to.)

Jermaine and Ian show their strength.

Zach was struggling. He's strong, but his hands are luxuriously soft. In the end he showed it who was boss.

From left, Zach's (he eventually finished it), Ian's, mine, Jermaine's.

Jodell drops by.

This is Jodell. He kinda just popped outta nowhere this summer and quickly became a skate park regular. He can go fast,pump the bowls and air out of them to flat. I keep telling him to branch out and learn some other shit, he'll catch on though. Anyway's he's a good kid but on a recent trip to proskates for a new board he gracefully knocked over one our coat racks.
He didn't even clean this shit up, he just left on his bike thats too big for him, ice grillin' and shit. I think he's from the hood.

The Man Who Souled The World

This is a doc about skateboard pariah Steve Rocco. He totally like fucked shit up in the 90's. I remember reading a story about him sleeping on the floor of the Sims wheel factory. Sims wheels were kinda cool so I didn't feel too bad for the guy.
Anyway, he started World Industries and Blind which back then were the shit. He started the whole logo rip off craze and bought a yacht. Oh yeah, he founded Big Brother mag which birthed the whole Jackass thing. Video Days, ever heard of it? He did it. I don't know what he's up to these days so I'm gonna watch the movie. Mines the Kiddie Pack.

Smile? Sort of.

This is our buddy Nate. He entered a Smile-athon a few weeks back for some charity. He raised over $18 by smiling non stop for two weeks. Good job Nate! Unfortunatley his face muscles petrified into this horrific visage that, lets be honest, not even a mother could love. In fact he has been disowned by his family. Who can blame them? I mean look at that twisted maw. It's the thing nightmares are made of. Anyway, doctors do expect a partial recovery. Good luck Nate!

Johnny Purcell's Video

Chances are.......when you were eleven, you could not skate like this!!!

New Hat's, Dratwaaaaa gettin down, and Jermaine's Corner!!

New ProSkates Hats Came In Today, What you know about that!!




Let me tell ya somethin, Chris is good for nothing, we asked him to talk about a snowboard......This is what we got.......





I just thought that I should talk about our winter stuff.......WE GOT IT!!!!

A past we would sooner forget.

In the mid 90's skateboarding saw some lean times. Chip and Pepper were in, skateboarders were all fags. Some shops had to resort to sordid measures to keep the lights on and boards gripped. Jon (who shall remain nameless), combined his leathersmithing skills with his deep knowledge of the cities dark sexual underbelly to single handedly keep the store afloat by supplying Halifax's more unsavoury types with what he called 'Party Outfits'. We did a brisk trade, accumulating awards and esteem among metros most depraved. The dream came crashing down after a Penile Enhancement Hoop demonstration went horribly wrong at a convention in some dudes kitchen.
Here is a rare artifact from those dark times.
Some items still available at deep discount. Call now!

Burning Rubber!!

Not much surprises me these days, but this did. Jermaine discovered this little gem behind the garbage can while foraging for food. Who's was it? Is someone doing the dirty after hours? The thing was half full so we are sending it to the lab. You cannot hide from your own DNA. Everyone is a suspect.

Day 4

Check how clean it still is, and it don't stink neither...take that Nacho.

Jermaine's new cast.

So Jermaine's been getting gnarly, and as a result he done busted his Scaphoid.


He looks a little bit sketched out by Jon's makeshift medical clinic


Jon assures him he has done this about a dozen times, so we cool.


Everything looks great in the end though.


YAAAAA DIIIIG?
AA makes casts look ganster as hell.

*disclaimer: pro skates is not a medical clinic, and the cast was installed after the consent of both parties.
