CALIFORNIA UBER ALLIS






plus DANIEL HIGGS signing me right to a mystic netherworld on the top of the steepest hill
plus breaking into a ROOFTOP POOL
plus the best snacks
plus HYPHEE



y'all are missed

mud flowed up into lump's pyjammas

I just went through every tape I have owned since I was in the fifth grade. At the bottom of the box there was a dub with PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on one side and EVERCLEAR 'So Much for the Afterglow' on the other.


STILL GOOD AFTER ALL THESE YEARS







PS: fuck everclear for disabling embedding on all their videos on youtube

shredding the rad

My 33 year-old brother Andy who lives in Boulder recently made this is status on facebook:

Andrew Giordano was wondering why all you bro bra's have to wear you goggles for like four hours after getting off the mountain? we get it, you were "shredding the rad" now why don't you shed your gear dorks.

WHOA. With slang like that, maybe we do have more in common?

Sledge-o-matic



The other day Clancy and Joe and I were talking about sexy-unsexy Halloween costumes. The whole idea is you can make an utterly unsexy thing into a clever Halloween costume by making the sexy version of it. It's supposed to be making fun of the way that squares treat Halloween - an excuse to wear underwear for clothes by calling it a costume or putting on bunny ears. Which is fine, but not very smart or funny and a real waste of a costume tradition. In the sexy-unsexy category, some past highlights for me include Sexy Gallagher (complete with an inflatable hammer and a miniskirt with suspenders over a giant shirt -no big couch) and from this year, Sexy Mr Peanut.

Clancy said that Cara did sexy Garfield, which is a real gem.

Then it hit me, the greatest sexy unsexy to date - THE SCREAM MASK.

Slash that dumpy robe into a sexy tank dress, put some fake eyelashes on those haunting black pits, and smear some red lipstick all over that pouty ghost mouth - IT IS TIME TO GET FREAKY



it really does look like an 'O-FACE'
