photo of the day

Johnny & Manny

This photo was taken in Baton Rouge, LA, and it was cold as hell that day. I had on my favorite jacket, too. I got it the first time I went to London about eight years ago. I went over with my friend Mike Ballard so he could film me getting shot out of a cannon in Leeds for the jackass pilot. On the flight home, Ballard took some sleeping pills so he could rest on the flight. Only he didn’t make it to the flight—he passed out in the terminal. Sucked for me because Ballard is about 6′ 6″ and I had to carry his big ass to our seats. I remember strapping him in his seatbelt and he was passed out leaning forward with drool dripping down his shirt. Ha ha ha… Anyway, back to the picture. Check out the sweet rebel flag cowboy boots in the middle of the frame. Ah, the south will rise again!
