jackassworld

Before looking at the day that is now and the week ahead, let’s first reflect upon the week that was—because oh what a week it was. To begin with, Johnny Knoxville warmed it up nicely with his new series “One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer.” Jay Chandrasekhar took the inaugural special guest honors, but Dale Watson will be next up at the informal bar and I wouldn’t be surprised if him and Knoxville snuck in at least one slug of moonshine as well.

Another newcomer to our expanding world of “original programming” was a fun little segment featuring Jesse Merlin. Operatic by day and filthy by night, Jesse was kind enough to shed some light on a very dark and dirty world for us with his “Show and Tell” program, co-starring Johnny Knoxville, JxPx Blackmon’s nipples, and some super fucking scary things that are apparently inserted into urethras for fun (as opposed to the self-catheter that Knoxville is currently grappling with both mentally and physically). Should you have any further questions about the sadomasochistic world of nightmarish wonders, feel free to visit Mister Merlin’s profile page in the jackassworld community. Don’t be shy—he’s filthy, but well humored, well spoken, and considerably sharper than the average fanny paddle.

On Wednesday’s jackassworld live show, Preston Lacy finally graced the fetid confines of our conference room to discuss shit like his acting career, high-anxiety banjo hand, the upcoming appearance by Butterbean on The Preston Lacy Show, how hot and poorly ventilated the room was, and that god-awful tramp stamp of Danger Ehren. Expect to see a replay of Preston’s appearance in a few weeks, as we’ve still got to flush out the HDR and Loomis cuts, not to mention the late and debatedly great office tour from last week.

This weekend we’ll be posting some Mother’s Day-themed material featuring April Margera, Bam’s more than forgiving mom, and Dottie, the nice old lady who has accompanied Knoxville on a number of 90-year-old pranks throughout the years of jackass. You’ll also get to go deep inside the lair of Loomis and check out all the awesome crap he’s acquired throughout the years. Other highlights to come in the coming week will be a never-before-seen jackass segment from 2001 with Knoxville and a pipsqueak Ryan Sheckler, and the long talked about “Spud Man” T-shirt contest of Knoxville’s.

In the outer world of the cast, Bam is currently involved in the post-production of Bam Margera Presents: Where the Fuck is Santa? If you’re wondering what the fuck this is, it’s a new DVD that will be released this coming holiday season by Warner Home Video. The gist of the storyline is that Bam and friends travel to Finland in search of a Christmas present for Missy—that red fat fuck Santa Claus—and they meet up with the Dudesons and assorted Finnish rock bands along the way.

The jackassworld community has become a hotbed of activity lately. First off, someone has been slipping into Ehren McGhehey’s profile on the sly and populating it with gay porn propaganda and verbiage. Not only that, but they’ve gone so far as to post comments on other community member pages under the homoerotic guise of Ehren. Dave England is the obvious suspect and Rick Kosick is now pissed at him once again. Several other members (namely those who occupy the top tier of community involvement) have taken to openly fantasizing about which cast/crew member they’d have sex with—provided they had sex with a certain other cast member first. Out of the hypothetical carnal bedroom topics and into the musical category, Jason has started to compile a list of all the original songs and artists that were used on the jackass television show (seeing as you’re the resident audiophile savant here, Wolfie, perhaps you can help by filling in a few of the missing notes).

Tonight, MTV will be re-airing Mat Hoffman’s Tribute to Evel Knievel at 11:00pm, with a special encore presentation at 3:00am Saturday, May 10th, for all those d-r-u-n-k-s stumbling home late from the bar.

Still looking for a good time? Be sure to check out Dave Carnie’s recent interview with renowned Australian artist Pricasso, who looks a good strange bit like an aged, buffed, and shaved Nate Sherwood, or this headline from the BBC News RSS feed, “Great Tits Cope Well With Warming,” which almost makes the concept of global warming sound like it’s not such a bad thing after all.
