Well, it’s summertime, and with summer comes travel and with travel comes absence. Hence, the disappearance of the news column for two weeks in a row (I went to NYC and all I got was a lousy hemorrhoid), and the appearance of jackassworld stickers in restroom toilets around Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (good job, Katie!). They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and it’s true. I really missed messing around on the site here and it’s been great fun getting back into the general mix of things. But enough of the bitch shit—let’s get it on.

First, a belated “Happy Birthday!” to Phil Margera. I’d make a wayward wisecrack about Mike G. not reminding us about this event, but he’s been exceptionally testy lately and I’d rather not incur the wrath—especially when it’s all Josh’s fault for riling him up in the first place, but more about that in this week’s mailbag segment. And we would’ve nailed Chris Pontius’s birthday, but then the Interweb done went and fluxed all our plans up, as well as any chance for a jackassworld live show. Yes, I know we’d promised to make up for it by going “on air” Thursday, but then we had an altogether different meltdown in the office of an unforeseen and non-technological variety. Uncomfortable hugs, full-frontal nudity, and a near choke-out were but some of the factors involved, the chaotic whirlwind of which would’ve made for a remarkable voyeuristic viewing experience had we ever managed to get those 24-hour security cameras online that we’d first talked about back in the formative planning stages of the site. But we did have a roving camera on hand, so look for some type of “replay” once the smoke clears. Anyway, we’d also like to say happy birthday to our resident artistic twins, Vanessa and Ashley, who both turn 20 yet somehow managed to come out on July 20th and 21st (the jury is still out on who the bad seed will be in the combo, but time will tell…it always does).

If you haven’t been around the site lately, here are a few things worth checking out: more behind-the-scenes gold with Eddie Barbanell when he was in the office manhandling the jackassworld weather report ; Johnny Knoxville’s sit down drinking session with BMX legend Mat Hoffman; and an arty interlude with artist Sarah Green. Looking forward into the future—a future forever at war with Flux and Kosick’s allegedly insatiable appetite for the Interweb—Roger Alan Wade will grace our Saturday posting schedule with an esteemed and sober appearance on a special edition of “No Bourbon, No Scotch, and No Beer.” Then we’ll have more of the usual unseen, not on DVD, and other aberrations of the ass throughout the coming week.

In big budget, big time television network news, Wee Man unfortunately did not take the big top crown on NBC’s Celebrity Circus. A rather confusing outcome considering no circus is worth its weight in entertainment gold without a kick ass midjit holding down the show. Thanks to all in the jackassworld community for their support at the voting polls, though—it made a definite difference and we know Wee was very appreciative of the efforts.
