the jackassworld news for friday, august 15th


Well, what can be said about Greg Wolf this week that hasn’t already been said? Nothing. Not a god damn word. Why? Because nothing needs to be said now that we’ve got the full story on video. But not just any video. This is a video which singlehandedly validates the existence of jackassworld in one fell swoop of a shoulder. To think, if we didn’t have this website up and running, this whole episode might’ve gone unnoticed by the world at large—and that would have been a damn crying shame. Awooooooo!

In the once was lost but now is found category, Ryan Dunn blew through Los Angeles this past weekend and was more than happy to re-hash some historical jackass moments gone by. Look forward to seeing what may be our best “Flashback” moment yet as he recalls the time he took the plunge into a local septic tank in the backwoods of West Chester. Everyone’s favorite sexpat Chris Pontius is back in country and apparently back for good (and if Shanna has her wily way with him expect to see a new Purple Pony in the jackassworld stables soon).

This week on jackassworld live we had filmmaker Lauren Graham in the hot seat. A Canadian by trade or birth or whatever, Lauren first happened upon our sorry asses while shooting interviews for her Whiskey documentary a couple years back. Look at her now! Viewers were also treated to a pleasant surprise midway through the show (precisely as Rick was dialing up Preston Lacy to wish him a happy birthday), when Jeff Tremaine barged in with perennial Dickhouse crewmembers Guch and Trip Taylor. Look for the short but sweet replay this weekend, as well as an all new “My Awesome Crap” featuring Gaby Godhead of The Virginia City Revival, and Lauren’s new artist profile on “The Dark.”

Stumbling around the community amid the madness of Deborah and Camden Town Katie last week, I totally forgot to mention a few other outstanding member moments. First, we have Mr. Wine, who not only picked up a prize in the art contest but then went on to shoot a video of him opening his box of jackassworld crap. In other video vagaries, Ashley took the initiative to repurpose our random news video post of Rick’s mugged-up facials and create a commercial all unto her own; meanwhile, in the pepto-pink hell upstairs, her mirror image named Vanessa crafted a flashy new intro to the jackassworld live show that we’ve been using ever since it was uploaded. Last, but certainly not least, CrazyEmily finally settled upon a photo to use for her profile and we couldn’t be happier to have her on the site.

Saturday morning addendum while checking my IP address on the toilet: Okay, yes, I totally forgot to mention the two longstanding jackassworld members, Holli and Amanda, who finally scrambled over the age-gate after months of jibes and psychological abuse from the staff here. Happy birthday, you little bastards!
