The big news of the week is, obviously, that the jackassworld community member roster finally topped the 30,000 mark (okay, yeah, with a little help from some historically dead folks such as Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Marilyn Monroe, and King Henry VIII, not to mention at least two or three schizophrenic clown personalities from Australia). Apparently this occurred over the weekend and it just so happened be some random guy from Chile going by the name of Cornetaboy, which if translated from Spanish to English means something like “bugle boy” (personally, I don’t get it, but then again I’m not Chilean nor was I fond of the former Chinese-American clothier). Currently, or at least as of this writing, our member count is up to 30,174, living, dead or otherwise, but that’s no reason to stop any of this from continuing to happen (thanks for your rural guerrilla antics, Pussy Power).
Sign Of The Fox joined us on jackassworld live this past Wednesday and alternately entertained and/or titillated viewers depending upon their sexual proclivities (apparently Handsome Jack didn’t land his name by accident). Jack, Dave Georgeff, and Mark Gracious acoustically played two songs off their most recent CD For Anybody Else and swapped early tales of longtime friends Loomis Fall and Johnny Knoxville. While intermittently tossing confetti around in celebration of a balloon-bobbing Cornetaboy, extra special guest Wee Man held down the couch duties with regular show host Rick Kosick, who once again succeeded in ticking off Mike G. no more than a few minutes into the show (maybe even seconds!). In the final live moments, Chris Pontius and Loomis pushed the sausage count in the room up into overdrive, while Shanna brought the community hammer down on her most recent match.com debacle. Look for a replay featuring some of this stuff, but not all, on Sunday.
Knoxville did the guest appearance DJ thing on Indie 103.1 FM this Thursday, and invited Pontius to join him in soiling the airwaves with a somewhat Purple Pony-ish Q&A with listeners. In addition to the further tales of his famous tallywhacker, Chris weighed in on the upsides and downsides of door number two and provided a very graphic description of the self-pleasuring events that went, for the most part, unseen during the “Playgirl Pontius” segment (aside from the six or seven other dudes present in Trip’s backyard at the time and the subsequent Internet generation of urban pirates that unearthed a certain “Too Hot” tape).
Dimitry Elyashkevich is back from his travels in the Far East and entertained all in the office with footage from behind the mysterious borders of North Korea. For now, let’s just say the electric light parade over at Disneyland is indie capitalist pig shit compared to what Kim Jong-il’s trippy and extremely well choreographed propaganda machine is capable of delivering. Anyway, once Dimitry’s mental faculties rejoin his physical locality, look forward to seeing some racy moments with Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, and Loomis from the most recent Gumball Rally. With further regard to Dunn, and probably in a much more timely manner, be sure to check him out this Saturday in the latest jackass flashback for “Poo Dive.”
