photo of the day – unga
Call off the evolutionary watchdogs … the missing link between homo neanderthalensis and homo erectus has been found! The man (everything checked out under the hood) has since been classified as homo ungasmashus or “Canada Man” by scientists outstanding in a field, many of whom are fascinated by his keen ear for sound and remarkably dexterous abilities to wield a long, boom-like pole and twiddle with small mixing board knobs. When praised for these actions, Canada Man proudly stated, “Opposable thumbs work GOOD!” So on the heels of this momentous discovery for all mankind, I apologize for decrying a certain holiday the other day. Apparently the Canadians have good reason to celebrate Thanksgiving after all.

Y'know, now that I look at these photos from Wildboyz days past, I'm not sure whether our week of discovery is coming to a close or coming out of the closet.

During the run of Wildboyz from 2003-2005, the cast and crew saw more exotic locations, people, flora, and fauna than most of the world's population does in a lifetime.

We have, on occasion, referred to Cordell Mansfield as "Unga" in the past, a nickname earned by his somewhat caveman-like demeanor (or is that just the Canadian in him?). This angers him at time, of course, in true caveman-like fashion (that is definitely the Canadian in him)

The other day, courtesy of Street Bike Tommy*, I learned a new word: ergophobia, which can loosely mean the irrational fear of work or the workplace. I don't believe I have ergophobia per se, but I do have a fear of being contained in a cubicle-oriented environment**.

photo of the day – the miss nitro circus contest
Now for those with a trivial eye for chyrons and knowing who the fuck people are and what they do, you may have seen a mystery girl pop up in the pool during the recent “Panamania” episode of Nitro Circus. Her name was Estrella Verde (Green Star, what?) and she was described as being the “Miss Nitro Circus Runner-Up.” “Hold on now,” you say. “If she’s the runner-up then who the f’ is the real Miss Nitro Circus deal? And where exactly was this contest held in the first place?” Well, lucky for you, I was there, I know the answer to all these questions, and I have the photos to prove it … and more! (more…)
Last night, Jeff Tremaine, Cordell Mansfield, and Shanna visited with Steve-O prior to his tackling the Lindy before a live studio audience that included Phil and April Margera.
|
The very first time I met Cordell Mansfield was on jackass the movie in 2002.
|
A few months back, we were filming with Travis Pastrana and he convinced Cordell Mansfield, our sound caveman, to jump a shitty old car over a pretty gnarly gap.
|
It was inevitable that on most every Wildboyz trip the immediate crew would congregate in the hotel swimming pool in the wee hours of the night.
