photo of the day – three 6 mafia
What is it about hip-hop/rap groups that brings out such bizarre facials and physical gesticulating in those that stand about them during photo opportunities? Witness this: The Academy Award-winning Three 6 Mafia with basic cable television stars the Wildboyz and a smattering of their crew. Jeff Tremaine looks like he just walked out of the dentist after three-to-six shots of Novocaine to the face. Chris Pontius is either very cold or he loves himself very much. Steve-O, well, he appears to be imagining an imaginary bar or countertop to rest his weary arms upon. Dimitry Elyashkevich … I don’t know. Looks to be something he might’ve learned on the mean streets of Brooklyn. The only two normal, down-to-earth folks here would be Mark Rackley (in classic athletic team yearbook pose) and Storm Taylor (former triple white convertible Cabriolet owner and suspected metrosexual turned good ole boy/producer of The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia). Anyway, just an observation. (more…)

Up until now there's really only been two famous Slaters in Hollywood and that would be Christian (Jack Nicholson) and Helen (Supergirl).

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.

Uh, yeah. So the other day when I said I'd saved the best for last ... well ... I was kinda talking out of my ass.

photos of the day – behind the iron curtain
“Na Zdorovye!” as these would-be Russians would say—well, all except the one who was genuinely born with the “water of life” already burning through his Belarusian veins.
I know I said this was to be an informal week of edjumacation about the world around you, but let’s take a break from exploring all the flora and fauna to peek beneath the bagged-out skirt of Mother Russia. For the longest time in history what went on behind the Iron Curtain stayed behind the Iron Curtain, but that’s all changing today. No, I’m not talking about the fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of Borat, I’m talking about some of the photographic silliness that took place when the Wildboyz cast and crew took Russia by a not so sober storm in 2005—their last great adventure before the world-traveling jig was up.
Let's see...what can I learn you about today. I know. India! Man, what a country.

I've decided today that it will be an unofficial week of discovery here on jackassworld, where you learn not only a little bit about the world around you but other random stuff, too.

Normally I'm not one to toot my own horn, but since it's Sunday I'm happy to present an extra-special huge edition of Last Call from the night of my big book launch party for The Disposable Skateboard Bible.

Before the Wildboyz formally became the Wildboyz in 2003, one of the working titles being bandied about was "Safari Dudes." Of course, the "safari" term doesn't necessarily translate to all foreign locales.
