jackass archive – the skunk vs. johnny knoxville

warning
These webclips feature stunts performed either by professionals or under the supervision of professionals. MTV and the producers must insist that no one attempt any activity performed on the site.

Way before Wildboyz came trotting along we were all up on the Animal Planet tip with jackass and it was only fifteen or so shoots before Johnny Knoxville requested to be on the receiving end of nature’s foremost perfume counter: the skunk. However, little did we then know how damn hard it was (and actually still is) to find a “loaded” skunk. (In case you’re not down with pest control jargon “loaded” means the skunk is as wild as they come with anal stink glands very much intact and working; captive, pet, or “animal actor” skunks will all have these removed.) Luckily we eventually stumbled upon a cooperative woman on the Enterweb that operated her own “pest control” business specifically geared toward the humane removal and relocation of skunks. She was the Skunk Lady, and we politely requested that she call us up the next time she had a trapped skunk on her hands to let Knoxville come and do the honors on releasing it back into the wild.

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.

jackass flashback – bucket cars
I've said it before (I did! you'll see below!), but "Bucket Cars" was one of the greatest stunts to be pulled off in the short history of the jackass television series.

Despite a technological burp of mini-laughable proportions we’re still pleased to present the all-new tease to the upcoming second season of Nitro Circus on MTV. Day late, dollar short, whatever. Just drop yer drawers and give a holler ’cause this dog will run come the night of Thursday, August 27th.

arachnophobia vs. ergophobia
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**.

photos of the day – the “see you sunday” outcasts
With the "See You Sunday" clips spilling out in rapid, daily succession this week, I've somehow gotta get rid of my excess shots from that night, so here you go. It's fancy pants flip book time again. There's something for everyone here, I believe (even Marciano!)

photo of the day – three dudes, one camera
By now you're all familiar with Two Chicks, One Cup, right? I know, it sounds silly to ask that since everyone and their 90-year-old grandmother filmed themselves reacting to it (funny what passes for entertainment these days), but I was surprised to find that some people are still unfamiliar with Glass Ass
