photo of the day – dave england

I’m not sure what’s more alarming about this photo: Jeff Tremaine’s post-modern fashion statement or the fact that some fool actually believed Dave England’s over-the-top antics with the bloody cell phone prank. Three little numbers later and it was all sirens, cops, and an ambulance for us. Oh my. And poor Dave, sitting there on the curb with crusty fake blood in his ear and an ill-fitting suit, hoping to hell that the police officer doesn’t take offense to the two Hollywood kooks standing before her and toss his stupid ass in the hoosegow. Anyway, on your walk through Portland today, you will no doubt stumble upon Pioneer Square: ground zero to the “Cell Phone,” “Poo Diaper,” “Human Tricycle,” and a few other things that fail to come to mind (perhaps because they failed to make it to TV) were committed to tape, circa 2000-2001.

jackass flashback – bucket cars

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.

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. No, not the bucket cars themselves—that was just another one of many ghetto creations to come from desperation runs through the hardware store—but the hospital aftermath that followed. For whatever reason, MTV allowed us to run the footage of Bam Margera’s X-rayed penis for all the world to critique—and they did! But you’ll find all that out and more as Trip Taylor, Michelle Klepper, Ryan Dunn, and Phil and April Margera break down the “Bucket Car” proceedings from nose to tail. (more…)

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**.
