Neighbors were concerned he would spend the night digging through ditches and burning through witches in his Dragula.

Godddd

(my plan is to, very nonchalantly, get him to listen to my demo tape: "Psychofilly - A Red Hot Psychobilly Tribute to My Little Pony". If I ever happens, I'll film the reaction and post it to Youtube)

He hasn't had much of a market/presence since "Educated Horses".

Maybe it's Rob's way of announcing his retirement?

I hate to say it, but he should have quit the whole having-a-band business a decade ago, focused all his energy on drawing comic books and producing indie psychobilly bands. I've seen him live a few times, and each time it gets worse and worse. He has a neat stage show (sometimes) but his voice is shot; he sings worse than Phil Anselmo, maybe worse than Ozzy even. It's a huge letdown and I kinda wish I never saw him now.

Zombimandias, I guess.

Newscaster voices are way more irritating when they report on anything remotely niche/weird/not applying directly to the mummies that still watch local news. Their tone is so condescending because, to the banality of local newsteams, anything vaguely interesting sounds so impossibly foreign they have to....PAUSE dramatically...before saying, quote, the WORD "bummer." Like what kind of crazy weirdo says bummer!?!?!? Those Hollyweirdos!!!!!

But surely you agree that toddlers need a safe, kid-friendly environment in which to throw their rocks, yes? Would you rather they throw their rocks in the middle of a street?

I put the Woodbury kids' official response video in the hopper. They do have skateboards.

wow, what a miserable bunch of brats. fundraisers and overpaying for shit ramps is diametrically opposed to the DIY culture that skateboarding used to engender. and ironically, these pricey metal ramps are insanely louder than wooden ramps that you can make for a fraction of the cost. DRINK THEIR BLOOD, ROB!! DRINK THEIR BLOOD!!

That DIY culture of pro skate shops, clear channel band merch, and multimillion dollar city skate park projects?

Oh fart, yogarfield. These kids are too young to be well-informed hipsters, give 'em a break!

"used to". you know, the good old days. before the dew tour, energy drink sponsors, and nikes. the contest culture and the filming culture are worlds apart.

nothing wrong with a good shop though. in my city the bmx and skate dudes all get along pretty well, and work together to build our own spots in vacant lots around town. they usually get dozed after a 3-4 months, and then a new spot gets built elsewhere. we had one of these prefabs in a yuppy part of town, and in addition to its inherit shitness, there were also parents and children literally crawling all over the ramps, mountain bikes, scooters, and the dreaded "guys who are just chillin' at the park". one of the "just chillin'" guys ended up punching a cop and they removed all of the ramps. good riddance.

Do you know Tony Hawk? I've heard of Tony Hawk before.

haha yeah, he sucks a mean dick.

It's weird that you identify the skateboarders as the sellouts here.

I have fond memories of those days. I started at the end of asymmetric decks. I had a garage sale santa cruz with generic veriflex trucks.
Yogarfield is right though. You would raid construction sites for coping, 2x4s and masonite and build ramps in the abandoned tennis courts. In the mid 90s some 'skateparks' we drove out to were really just ancient bowls from the 70s slick with 20 years of graffiti.

Last time I was at a skatepark all the kids talked about was getting sponsored or 'flow', and filming each other.

Looks like Robs dogma just got hit by his karma. Listen to it howl!

She does have a pretty nice ass though.
