I was at the Brewers’ game on Tuesday night and people were asking  me about you. How did you manage to build a Brew City following?

For realz? I employ a series of doppelgangers who travel the world proselytizing the gospel of Hoon. Plus I use twitter
Truly it’s amazing.
I hear we’re big in liberia

 

What’s this shit about you hard-rockin’ the nike 6.0?

 You know how it is. they say, hey we’re targeting the mass youth with some sneakers and t-shirts. i say sweet. they say can you help us get the word out? i say how many free diecuts are in it for me.

But you’re 36?

hey now…. you’re not going to publish that… are you? my internet age is 16… or at least that’s what i tell the ladies on facespace. grom4lyfe

nike6.0 is trying to reach out to anyone who acts like their 16, even better if they’re trying so hard and they’re 42… i mean 36 with a huge fat wallet to buy this stuff on steepandcheap

My internet age is 112, so we’re cool.

oh nice. so we like cancel out.

 

You’ve got a Hoon jr. on the way. Any chance you’ll name the wee one Rumorator?

 Dude… you can’t let the cat out of the bag. if we have a girl it’s definitely named rumorator. if it’s a boy Shayboarder.

That kid will hate you!

sadly it probably will anyway. Mr. Bob Klein told me his kids think he isn’t cool. Bob friggin’ Klein, former Burton team rider and Agent to the snowboard olympic stars!
you don’t get much cooler than that.

 

What did you paint on your H1N1 outbreak mask?

mask what mask? what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. In all seriousness, i’ve got pink and brown polk dots with a neon green strap.

 

Art Spiegelman or Maurice Sendak?

Dude Art Spiegelman no doubt. Maus is the shit. plus he went to Binghamton University… Upstate!
f the nazis

 

What’s the deal with your decision to only wear One-Piecers?

no one’s asked me that before. the one piece is really a phenomenal invention. #1. it’s one piece of clothing. easy to carry. less decisions. #2. since it’s all one unit, you’re saving the environment as there’s less packaging, cut materials, buttons, zippers, etc. #3. wearing a one piece harkens you back to the good ol days of underroos and PJs with feet. #4. it makes it really easy for the doppelhangers to always coordinate with me across the globe via our iPhone 3G network. much harder to do that when we’re talking multiple pieces. #5 most importantly, it’s the only thing I can hoon for free

 

Favorite post riding beer?
