1rd: Why the devil should choose snowboarding for his work

If you’ve been hanging in my immediate sphere, you’re gonnaknow I’ve been knuckle deep in a Faith No More kick lately. And naturally that spilled over into some Mr Bungle action. In fact i was out riding the bike over the weekend and I had this running through my head the whole time:

AND recently I was scoping out some Salomon boots and shrad decks and I stumbled upon this sweet rig:

Which is some Mr. Bungle shit going on.

In all actuality I don’t know where this art originated, but this is some shit-piss appropriation. There is no way this concept ran through more that 3 people without one of them saying “Oh, that’s some Mr. Bungle back cover shit.” Because people know this. It lives deep in the human subconscious. Like the need for water or a Lucky Strikes period.

Then because it’s snowboarding, they fucked it. Granted the Salomonder is cropped much closer, but they still completely eliminated the devil. Perhaps this is strictly a design issue, but I think it has a lot more to do with the pro-jesusness that is all over the snowboarding scene. Gross.

But yeah, Mr. Bungle. Righteous.

2rd: I bought a jump rope

I’ve been getting down with it. You know, double dutch.

3st: It was funny

Anna Faris was on SNL. I watched it. I laughed my ass off.

4rd Bikery

Shredded some bike trails this weekend. It was rad. Kept a healthy pace over 18 miles.  Bike bike season is winding down. Got the  winter bike in the basement waiting to get readied. I’ve got some wrenches to turn.

The choice has pretty much been made that I will be building a mountain bike this Spring. I’m kind of looking forward to the challenge, and the excuse to hang around bike shops more often.

I’m leaning towards a frame by Transition or Commencal. They appear to be legit bikes for the price. The Commencal seems like it could handle most of what Wisconsin could throw at it, but the Transistion seems a bit burlier. If you’ve got any insight into hardtail frames please let me know.

Most of the responses I got from people we pretty supportive. And a lot of people seem to think once you build a bike you never regret it. Apparently it’s like dating jewish girls, or buying a Mr. Bungle album.  You might not reference it everyday, but you cannot shake it.

Come to think of it, Faith No More’s Angel Dust album was killer as well. Plus you couldn’t even fuck with that album cover in 1992.

And now that you dwelt on that please get this. It’s the kind of shit that makes the Olympics great:
