Sam Devlin? >> Another Spike project. This one's a Bjork video. >> Whatever you do, if you live in the USA you should have the day off tomorrow.

After you win for being the best tricker, be sure to give at least a hundred of your tricky spoils to Metzger who organized the event. >> These guys are the bad guys. As are these guys. >>Don't have cable? Check out Spike's Ikea commercial here. Click on the TV set. >> SK8 ON THE WALL is one of those shows where everybody paints on skateboards.

Duh: RING RING RING. >> Hey, Gino's getting one of those Freshjive Seditionist dolls, like the York one. >> Lakai art director, Andy Mueller, has himself entered in some sort of calendar contest. Here is his entry. Cast your vote for Mueller by sending an e-mail here and you'll be his new best friend. >> Oops. Steve Caballero didn't say what we had quoted him as saying on Saturday. A Cab impostor shares a similar e-mail address as him and we thought it was the real Cab e-mailing us. Turns out it was a fake Cab from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Not kidding. >> Would buying Bam's car off of ebay be weird? >> Megan Baltimore, Girl Skateboards' matriarch, had a birthday party earlier this week in Torrance. Oh MAN, things just went all wrong and the paparazzi was there to capture it all: Rob Abeyta tried to steal somebody's baby, Larson threw down so many shakas it felt like Hawaii, Megan scared the crap (literally) out of Sean Cliver's lil' baby and Mike Leon got into a huge fight with Staci G after dinner. Better luck next year, Meg. At least you got the 4 wheeler you were hoping for. >> Somebody just sent us a press release that read "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Paul Rodriguez has been frequenting his backyard lately, where he set up a mini-skatepark consisting of two eight-foot flat bars and two seven-foot boxes.".

It's, like, about some dogs or something. >> Looks like the Extreme Games are coming to Staples Center in LA for 2003 and 2004. No joke.

Kinda like yesterday's Mike Leon Guest Randoms minus the flaking out and not doing it part... REMEMBER: Colby Carter? A1 Meats? .
PAST ENTRY>> >> People! Carl and I (Clive) have nothing today, so for one day only we bring you >> [This is where Michael was going to post his guest Randoms. He said he was going to put all kinds of stuff about the team up, then he said he was going to put something about every person who works at Girl instead, then he changed his mind one more time and said that he wanted to make up a bunch of fake quotes. In the end, he got all flustered and told us "I can't do this, it's too much pressure...I'm not even a writer.". Man, what a bummer. So... uh... instead of reading the guest Randoms, I guess you should just check out this interview with Michael. Tomorrow is a new day, folks.]
PAST ENTRY>> >> It's not haha-that-dude-hurt-himself funny like Jackass, but Adaptation hits theatres December 6th. Watch the trailer. >> It's catalog deadline time, but we've been doing some heavy target market and demographical sales speculations research projects here at the Tap and we've come to the conclusion that a lot of you, our readers, are hardcore Michael Jackson fans.

>> Did you shralp at a California skatepark yesterday? Cool. Now go back and shralp some more and thank Bill Morrow and the bill SB994 afterwards. Do you think it's easier to get a bill passed in the senate if your name is Bill? Hm. >> [insert obscure inside joke here] >> We finally got out and watched the Jackass movie and, damn, it's funny. Rolling around on the floor trying not to pee your pants funny, but you already knew that. >> Reality television report #10: KEEPIN' IT REAL. >> QUOTES OF THE DAY: "Dude, your Papa's a retard. Sorry." - Marc Johnson to his son

Give us another... um... couple of weeks or so and you'll be able to buy the entire line online for yourself or your girl or your mom, and there might even be a couple of Ruby items that fit dudes in there as well. >> We'll let this one speak for itself.

We'll be sitting at home where it's dry and warm playing THPS on our Playstations and Boardin' on our Ataris. >> Me and Bob K ran into a Rick McCrank lookalike while on tour. Isn't it funny how him and I never appear in the same photo? It's because one of us has to take the picture. Duh. >> Sign up for the electric car and sweater vest club: RING RING RING.
PAST ENTRY>> PAST ENTRY>> >> Look out for Paul Rodriguez 5's very soon. Remember Rick McCrank's 5's?

We liked that one. >> Danny Garcia came into Girl today and there was nobody here. Where the hell did everybody go? >> Smoking is not cool. Repeat: SMOKING IS NOT COOL. >> Have you seen the ON Video with the Crailtap segment in it yet? It's the issue with Brian Lotti on the cover and it should be out in shops by now. It's got an interview with Bob K before he grew all that hair on his head and on his face. We hardly recognized him in it. >> Dude, you forgot to go out and vote and NOW look at what happened! This is just fantastic. Wait... maybe you're like 14 or and you can't vote, or you live in Tibet and you have no right to vote. If you are either of those two things, then you're forgiven for not voting. >> No matter what happens, there will always be skateboarding.

PAST ENTRY>> PAST ENTRY>> >> So about that tour... uh, we kinda missed all of the scheduled dates except for the 26th so it looks like those re-imbursement forms are no good and we're gonna have to work off the per diem by cleaning Howard's fishtank for the next few months. Sorry people... we promise that the next Crailtap Super Eurotour will be much more exciting for you. >>MJ blowing smoke rings?: RING RING RING. >> The 92 year old dude who designed Love Park is cooler than your great grandfather.
