After about a half an hour of crying and whining, they had to take him to the hospital to get it surgically removed because he had stuck it so far up there that my uncle couldn't even get at it with a pair of needlenose pliers. Man, that would suck, huh?

Dear Friend,
Thank you for your letter supporting SB 994 (Morrow). SB 994 extends California's current law that protects public skateboard parks from liability for injuries that properly attired participants might sustain while using these parks. This bill passed the Senate with my support and is currently awaiting a hearing before the Assembly Judiciary Committee. Thank you again for writing my office.
Sincerely,
BYRON D. SHER
State Senator
, District 11.

Tomorrow we'll bring you an exclusive interview with professional NBA fan and game-sign maker, Ako Jefferson. Even though Ako has been seen with Hime, who was temporarily banned from Tha Tap awhile back, he's still an honest dude with some great advice for those attending professional sporting events.

>> Please refrain from using this internet-based Arnold Schwarzenegger emulator to prank call your friends, relatives, and total strangers. That type of behavior will get you grounded, mister.

YES.
And did he ever have the common courtesy to write you back?
HELL NO!
Sure he gives you presents and crap, but c'mon, dude... not even ONE short note saying that he got your letter? That's lame. If you're sick of being snubbed by The Big Guy, send some real mail to Clive. Letters, photos, books, ticket stubs, inventions, pocket lint... whatever. Just send him stuff in the real mail and he promises to return the favor with some real mail of his own. You never know what you might get if you send crap to:

Clive Noctchaw c/o Crailtap

>> FROM ARVEDIS:
" Hey Tappers and Tockers! Sorry about the small delay in reviews. It's been weird down here. The isolation plays tricks on a guy. The snow becomes your friend and your enemy. Is that someone walking towards me, or is that the same tree that's always been there? Or did that tree move? I swear that tree was a good 100 feet to the left just yesterday.
Anyway, I met someone. A chick. I jumped on a large skiff up to southern Uruguay to thaw out a bit. When I got there, a limo driver named La Encarnacion mistook me for her client and whisked me away. We were twenty minutes away from the harbor before she realized it, so we started talking and she rules. I'll try to get a photo for you guys. This marks the 40th review I've done so far. Keep sending links. I'll be back in the states soon. Maybe.
--A.T."

>> "When Peralta, one of the most financially successful Z-Boys, interviews Jay Adams, one of those who slid hardest, there's too much left unsaid between them, with suggestions of resentment in their every pause. Adams seems reticent to honestly speak his mind, not just about his own peccadilloes (he's currently on furlough for a Hawaiian drug conviction), but about the commercialization of Dogtown, while Peralta himself comes off as too defensive about his later success. Peralta didn't "sell out," but by dodging what really happened to his friends after the sponsors came calling, and by avoiding the larger issue of how big business (such as the film's own financier) peddles youth culture, he keeps the film needlessly and disappointingly soft. Peralta has said in interviews that Vans was hands-off when it came to content, and maybe that's true..."
