 ENTRY
#272THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2003 I wish Karl Malone was going camping, so to speak. I'm not going to do the Burt Reynolds thing anymore, it's too funny, so to speak. Grant Brittain sent Spike a big box of slides that were Spike's and there was a note in there saying that they were going to be paying Spike $1800 for some photos they used. I wonder if Grant knew that about a decade ago Spike sometimes used Transworld film for other projects if he would still feel like they owed Spike $1800. I think Spike owes Grant money for all that film that got used for other projects. Spike, would you like to tally it up or should I do it? So to speak. I tried to get some information together about the commercial that Pat Wilkins (younger brother of Kevin Wilkins) did for Dominoes Pizza and all I really got was a crazy detail of how he took the biggest crap of his life at the house where the commercial was shot. So to speak. Frosty found a camp spot where he can hang a flat screen so he's in. Buscemi was scrambling at the last minute for a Louis Vuitton beach towel but Megan came through with one for him so he's in. Ty got a flash light and a tent so he's in and Sam has some sort of futuristic beer bong. Camp Whatevs is about to set sail. So to speak. What's up with the Rick's? Rickk is writing down everything he eats and it's making him sort of sad, Rrick is getting ready to run naked down a beach with Tito and Rick has a tattoo of a monkey on his upper arm (in case you forgot). So to speak.
ENTRY #271 Knock Knock. We are sad to report that SPIKE JONZE PRESENTS BIRD'S BACKYARD RAMPS has gotten a big red cancel stamped on it. Spike was quoted as saying, "Bird is talented but his attitude does not allow me to move forward in a way that I feel creatively organic". I think what Spike was trying to say that Bird is a total dick and won't cooperate but I could be wrong. Harsh Hair Update: Eric Anthony looks like the Victor park bum might have given him the name of his stylist, Bob K still bowling, Mette needs to buy a comb and Jenkins seemed to tone down the "I'm hot but I'm married chick guy cut". Maserati update: Spike
feels like in addition to feeling like an asshole in the car, people
are now looking at him like he is an asshole. "They should at least
talk to me first before they just judge me". Such an innocent little
guy, just wants a chance. I guess poisonous blow darts aren't funny. Lots of things aren't funny. This column for starters. Just kidding, this column is funny. Burt Reynolds wrote
a book called MY LIFE. I'll treat you to a quote from the book now and
then and then I will comment on what I think he really means:
ENTRY #270 Karl Malone is pretty tall. Remember how I recommended
that you experience a broken water main in your production room just
for the smell? Well, it got me to doing some research and I found out
some pretty neat stuff about the different nouns, verbs and adjectives
related to smells depending if the smell is good or bad. For example,
the production room is giving off a smell (that is because it stinks).
On the other hand, Bob K's hair is giving off a scent (that is because
he uses hair care products that smell lovely). No Maserati updates. HARSH HAIR UPDATE: Spike has gone goth with a new black tint. Sprout feels like he should have highlighted his eyebrows but feels he still looks very sharp. Eric Anthony's pretty pony tint is starting to fade and that's about it on hair style changes. Guess who is back from Hawaii and has his shirt on? That's right, Ty's back, he left with a girlfriend and came back with a fiance. Congratulations Ty and Steph! Bird and Mikey are going to be snuggled on an air mattress on the beach in Pismo in about three days and Bobby Echo better call Hime for back up Von Zippers. Camp Whatevs sets sail in three days. We've had a locksmith
out to Girl twice in two days. Guess why and you win a big bag of old
keys.
ENTRY #269 Guess who has over
4,000 points just in play off games? How about if I give you his initials?
KM. Looks like Rick Raymond is going to be the lone Diarrhea Cupcake. Tito is back to updating his column as if his life depended on it. He's also building small fires which The Tap warns against but at least he's doing it in the Champagne lounge. If Tito wants to heat things up with a little fire in the back of the castle, it's his castle. Mikey got his bedset for the new estate. He bought it stock and is having an experienced carpenter come in and install an apple basket on the night stand. Yummy. Or maybe Yukky is what I meant. Spike checked in with
a Maserati update. He feels like the car is making him look like an
asshole when he drives it. He's sharp, that's why we keep him. Have you ever had a water main break in your production room? Seriously, you have to try it. The smell after two days of running heaters and humidifiers will give you so much head room for bad smells in the world. Did you know that true gangsta's don't go camping? Just ask Diamond Nick. SPIKE JONZE PRESENTS
BIRDS BACKYARD RAMPS is soaring. After Bird's trip to New Mexico where
a young boy was excited to show off a mini ramp he headed for a cement
park some kids built on their grandfather's land leaving the New Mexico
boy crying in a corner with something similar to Vietnam flash backs.
ENTRY #268 Have I told you that Karl Malone ranks #7 in the for free throws? I wonder where Shaq ranks. Probably a slight bit further down the list. Harsh correction! That room that I spoke about in Mikey's new love nest is not "peach". "The correct name of that room in my house is called apricot, it's a very light shade of apricot". I wonder if a rainbow flag will clash with that room. Harsh Hair Update! Normally when Jenkins Sr gets a hair cut, the next time we see Emmet, he has gotten a hair cut as well. But Jenkins got a sort of slick back chick guy cut and when Emmet showed up yesterday he still had that cute little over grown bowl cut. Wait a minute....would the Jenkins let Bobby Echo babysit? We're working on the
most spectacular event ever, a January open house for all the shops
and distributors that we love so much. (And of course cutting edge reporters
that drop by quoting numbers that they heard were owed to people). Camp Whatevs is setting sail in just one week. With a unicorn tent, I think it is safe to say that Bobby Echo will be getting all the chicks and The Spascalade is so last year.
ENTRY #267 I'm having a Karl Malone contest. Not really. Little Bobby Bowl Cut bought a new tent for Camp Whatevs and he is going to be bunking with Tito. Tito has promised good times, sad songs and much nudity. Spike wanted everyone to know that "keeping busy is good". Not sure if he came up with that himself or if he heard it at one of the many motivational weekends he indulges in. He is currently testing the waters of an image change to a "greasey director" by driving around in a borrowed Maserati. Seriously. Bird lost ten pounds on a new diet he calls "it went in as steak and came out my mouth and butt all night". It only takes one day so that's pretty awesome results. The Mez has let us know that the funnest part of his job is when he has to explain articles to people so they are not mad at him. We're not mad at The Mez, we're just jealous. Brian Anderson, missing. Gino Ianucci, sleeping. Tito told us that he attended some wild dinner parties at Richy Mulders. I guess our invites got lost in the mail. The Gav is on his way to lovely Hawaii where Ty is currently cruising around with out a shirt on.
ENTRY #266 Did I already tell you that Karl Malone graduated from Louisiana Tech? Did I already tell you that he was the MVP of the 1989 All Star Game? It's hard to keep track of all the information I provide in this column, truly. Harsh Hair Update: Bob K is now known as "Bobby Bowl Cut", Eric Anthony is now known as "Annie" and Rob Abeyta is going to be rocking some styles he spotted in Italy last summer. Sometimes we don't
just do our job, we help other people do theirs. We made this list to
help Skateboarder Magazine not so crazy at the next deadline. The pilot for SPIKE
JONZE PRESENTS BIRDS BACKYARD RAMPS is off to a fine start. Bird is
leaving for New Mexico tomorrow where a 10 year old skater built his
own mini ramp. Crisis counselors are standing by and Bird is going to
start drinking beer right when he wakes up. Mikey's house is done
being painted and some of his friends are a bit divided on the peach
room. (Not peach, the fruit. Peach, the color). Lee thinks the room
is "gay" and Scott thinks the room is "terrific". Mikey tends to agree
with Scott and also added, he doesn't care what anyone has to say about
his house. Sure, that's why the dining room isn't "antiqued". I'm still worried about that bear that the good folks in Missoula managed to launch into the air about 60 feet. I wonder if he liked the way he felt when they tranquilized him. Maybe he was all relaxed thinking, "I don't have to worry about going to catch Salmon, I'm so calm. I feel like I took a muscle relaxer and had some wine...". Sorry, I think I became the bear for a minute. Tito and Rick Raymond will not skate tomorrow to honor the break up of Ben and Jen. There will also be a moment of silence from the entire Girl and Chocolate family at 4:03 AM to show the pain we feel at their loss. Emmet Jenkins will be getting a drivers license about a decade before most people normally do. The DMV feels like he's ahead of his time and when you think about most people that drive, the kid's ready. Look for a four foot dude in a Laker jersey in a green mini van on the 110.
ENTRY #265 Remember The Glove
fun fact I promised? Well, here it is: Word on the street
is that a certain Von Zipper rep is tan and buffed and may possibly
be the next Tiger Woods. What's up with The Rick's? Rrick is on the wagon, Rickk gave Freddie vs. Jason one thumb up and Rick better call us or we're not going to help him set up his tent at Camp Whatevs, The Sequel. No need to keep flooding
me with entries for CLEAN UP OR GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN, Andrew Barkan
has won that contest in a very big way. Ty leaves for vacation tomorrow which means another whole week of Ty without a shirt on.
ENTRY #264 Johnny Cash, Rest in Peace.
ENTRY #263 Bob K. The Glove fun facts coming soon! Carnahan (as we now call him because he surfs) thought he saw a shark this morning but it turns out it was a "huge fucking dolphin". Just a shout out to
any forest rangers that check this column. If bears get stuck in trees,
you don't have to sedate them and then try and get them to fall out
of the tree on to a trampoline. They're bears, they'll figure shit out
without you getting involved. The CLEAN UP OR GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN contest was meant for NEW and UNUSED cleaning items. Someone from The OC didn't have that part of the contest very clear in their mind and they sent me some sort of soiled lysol rag. Send that stuff to Clive and get a patch. Bird started a band called SWEATPANT KNICKERS. Don't have any idea where the name came from but the guy is random.
ENTRY #262 Mike and Rick are on the couch right now eating Swedish Fish together. They're special.
ENTRY #261 Do you know what Karl Malone's nickname would be in Spanish? El Cartero. I read in the paper that in a prison in Maine, some of the inmate cooks, put human poop in a big pot of chili that they made for the other prisoners. That's a pretty mean joke. That might be right up there with the time that Rickk fired the Girl delivery person on April Fool's Day. But back to the chili, wouldn't you notice it was poop by the smell? And isn't the consistency of poop different then that of ground beef? Maybe I've been a vegetarian for too long but it seems different. I'm thinking about changing the name of this column to ALL SKATE ALL THE TIME. Let me know if you agree. Watch how live this
column is, I am going to go ask Mikey a question and then come back
and tell you what he said. Hold please. I ordered a "Laker
Fan Starter Kit" for Sal on the internet and I guess I punched in the
wrong information and the package came to me. So I started looking at
it and it seemed really cool and I already wore the t-shirt. Clive got so much
cool stuff that I decided to hold a contest in this column. Send me
the coolest cleaning supplies you can find (the 409 wipes are off the
hook). The coolest product I receive gets a free skateboard deck.
ENTRY #260 Yesterday I was telling someone a story and I said "Karl Malone" when I meant to say "Kylie Minogue". Isn't that funny? Are things still funny when you have to check and see if they're funny? They are, right? Not sure what happened on the Hot Chocolate Tour but Chico only speaks in free style rap now. We'll keep you posted. Oh, and Gino is still sleeping. A lot of you have been wondering what is up with Mikey. Well, the hardwood floors in his house are done and they look pretty good but he noticed that his floors are at a slant. I told him not to worry but be prepared to roll the direction of the slant in the event of an earthquake. How is my glass always half full? What's up with The Andy's? Andy Jenkins is now claiming he's ready to get into The Bling of it all, Andy Mueller went to a wedding in NY with Sprout and Andy Warhol should have used more conditioner in his hair, it always looked dry. Ever worked at a day care center? Pretty fun stuff.
ENTRY #259 Karl Malone. You know that Merle
Haggard song that goes "Here I am again mixing misery with gin"? I always
would think he should mix the gin with club soda or something but now
that I really think about it, straight gin would be better to mix the
misery with because it speeds up the process of erasing the misery.
Unless you're under 21, then you should just mix the misery with Gatorade.
Back to Emmet Jenkins for a moment, on a recent trip to Disneyland Emmet asked Megan if you can die on any of the rides to which Megan assured him "of course not". Well, spoke a little too soon. The Thunder Mountain ride had a car derail today and one person was killed. Looks like Emmet goes to Sea World for his next birthday outing with Megan and he's not even feeding the seals. Spike and Ty are sleeping in all the time on The Hot Chocolate Tour. There is no "I" in lazy. It's always the same two people holding us back. Gino is sleeping in too but I didn't think it was worth mentioning because it has been so long since we have seen him awake. I guess the Chocolate team has established a system where they just check him for a heart beat every 30 minutes. So far, no problems. I'm not sure if the photo The Gav sent me of him wake boarding was a press release so I'll wait to talk about that.
ENTRY #258 Karl Malone is pretty tall. What's up with the Bob's? Bob K has one good idea and a shit load of bad ones, Bob Barker likes to point a microphone in people's faces and Bob Dole is probably picking up some duds at "Suits for Less". Things are really starting to unravel here. It turns out not only was the lovely and talented Kenny Anderson in a break dance crew, they sometimes called him "Little Skittles". That's almost as bad as Rickk tagging with the name Trick Rick A La Rock. (I wonder if that was supposed to be a secret, that would suck for Rickk. If it was, I'll just wait a few weeks and post that it was a lie). I'm sure both these little pieces of trivia are nothing compared to the nuggets we could gather on diamond Nick. I think Carl Sanger is making it look like we're smart. No typo's, big scary subjects, bright opinions. Um, Carl, it's The Tap. Let's keep it real. Last night this kid came to my door selling candy bars. I happened to have a Chocolate t-shirt on and he goes, "well it looks like I knocked on the right door". You know what's weird? It wasn't funny then either. We're re-pitching "Bird's Backyard Ramps" next week with one small change. It is now called "SPIKE JONZE presents Bird's Backyard Ramps".
ENTRY #257 One time in an all star game, a certain friend of ours had a .542% field goal percentage. Nice work, Karl. One time in the basketball league that Rick, Frosty, Bird, Gavin, Tremaine and others played in, they had a .001% field goal percentage. I like how they all talk about how Tremaine was the dead weight on that team. Until he's having a good party or something, they they have to pretend like it was Bird or someone that was dragging the team down. I don't have all the details on this, but Scott Johnston had a seven foot angel in his bed the other night. Something about that seems weird. I thought angels were little? Rickk has hot buttered
knifed another victim. While lost in a serious dance session with Spike
Jonze, Rickk lifted him into the air and almost cut his throat open
with a suspension cable. One half of The Wind
Beneath Our Wings came home and the other half is still mad for being
called a Poop Cake. He better get over it or I'm not drinking wine with
him this year at the Christmas party.
ENTRY #256 Did you know that Karl Malone has a career high in offensive rebounds totaling 11 vs. Golden State? It's totally true. I am looking for a friend to watch ALL MY CHILDREN with me every day. I mean, you don't have to watch it with me because I probably don't want to hang out with you anyway but you would watch it each day and I would too and then we would e-mail each other about it. We need to get your opinion on something. Rick Howard has been called Skittles because he took his bottom teeth out eating them but now Kenny has stepped up to the plate with the info in his breaking crew that were called the Rock Skittles Posse or something. The first person to send the best reason why RIck or Kenny should be SKITTLES gets a signed Andy Jenkins Ruby notebook, a Mike Carroll Ruby vitamin box and a t-shirt. Send the entries! So tired, too many bloody mary's.
ENTRY #255 Did you know that
one time Karl Malone got 61 points in a game? He did. It's his career
high and it was against The Bucks in 1990. I could probably get 61 points
against The Bucks. Who misses Mikey?
Me too. Today he called me to ask me if you have to buy all the same
name brand appliances. Like if you buy a Kenmore dishwasher do you have
to buy a Kenmore trash compactor. I have to go do some stuff. Seriously.
ENTRY #254 Guess who was a First Team selection in the NBA 11 times?
ENTRY #253 What was the question? Oh, you want to know what Karl Malones field goal percentage was in 1985? It was 49%, thanks for asking. I like talking about Karl Malone, it makes me feel not so Malonely. This column is so weak, it's actually a month. Mikey had his cell phone off all day yesterday. It was sad. Whenever I would call him to ask him a bunch of questions, it went right to voice mail. I couldn't remember which year he was SOTY and I wanted to ask him but couldn't get a hold of him. Have you ever walked into a party like you were walking on to a yacht? The pilot we pitched for "Bird's Backyard Ramps" got denied. Bob K said it would blow Crail Tap up and we would get too commercial and Bird wouldn't be cool anymore. So if you need any Lakai's, call Bird, he still works there. What's up with the Gregs? Greg Carroll is regulating, Greg Louganis likes to do the back stroke and Gregory Peck made some cool movies. Sorry for that stuff I wrote about the twins in India without a butt I just was pointing out that that would be a huge bummer. If you were born without a butt you could get a personalized license plate that said ASSHOLNT. But I think you would have to get a butt to drive so by the time you owned a car that wouldn't work. Maybe you could get a charm bracelet that had "ANDS" and "IFS" and then.......sorry. Really, this time I mean it.
ENTRY #252 1/2 Man, I haven't been
able to work or think or sleep ever since I realized that I bummed Tito
and Rick Raymond out so hard by calling them the Diarrhea Cupcakes.
I just wanted them to update their column. Well, we held a meeting with
a focus group to try and come up with a name for the two of them that
would motivate them and tell them "we love you for who you are and who
you are is pretty darn special". I can't take credit for it because
Jenkins assembled the focus group but from this day forward, Tito and
Mr. Raymond are simply known as THE WIND BENEATH OUR WINGS.
ENTRY #252 Were 1996 and 1997 very special years for you? Well, they would have been if you were Karl Malone because you would have been MVP of the NBA two years in a row. But you're not Karl Malone. Only Karl Malone is Karl Malone. I got an anonymous
e-mail from someone saying that something we did recently was the stupidest
thing they'd ever heard of. Look at the following list of some things
that we have done in the past and see if you change your mind: If anyone likes honey in their tea, might want to head over to The Carroll Manor. The lucky fella has a bee hive in the crawl space under his house. Speaking of luck, did you hear about those conjoined twins born in India without a butt? It's true. They can't feed them because they don't have a butt. Not sure how this is relevant on this site other then the fact that The Tap staff thinks it would suck to not have a butt. You have to have a butt, right? I mean medically as well as socially speaking, butts are necessary. I spoke to Frosty a little while ago and is it me or is it very difficult to tell whether he's thinking, "yes, this all makes sense" or "how long until I can press END on this cell phone and get the hell out of this call"? Not just me? Good to know. I wonder if The Meza's (or "Daaron" as the priest called them in the wedding ceremony) have stomach aches from all those virgin Pina Colada's. You're not banned Aaron, call us, we miss you.
ENTRY #251 What's up with The Karl's? Carl Sanger got a column on Crail and is going to update it regularly and Karl Malone doesn't have a column but he did have his career high in defensive rebounds in December of 2002 in a game against The Lakers. And now he is a Laker. So weird how everything is so connected. After a long weekend of celebrating his birthday, Mikey relaxed today at a spa in Malibu. We'll never be hard core with him going to spa's and Frosty being so clean cut. I guess it helps that Rickk stole a boat one time but then he wears those button down plaids that sort of say, "don't be afraid of me, I'm nice". Then you have The Carroll Brothers joined by Nick, Bird and The Gav playing volleyball at the beach this past weekend... we're soft. Speaking of soft, Spike tried to say (without laughing) that he was going to "tear someone a new asshole". Yeah, that will happen. We never thought this could be possible but Bird and Ty are neck and neck for taking their shirts off this summer. Huge difference is that Ty manages to not do it in night clubs on the dance floor. Actually not so neck and neck. Sorry Ty, totally different. Harsh Hair Update: Everyone at Girl is pretty much sticking with their usual style. Peter and Greg seem to be going heavy on the grease but other then that no big changes. Check back though, we keep this very current. If you get a chance, you might want to rent Grease. I watched it last night and there are so many good parts that I forgot about.
ENTRY #250 Let's get the Karl Malone thing out of the way so we can get straight to the apology. The Mailman's Laker number is 32 which turned around is 23 and that is today's date. That was easy. Big apologies to the
artists formerly known as the Diarrhea Cupcakes. I thought Tito and
Mr. Raymond would read what I had written and realize I was trying to
teach them to follow through with what they start. But that isn't how
they took it at all. I don't even think they saw the part about "cuddling
their column as if it was a small kitten". Sorry fellas, sometimes my
tough love approach is a little too tough. But when the going gets tough,
the tough get going and that's just what you guys did.
ENTRY #249 "What are you going to do when you run out of Karl Malone fun facts?". Like that's possible. And even if I did I would just start posting things like his weight. He weighs 256 pounds. But I can make that into a fun fact. That was the average weight of the bouncers in France that beat Mikey's ass. Now who's having fun? Looks like we got some bites on "Kelly Bird's Barkyard Ramps". We have to work through some of the legal issues but this thing is on. We were doing some test marketing and we had someone dress up as Kelly and tell an eight year old that the mini ramp he built was a "total fucking joke" and the kid has been curled up in a ball crying for three days. We can't be responsible for stuff like that so looks like a few waivers here and there might be necessary. If The Gav, Megan and Buscemi aren't there, is it still The Stopper? More like The Door Stopper. What's up with The Andy's? Mueller just whipped the life out of Peter at ping pong and Jenkins is walking around with a bag of food from In 'N Out. Harshest Hair Update: Looks like Eric Anthony hung out with Liz Taylor and decided he liked her hair style. I wonder what the Diarrhea Cupcakes are doing on the road. Probably not worrying about where an internet cafe is so they can update their OLD columns. Ever do a fanny pack
count when you're just kicking back at Disneyland? And no on wears them
on their fanny, they wear them right below their cheesecake gut (females)
and beer guts (male). Pretty nice little fashion statement.
ENTRY #248 Peter Sullivan of Canadian Supra fame called today anxious to know what to celebrate in honor of Karl Malone on the 21st of August. Silly Pete! Celebrate all of August because that is the month that Karl was first a part of the NBA as he signed with The Jazz on the 8th of August in 1985. He probably never dreamed in all of his wildest fantasies that he would one day be on an open air bus in the 2003/2004 Laker Championship Parade as a proud Laker. One time in 3rd grade,
Jill (we won't say her last name), who was in my class brought in cupcakes
for everyone to celebrate her birthday. The next day a bunch of kids
were absent because they had violent diarrhea. The school then announced
that we would not be able to bring treats in for birthdays anymore.
The Awesome Audi is insane in the dirt! We took Scott's car out to the desert last night and went off roading, we thought we were in a 4 Wheel Drive military vehicle. Good thing Scott left it here. On the correction
tip, Mikey thought that I was calling him "dumb" when I made reference
to what he might be up to at the Playboy Mansion. I guess he is the
only one in our circle of friends that isn't aware of that "cute/dumb
act" he pulls out when the chicks are around and the night is growing
old. We're pitching our idea for a TV show called "Bird's Backyard Ramps". Basically Bird shows up at different kids houses all over the world, checks out what they skate and then ridicules them for being so lame. Seems negative but we think it will really prepare kids for the real world. What's up with the Scott's? Scott J is on the Hot Chocolate Tour, Scott Peterson is in jail after being accused of murder and "Great Scott" is the British equivalent of "What the Fuck"?
ENTRY #247 What's today and why is it special? Karl Malone, of course. Today is the 20th and Mr. Malone averages 20 points per game. (Actually it's 20.6 but it screws up my column if I try and work that into it). What's up with the Rick's? Rickk and Rrick are currently in the same van somewhere in Colorado. (If you read that sentence again, makes it seem like they did something really bad and are running from the cops). And Rick? He's on a scavenger hunt with Frosty and some other Es folk. That e-mail from "Julie in Boston" regarding my small mind due to the fact that I only reference John Travolta movies? Check the archives, Jules! If you do, I think you'll see that I saw all three Mighty Ducks movies! Pay attention before you insinuate I'm dumb. The guys in the warehouse
cannot believe how well Scott Johnston's car handles sharp turns and
pot holes. Eric Anthony and Tony Larson just had their regular Cancer Meeting at the back of the warehouse. They both look so cute with those cigarette stained fingers. We have good medical insurance so smoke away! Rad Brad is now on the Hot Chocolate Tour so Spike had to fly home. Too many celebrities in one van!
ENTRY #246 There was another
typo in my column so I punished us all by not posting anything for a
few days. It was sad. Mueller is at a three day bachelor party that he has been sworn into secrecy about. He is not allowed to tell anyone what he sees at the party and the required dress is "business casual"? Seems normal. One of The Carroll Brothers is about to have a birthday... the one that looks like a bear cub on a trampoline with two bunnies... The X-Games after
party at Spike's tonight is going to be SO HOT! WE have Jell-o shots,
a swimming pool and trampolines. I think Spike will be stoked that we
posted it up here on Crail so he doesn't just hear about it on the streets
second hand and bum out. Want to be in an art show?
ENTRY #245 I didn't update my
column yesterday because I was so mad at myself for screwing up the
"What's up with The Ricks" section. I put Rickk or RRick twice so there
was not way for anyone to truly know what Rick Raymond and Rick Howard
were up to. Obviously Rick McCrank was correct but I really messed up.
I would like to say that I bet Karl Malone is smart enough to trademark his corporation.
ENTRY #244 Guess what today is? The 13th, fool. And why is that another special Karl Malone day? Because he ranks 13th in most points per game overall in the NBA (27.3). I think it's safe to say there's always an open seat at the awesome table for Karl. In fact, I think it is also safe to say that Sal Barbier would give up his seat at the awesome table if Karl needed to sit down. Do you know the difference between a $400 microphone and an $1100 microphone? Spike does but it's too complex for mere mortals like you and I to grasp. Gino is so straight edge now that he can get hammered from a Baileys Chocolate shake. Pretty cool. As I write this, Mikey is somewhere in the Playboy mansion drunk saying cute things to Playboy bunnies that probably are asking themselves: Is he dumber then we are or is that just an act? It's just an act but if you had any idea how effective that retarded attempt at seeming like he's some sort of small fluffy animal has worked over the years, you'd gag. Ty's pissed. After only a brief
visit, we are offering Buscemi back to his friends in the east. He doesn't
know "Kobe Etiquette" so we need to shake him now before he gets comfortable.
We don't want anything in trade, just take the little traitor off our
hands. Oh and Knicks fans, if the entire Laker team was in jail for
the season, you still couldn't make the playoffs. Cheer for The Mets
or The Yankees or some team that doesn't make you sad you're from NY. What about in Grease when John Travolta runs into Sandy after thinking she went back home after summer and they start singing Summer Lovin'? How much do you love that scene? Not so much. What's up with The Ricks? Rrick is probably within three days of an illegal fireworks ticket, Rick is enjoying spring in the North and Rrick is kickin' back with a Bud Light and some good friends.
ENTRY #243 A little bird told
me that a big mean angry Bird doesn't like my Karl Malone fun facts.
Care. Someone sent me an angry e-mail that included the line, "you don't know shit about cinema". If I didn't know shit about cinema then how would I know that John Travolta was awesome in Face Off? Gotcha! What's up with The Ricks? Rickk is at Starbucks where he cracks himself up by telling them his name is Cory, Rick is still just being that model citizen in Vancouver and Rrick better have a really good excuse for letting his column go to hell in a neat little hand basket. Marc J might have smoked a cigarette before he got to Girl just now. He doesn't like stalkers, Megan's crownfarmer t-shirt and long lines at Home Depot. He does like coffee, walks on the beach and airplane flights where people don't cough their germs everywhere. I checked to see what the deal was on the bunny trademarks. You can use a picture of a bunny but you can't use the likeness of The Energizer Bunny. I am not sure why I am calling them bunnies and not rabbits. It's weird, I start to write this column and then I just drift. Just now I was thinking about cream cheese and bagels and also about this park in San Francisco. I wonder if I have some sort of attention disease. I guess you can't die from not being able to pay attention, right? Or Rickk would have been history years ago. What was I even saying? Maybe Transworld was right and Crail serves no purpose. No, that isn't possible, we're too valuable. I mean you can't go to any other site and find out where McCrank is, you have to come here. You could maybe call SoleTech and they would tell you when he would be on tour but we tell you exactly what he's up to.
ENTRY #242 Another special Karl
Malone day? How could that be possible? I'll tell you how, when you're
a Laker, everyday feels like a special treat wrapped in taffy. Today
is the 11th and that is special because Karl Malone ranks 11th in the
NBA league for steals per game. If you don't want to wet the bed, then you shouldn't drink three hours before going to bed. At least that is what the trainer taught Chick. Next, Chick is going to go to kick boxing and maybe Blue will find out what it feels like to get his ass beat. I guess Megan's twin sister may have cursed out the Carroll Brothers over the weekend. Megan wanted to apologize on her behalf, that twin is a total bitch. Guess who's about to be a So Cali local? Buscemi! That's right, we wanted him on this coast so we got him. We have a few people we are willing to send east in trade so let us know if you're interested. What's up with The Ricks? Rickk is skating for one hour in the Girl Park, Rick is in Vancouver being a model citizen and Rrick better be settling down to his computer to write a column. Bob K said that bunnies belong to everyone and other people feel like the bunnies are the property of other people. What I'm trying to say is... remember in Phenomenon when John Travolta wanted to get the bunnies out of his yard and he devised a system? Me, too.
ENTRY #241 Today is the 10th and do you know why that is special? Because Karl Malone is ranked 10th among NBA players to make the most free throws in 48 minutes. I like special days. Although he was once a cult leader and is now banned from The Tap, The Mez knows how to put together an awesome seating arrangement. Props to The Meza's for that as well as deciding to go forward in wedded bliss known simply as "Daaron". Remember in Phenomenon when John Travolta goes back to the bar after all that weird shit happened with the lightning and his old bar buddies vibed him? That would suck, right? I mean you realize you have these powers and then you think you'll chill with your bros and use them and they all just dis you. Lame. I'm tired, this column will rip tomorrow.
ENTRY #240 Guess what we would be doing if it was July 24th? We would be having a party with cupcakes for Karl Malone's birthday! Harsh Hair Update: Atiba is rocking something in between dread locks and a homeless guy, Frosty has split ends, Greg only washes his hair once a week and uses a lighter wax then he used to and Mikey's still rocking that guy you always see off to the side of the shot on a porno set. Colors have been chosen
for paint as well as the wood color for Mikey's floors. He has still
not decided what to do with the landscape so he is still overwhelmed
until the early part of next year. Someone went pee on Spike's shoes on Tuesday. I know a lot of you have still not rented or purchased the classic, PHENOMENON. What are you waiting for? This is John Travolta's best work (if you don't include Grease) and the earthquake scene is breathtaking. Go get it, i wouldn't steer you wrong. I'm going to go now, Bob K has taken the next month off so I have to go steal shit out of his office. I hope he still has that special Travis Pastrana doll.
ENTRY #239 A Karl Malone fun fact? Why not? The most minutes The Mailman ever played in a game was in February of 1992 against the Bulls. He played 57 minutes. Pretty awesome, right? "What's up with The Rickks" has a new Rick in it and that would be Rick Raymond. Howard is spelled RICKK, McCrank is spelled RICK and Raymond is spelled RRICK. I don't know what is up with Rickk and Rick but Rrick seems to be hanging out with Mr. Larue a little too much. Let's get that column updated, who do you think you are? Mikey? Holy paint chip! Mikey
had so many shades of eggshell/white/light grey on little squares of
paper yesterday that I am now color blind. Everything I look at just
seems to be some sort of beige. That could be the name of an emo band,
Some Sort of Beige. Or maybe not. Just out of the clear blue, Lee Dupont asked us to fire Ty Evans, Andy Jenkins, Rick Howard and he would like us to shake Frosty. He's a mean person. Must be from hating the Lakers for so many years. I would like to recommend that people rent the great film epic, PHENOMENON. It has a great message. Well, maybe there is no message. I'm not sure, I think the message is "if your friends have psychic power, be cool to them".
ENTRY #238 Remember when The Jazz got eliminated last year and Karl Malone cried? That was sad. Sometimes I just post things up here that are sad. I wonder if after Bird saw Karl cry, that he posted it up on his website with some funny caption like, "oh, I guess the mailman got soap in his eye". Probably. Buscemi is trying to step in with "i have the cutest dog" crap. Jon, didn't we already go down this road with Bones and Blue (who likes to make sure the other dogs he plays with get something amputated)? Chick is the cutest dog and for god sake, he just got his toe amputated, how about a grace period before you talk shit on the poor guy? What's up with the Ricks? Rickk is recovering from a harsh weekend trying to fit in at the US Open in HB and Rick has no idea that DVS had a slip and slide at the contest for all the hot young ladies to slide down. I might be going out on a limb here but I just don't see McCrank cheering on girls as they slide down a slip and slide in a bikini. When we were little and my mom used to say "get your rear in gear" we would always say back, really quiet so she couldn't hear us "or get your butt checked". I'm just trying to illustrate the fact that I have had this knack for humor for decades, I was born with it I guess. Mikey was faced with
a small issue of the tile on the fireplace being the same as the tile
on the walkway up to his house. He hasn't mentioned it until Friday
so he either decided it wasn't weird or is still waiting on the answer
from the 64 people he runs each decorating idea by.
ENTRY #237 Karl Malone? Yes, he's my favorite Laker. Lee Dupont? Same deal. We will soon be posting a graph and chart to show you that Bob K and Megan are in the lead. Didn't get a chance to talk color chips with Mikey today or tell him that I found him a mail order bride. The bride is Romanian, not so cute but he's not picky. She wants to "serve an American man and make his dreams come true". Bingo, married! I have to think of a way to break it to The Mezas that they are walking down the aisle with another couple. I think Aaron will be down but Diana may need some persuading. Oh well, we'll worry about that next weekend. And when you think about it, what's the big deal with sharing the aisle? Diana better not trip, we're all bros. Did you hear about the special club that only Staba, Jenkins and Lewman are members of? So special and secretive and prestigious and all kinds of other fake shit that makes you think you matter. Stay tuned. There may be an Abeyta "we're jumping you in, bitch" ceremony just around the corner. Is it safe to say
that Phenomenon is the best movie ever made? Cool. How awesome is the
part where he is dealing with the rabbits? Rabbits are cool. Ruby has
a rabbit t-shirt or maybe even a sticker coming out that Bob K did.
He's cutting edge, did you get that memo? We thought we couldn't use
the rabbit but we can... I'll stop now before Bob sends me an e-mail
that says, "check out who's pissed off at us....". Those are funny.
Harsh Spike Update: Spike has recently crashed a car in Spain that he offered to pay the damage on and he has also put it out there that if Megan does not go on a solo week long vacation, he is going to punch her in both eyes. We'll sue him for both so watch your back, Spiegel.
ENTRY #236 I love Karl Malone. He's my new favorite Laker. That's right. I have a good plan in the event that I am on an airplane that gets high jacked. I'm going to take my sock off and put all the coins I have in it and then I am going to encourage all the other passengers to do the same. The only problem is that I have the courage of a two day old lamb so by the time I even realize the plane is getting high jacked, I'll already be dead from a heart attack. Feel free to use my plan, though. No charge. Mikey's home purchase took a sharp turn down panic road yesterday. He was all ready to "antique" one of the walls in the house when Megan informed him that in some circles, this is considered tacky. We haven't seen him in about 12 hours so if you see a guy with a paint chip book on a bridge, call us so we can talk him down. It's Bird's Birthday today. Cool. Remember in "Field of Dreams" in the last scene where they are playing catch and it's all sad? That was sad. Harsh Hair Update: Mikey has let his hair grow out and he looks like the one guy from Blue Oyster Cult, Greg is still all slicked and oiled each day, Megan cut 5 inches off her hair and only Chuck noticed and Nick still looks like he sprayed his on. Frosty is in hard training for the X-Games. He's going out every night, staying up late, eating junk food, drinking coffee. Pretty much all the things that he does before a big win.
ENTRY #235 Lakers have Horace Grant now. Mark Madsen is on the Timberwolves and that is why I don't need to update this column.
ENTRY #234 Means nothing to hardly
anyone but it is a date that sticks with me. Doesn't really matter why,
we all have them. Just a particular day that stays with you. Not like
your birthday, different. Maybe better, maybe worse. As my mom used
to say, "don't mark your calendar, your memory will be offended".
ENTRY #233 There was a big party
last night welcoming The Glove and The Mailman to The Lakers. It looked
fun. Mikey's hair is really growing but girls don't like Mikey as much as they used to so he may have to pay for a haircut. Lame. Maybe Frosty can show him how to style it. I think Mikey's hair needs to be layered so it flows nicer. Mikey is not buying CD's anymore, "music sucks". Mikey is not buying shoe's anymore, "shoes pretty much suck". Mikey's rad.
ENTRY #232 Not sure if The Glove reads this column but if he does and he still has not found a place to live, he can move in. I have to move out because Phish fans moved in upstairs and I can't take it anymore. Gary, the place is right on the beach and you can see dolphins every morning. Let me know. Blue is no longer named Pooh. He bought a gift for Chick and made Chick a card so things are cool now. Poor Blue, every one thinks he's a big bully at 5 pounds. The Gav is at Boomers Family Fun Center. Our bet is that he's doing some sort of water gun arcade game. What's yours? What's up with The Rick's? Rickk is really sweaty in the Girl park right now and Rick wishes he was sweaty but not in the Girl park. Rick likes the way sweat makes his tan look. I think that Guess Who song, NO TIME, is sort of stupid. It's a long story or I would tell you. I like when people say "But to make a long story short..." and then someone cuts in and goes "too late". I guess I like when people are mean to people. That can't be a good trait. Kenny Anderson was here with a whole film crew. Then our CPA showed up and that's also a long story. And stupid too. I wonder if I should change the name of this column to LONG AND STUPID...hmm. This is real this time. Remember that time I was making shit up that Mike and Rick said about each other just to get them in a fight? That was awesome but this really happened: Mike was going over the same point a million times so Rick was like "over you, dude" and hung up and then asked me if I would call Mikey and speak to him as if he was a child and so I called Mike and he was doing the same thing so I said "I can't deal with you" and hung up on him. Then Rick called me and we both agreed Mikey is fucking annoying. But he's cool to hang around.
ENTRY #231 I wonder where Karl Malone is going to live when he plays for The Lakers. Probably Fontana. Or maybe Norco. Lovely cities, both of them. The Podium sales meeting is underway right now in lovely Santa Ana. I wonder how many times Mikey rolled his eyes before lunch time. E-mail sucks sometimes because when people irritate you, it's hard to let them know when you e-mail back. Greg Carroll makes things in big bold letters when he's pissed or trying to get a point across but just plain irritation would be a little different. That could be a cool added feature to an e-mail, right below SUBJECT it could say MOOD. Forget it, that idea sucks. I have so many bad ideas I can't sleep at night. (That is only funny to Jenkins but if you think about it, usually this column is funny to no one so I'm up). What's up with the Ricks? Rickk is at the Podium sales meeting and Rick wishes he was at the Podium sales meeting. He loves meetings, Podium and Santa Ana so he'd be in heaven but he wasn't invited so he's bumming. Larson is smoking again. Loser. He said, "I smoke about 10 a day and about 700 when I drink". Pretty nice little health plan he's got set up. McKinley and Jeron are playing pool just outside my office. Actually, Jeron is watching Robbie play. That's a new game. I bet Robbie will win. Get it? He's playing alone. (That was funny to more than one person, I think Emmet still checks this site). Scott Johnston brought Blue to Girl to play with Chick and it only cost Chick $700. That's about right for a play date, right? Until Chick get's his bright green YEAH RIGHT cast off, Blue is now known as Pooh. And I don't mean Winnie.
ENTRY #230 "We've got all kinds of fun activities lined up over at Boomers Family Fun Center" - The Gav, with a straight face over crab legs and a Corona
ENTRY #229 Can't seem to post any Laker news. Weird. Kelly Bird and Mike
Carroll are in the midst of planning a bachelor party for The Mez. Keep
in mind that The Mez doesn't drink any alcohol of any kind. I was going to fill
you in on prison conditions in Romania because I know that is something
you all wonder about when you are trying to get to sleep at night but
it was $7 to download the article and I thought to myself, "well, Crail
never charges for it's hard hitting news so why should we pay for it"?.
What's up with The Rick's? Well, Rickk had to miss the Vancouver portion of the High Five's tour so he went body surfing and worked on his base coat. Rick went to the demo and then went home. Anyone who has seen McCrank with his shirt off knows that his base coat is the last thing he needs to worry about. Lot of talk about dancing around here lately, I hope we're not getting soft. Oh wait, Bob K just walked by with his sox pulled up to his knees, we're no where in the vicinity of soft. Did you know that
Mikey picked the paint colors for his house with just one other person
involved? I swear, I thought it was a lie too but it's the truth. One of the Jefferson Brothers shot a lot of photos for Girl and forgot to invoice us. SHHHHHH!
ENTRY #228 No column today because
I don't appreciate the guy that writes the RANDOMS talking shit on the
way I promise my column will be better tomorrow.
ENTRY #227 I heard Magic Johnson say that in acquiring The Glove and The Mailman that The Lakers not only got two great ball players but they also got "two stand up guys". Look, I love The Lakers and I'm backing any great player (except Duncan) that becomes a Laker but "stand up guys"? Malone has almost killed at least a dozen people with those 200 pound elbows and The Glove? He should be called The Kid Glove, he's such a baby. It's fine to embrace the new players, let's not re-write history in the process. The Hime can take
a crap that is almost two feet long. He wanted us to put footage of
the task on The Tap but we don't put people crapping on The Tap. I must
say, the coaching from The Gav who filmed the event is really inspiring,
I cried when I heard him encourage Hime with "push like you've never
pushed". Cutting edge journalism, so hot right now. Blue, Scott J's new
dog that is so cute, he's half as cute as Chick has been hanging out
with Sal's dog who is also about as half as cute as Chick. But that's
not the issue. The issue is that Chick kept throwing up so he had to
go to the vet. They needed to take his temperature so of course I have
to think about the fact that he's a 3 pound dog which means his butt
is pretty tiny. We have our eye on
Ellesmere Island for our new distribution location. It gets so cold
there that there will probably be times when we are snowed in at the
warehouse and have to hang out with each other on the weekend. Lori D didn't take
too kindly to rules being made for the Pismo camp excursion just for
her so we added a few that are specifically for certain campers:
ENTRY #226 I'm like, super busy today but tomorrow this column is going to be so good, you're actually going to cry.
ENTRY #225 Every time we start
to get a little rhythm going with this column, someone steps in and
throws us for a loop. I wanted to keep you updated on The Haters but
Tig, the racist ignorant inbred little prick from Florida, took things
to a new level with his current e-mail. Harsh Hair Update: McCrank is sporting a "Hey, I'm from BC" feathered look, Ty has gone back to his natural color, Staba is sporting what looks to be a slight rip off of McCranks hair style with a Euro flair and Bob K still claiming he isn't rocking any hair product. Sure Bob. We're going to Pismo
Beach again this year instead of going to the trade show. Jenkins has
laid a few ground rules for this years party because as someone mentioned
yesterday, "Jenkins is the most sensible person in the building". Just spoke to the
High Fives Traveling Mystery Tour and they would like the following
people banned from The Tap: Someone that works
here at Girl has a neighbor that just bought the box set of DVD's about
The Civil War. She likes to tell this Girl employee the story each morning
as she makes her way through the set.
ENTRY #224 FLORIDIAN HATERS bring
home the gold for the second day in a row. I have a sneaky little feeling
that with an assmunch like Tig on their team, they are going to be bringing
the gold home quite often. The other reason why we aren't moving the distribution to Romania is because it's too close to the Czech Republic and Rickk will be like, "Why can't we have our warehouse in the Czech Republic, it's nice there and they have good tomato soup". And the next thing you know, we have two warehouses and it would just be total bullshit so we're not doing it. I wonder if the cops in The Czech Republic are too lazy to jump over a wall and catch a burglar. Hmmm. Harsh Hair Update:
Carnahan is no longer greasing his locks back, they are sort of soft
and shiny. Maybe it's his summer look. Eric Anthony has had a sun burned
head for about two weeks so he looks sort of like a new born polar bear
with the short blond do that he's sporting.
ENTRY #223 Apologies for the
lag in the updates. I have been bombarded with mail from The Laker Haters
ever since the news was announced that The Mailman and The Glove were
coming to The Lakers. Debating with these people isn't easy, they're
deep and quick thinkers so you have to be on your toes. It all takes
me back to listening to my sister and her best friend really breaking
down the issue of which Hardy Boy was hotter, Parker or Shaun. We're not moving the distribution to Romania. Creates too many immigration issues and then Greg and Mikey will be gone all day at Romanian Pride marches and we'll all wish we just stayed in Torrance where the mini trucks are detailed and the police won't climb over a 6 foot fence even if the alarm company tells them there is movement in the building. Ever buy a car and then realize it has the power of a moped? Sucks, right? I mean unless before the moped you had a bike or a razor scooter. Then a gutless car rocks. You know that song HOT BLOODED by Foreigner? Well, one night I had a dream that I changed the lyrics in it and it was about a fat guy and it went "got a waist line of 103" instead of "got a fever of 103". Pretty awesome dreaming things like that, I know it seems like I'm bragging but I'm just sharing. Guess who's birthday it is today? Wrong! IT's Patrick Stewart from Star Trek. I heard he doesn't like to be remembered as Patrick Stewart because he had done all sorts of theater that people don't know about but whatever. He's lucky I even mentioned his birthday. The only reason that I did was because I was reading the paper today and there was his picture.
ENTRY #222 We're thinking about moving our distribution to Romania. If we do, we'll have a different 800 number so check back.
ENTRY #221 The Mailman, The Glove and Daddy? Are we The Perverts or The Lakers?
ENTRY #220 Malone in purple and gold. I wonder if Sal and Kelly will buy the home color jersey's or the away color. Hmmm. It's sort of confusing
in that LOVERBOY song where he is singing about working for the weekend
and then all of the sudden he sort of switches his voice and asks "you
want a piece of my heart"?. It's weird that Jenkins thinks the picture of Megan in suspenders ended up on Crail but the picture of him in suspenders is safe. I wonder why he would think that. Maybe he thinks he still works at Wizard publications where people were mature and kind. No, we all worked there together, too. Maybe he's the guy in the LOVERBOY song that worked weekends and snapped. ALL MY CHILDREN is going so many kinds of off! Yesterday Erica had a meltdown in the rain and flashed back to when she got attacked. Bianca walked home in the storm after almost making out with her girlfriend only to come home to the power out and Psycho Michael Cambias in the living room. She goes, "You're not going to leave are you?" and he's all, "It depends on if you give me what I want". He's been trying to steal the anti-aging cream formula so I bet if she gives him that, he'll split. Scott Johnston, just
like Anne Hufnagel, tried to challenge Chick to a "I have a cuter dog
then you" contest only to totally lose. Chick is the cutest dog in the
whole world. Not one to be left out, Chico joined Mikey, Ty and Lardog in the "Kick my ass" club. Cheeks didn't want to talk about it but I checked with Ty and he's officially in the club.
ENTRY #219 I wonder how hard
Rickk and Frosty are going to try and back pedal if Malone ends up on
The Lakers... In a discussion about guns, Rickk went the redneck route and claims he could rob a bank with a motorcycle. He probably can so let's keep the "prove it" comments to a minimum. It's hard to tell who's more excited about The Gav's Phish tour, Hime or Rudy. I think Hime hides his emotions so he probably is more excited but really hard to tell due to how thrilled both of them were. Remember in Phenomenon with John Travolta when the town was having that book fair thing and everyone wanted to see his psychic powers but once he did some scary stuff with his powers everyone was all bummed? I can't remember what the point was. I wonder if there wasn't one. Again. Ty's in NY with Gino. That's all. I'm pretty sure this column might get shut down for sucking so you might want to read it a few extra times for when it is gone.
ENTRY #218 I just got an e-mail
from Lee Dupont asking if I could help him get a Magic Johnson jersey.
Looks like he's in for the coming season. Nice to see a turn around
like that. Next thing you know Bird's going to pull into the parking
lot with a Laker's flag on his car. The Hime has black
balled us so in return, we are going to start listing one secret each
day that The Hime told us not to tell. Mikey got the keys
to the house. He also took 75 digital photos of a house nearby that
he wants his house to look like. Would have been weird to buy the house
that looks like a house he wants, right? Marc J is missing in HB. Come home, Marcy Marc, the funky bunch misses you. Ty has started another video. He's in NY with Gino as I type. Whatever, BRYCE! Bob K is having trouble with people thinking they are funnier than him. He is seeing a therapist and is pretty sure he will be able to work through this soon. But until he does, don't say anything even sort of funny to him.
ENTRY #217 I guess Lee Dupont wants to be a Laker fan but he's skeered so that has been called off and I'm not sure but I think he is having Rickk deported. In other Laker news, Rickk is hoping the Laker organization shops Derek Fisher around. Spike has announced that whoever Ty has beef with, Spike has beef with. (Ty, can you get that list of people faxed over so we can let Spike know who he needs to vibe?) Yesterday when Snackmaster
Smyth was preparing his lunch in the Girl kitchen, he decided that he
could no longer take the chirping of the pet cricket that Bob and Megan
had living in the kitchen. Being the courageous man that he is, he got
a can of Raid, sprayed it in the crack where JoJo (that's what Bob and
Meg named their cricket) was chirping, and the chirping stopped. He
then continued preparing his lunch after the murder. Mikey got his cell phone back. He called the hotel and told them to please check his room as he knows he left it in there. So they did and they found it. How do you like them apples? Last night I had a
dream that The Hime bought a convertible Mustang and he came by Girl
with the top down and Led Zeppelin playing really loud. That dream wouldn't
be weird if in real life Rickk hadn't once pulled into the parking lot
in a bright blue Acura with Led Zeppelin playing really loud. The rager at The Gav's
house has been moved to Saturday from Friday to make it easier on people
that might get stuck in traffic. And again, let's not tell The Gav as
he's out of town that night and we don't want him worrying that people
are going to be spilling margaritas on the carpet.
ENTRY #216 Well, that update
I promised you on Lee Dupont and a secret love for the Lakers is being
put on a temporary hold. It seems Lee may not be ready to come forward
with his passion for the purple and gold and I think that needs to be
respected. These things need to be approached carefully. Remember when
we brought Hime out of the spinning closet a little too fast? He could
hardly get his rainbow headband back on and concentrate to get back
to the gym. And although Hime came to appreciate what Crail was doing
for him, he was a little shocked at the time. Today's Honourary Crail Canadian is Rick McCrank. Remember? It's always him. He's the Honourary Crail Canadian for life. It's silly to even put this up here, it's as if we serve no purpose. Mikey didn't lose
his wallet this past weekend, he lost his cell phone. I guess the wallet
thing was getting too easy, and with Sam losing his recently, also getting
a little trendy. If anyone has one of those Whisper 2000 microphones that you stick towards people talking to better hear their conversation, can you let us know? Bob K tries to eaves drop on the meetings at the Girl meeting table but he keeps getting the details mixed up when he goes to repeat things.
ENTRY #215 LEE DUPONT WANTS TO
BE A LAKER FAN!
ENTRY #214 Last night I couldn't fall asleep trying to decide if I should be a Kings fan or a Ducks fan when the NHL season starts. I live about 20 miles from each arena so I guess it just comes down to do I look better in purple in turquoise or silver and black. I hate these tough decisions. If you get a chance, read the Lakai news because it is about to get a new editor. Oh, if I don't get a hold of you, Kelly, fun while it lasted. Thanks for the memories. Guess which Carroll brother went on a Apple Streusel Friendster date? Guess which Tershay brother is back on Friendster? Guess which McCrank brother might get a signature Ruby guitar pick? Enough guessing. Let's spin! If anyone sees Rickk entering a casino this weekend, can you offer him some Skittles to sort of distract him? The guy goes back every now and then to "win his money back" and every time, Vegas is a little wealthier of a city. Guess what Bob K might be getting for his birthday from Megan? A land otter! Since Megan can't take care of it, she's going to buy it for Bob and he will love it and walk it and put it in a backpack and cruise around Venice. Shh! It's a surprise, but you "otter" know that. (That was with no formal comedy training, seriously).
ENTRY #213 I saw Shaq on TV last night and he looked so fat! Start working out, Blubber Stain, or we're going to get knocked out of the playoffs again next year. WHAT THE HELL DOES
THAT MEAN is on hiatus for a while. (Call me later Tim and I'll explain
what "hiatus" means). Harsh Hair Update: Ever seen Mikey with his shirt off? (I know half the female population in LA just nodded, yes). He has a sort of light feathered fur on his shoulders. It's actually really beautiful. Just so Mikey isn't mad at me, HARSH ROMANIA UPDATE: The Romanian Prime Minsister, Adrian Nastase is asking once again that Romania be included in NATO during the next round of alliance expansion. I'll keep you posted on this, very riveting. Nick changed his password on Friendster and all these people are trying to contact him now and somehow he can't retrieve his messages! If we don't get this solved by the end of the day today, we might be closed on Thursday and Friday! This is not good. Remember yesterday when I mentioned how great this column was going to be from now on? How much of a sack of crap was that? It actually got worse, not better. I guess I have to go back to repeating all the stuff people tell me to not put up here as well as making up lies about things Rick and Mike said about each other to get them in a fight. I want to take the high road but it makes for very boring updates. The High road is The Dry road. (Just made that up on the spot).
ENTRY #212 Bird and Bob K are in a huge fight. Bob K dissed some stuff that Bird did for Crail and now I think the next time they both get a few drinks in them, Bob is going to kick Bird's ass. Well, actually maybe the other way around. But can Bird say he's the 3rd Biggest Faker in Skateboarding? No sir! Rickk and Eric have patched things up after a nice game of basketball at Podium. The moral to the story seems to be "Wear a cup". Just a quick shout out to Frosty, what else needs to happen before you shake Rickk, Mike and The Gav from your circle of friends? Just checking.
