"he won't give me the $20 for the boltcutters, so i'm just gonna beat him down"
check this between two hardcore rockers in 1993. the conversation details the story of the removal of a boot from a car using giant boltcutters, beating up roommates, ultimate satanic metal bands, and all-time great guitar performances. it's long but worth listening to.

check out gilbert arenas' weird blog on nba.com
no secret that this guy works at a different rhythm than the rest of the nba, but i finally took a few moments to today and it's brilliant. most of the stuff really comes from out of nowhere. he also thinks very highly of himself.
check out this entry in its entirety:
and this excerpt is pretty golden too:

Larry Hughes Still Wears Wizards Practice Shortscool, thank gil.
You know what’s funny about stuff like that? All players do that for some reason. You’ll catch Caron wearing Lakers shorts or Miami shorts. That’s just what players do. It’s just a pair of shorts. Throughout the year I’ve seen DeShawn Stevenson wear Utah shorts and Magic shorts and I’ve worn Golden State clothing from time to time. Since you collect it, you just end up wearing it.
and this excerpt is pretty golden too:
Baron's Beard
It’s working for him. This is the old Baron.
I had a beard too this year but that was more of me being too lazy to go get a hair cut. Mine wasn’t really like shaped up, it was just there. His is all nice and trim. He takes his time with his.

skateboarding is not a crime
in and effort to increase more respect for the law, stephen dean (whose beat is in ) has taken to the skatepark to learn to skate with the other skaters. it's a pretty good deal considering he's getting paid £40 ($79) for a one hour skate session. I hope this idea comes state side.
wtf? bearforce 1
the latest boy/man group to come out of the netherlands. i have a feeling the the dance routine in this will be mimicked across youtube.

(almost certainly) the weirdest thing this guy has ever seen
when you stumble upon a small group of grown men in classic superhero costumes filming each other in the alleyway, that's pretty damn weird. don't worry, it only gets weirder.
check all the pics . heads up, they're slightly nsfw if you're in a really stodgy office environment where your coworkers study the pages you are browsing.
(thanks, satt.)

more norwegian girl band awesomeness
when you take three norwegian schoolgirls who are a little tone deaf, don't have much rhythm or lyrical talent, and are just short of being hot, you'd expect to have a real turd of a band. and while you'd be right, it still somehow turns out as a marvelous piece of art.
listen as they recap the history of their friendship from year to year, leading to the sad moment when they have to grow and move apart. watch their video "soon."

A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating towards the beach from the direction of England."curiously, the torso of the legoman reads "no real than you are." this is a mystery that needs to be solved.

fmrm - me and daniel dumile
it isn't as captivating as me and dupree, but whilst sweating away in ny i've been listening to a lot of mf doom. i've also been listening to a lot of iron and wine and pat benatar, too. i dont know if nike plans on doing a sam beam nike af1 or pat benatar nike dunk, but i think it might be a good idea. if you leave in weehawken, NJ, right now, boil your water and let's all be happy that they are only counting 5 critical casualties in minneapolis...

"Nevertheless, as a fan of Queen, I am glad that he left science temporarily," he added.
