HIGHWAY HACKERS WARN OF NAZI ZOMBIES.

Saw this over at Wooster and thought it was funny enough for a repost,I love it when people use technology to fuck with things that don't really matter (Eric Elms NYC subway sign manipulation is another great example).

TO ALL YOU PROCRASTINATING STONERS WHO STEAL TV.

The government just gave you another 4 months to get your fucking convertor box before they switch to digital,because and I quote "Senate Commerce Chairman John Rockefeller said delaying the TV switch is the right thing to do because the United States is not yet ready to make the transition."What does he mean were just not ready to plug in a convertor box,damn this country is in waaaaaaay worse shape that I thought.

Ed.Note This procrastinating stoner who steals TV has not gotten my convertor box yet either.

WHY ARE THE TRUCKS KILLING PEOPLE ?

posted by Publikhair # 2:17 PM 1 comments links to this post

ONE OF THE PUBS FAVORITE PEOPLE.

One of my favorite players in the 90's was a pitcher by the name of Turk Wendell not that he was that good but he was one of the funniest guys to watch play the game of baseball a real character.He had so many little eccentricities that were just hilarious to me we need more sports figures like him here is a list of some of his quirks.

1.Wendell insisted that the umpire roll the ball to the mound rather than simply throw it to him. If an umpire would ignorantly throw the ball to him, Wendell was known to let it go past him, or even to let it bounce off his chest, after which he would retrieve it from the ground.
2.Whenever he began a new inning, Wendell would turn and wave to the center fielder and wait for him to wave back before proceeding.
3.At the beginning of each inning, Wendell would reportedly draw three crosses in the pitcher's mound dirt.
4.Whenever his catcher stood, Wendell would crouch down.
5.When entering or leaving the field, Wendell would always take a tremendous leap over the baseline.
6.Wendell would chew black licorice (an alternative to the chewing tobacco used by many players).
7.Wendell often brushed his teeth between innings (some claim that he brushed between every inning). While brushing, he often hid in the dugout, either by ducking behind objects or by facing the wall.
8.Wendell forcefully slammed his rosin bag onto the pitcher's mound between outs.
9.Wendell wore jersey number 99, in honor of Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn, the main character in the movie Major League (played by Charlie Sheen). In addition, in 2000 he signed a contract worth $9,999,999.99.[1]
10.Wendell wore a necklace made from the claws and teeth of various animals he had hunted and killed.
11.While in the minor leagues, rumor was that he drank only orange juice (no food or any other drink) on days he pitched. But he also claimed to drink four cups of coffee before each start.
12.Wendell sometimes threw his glove into the stands when leaving a game.

SAG LIFE x DQM AIRFORCE ONE BAGS.

This is what it looks like with a flash,saving your ass at night.

We just got these into the shop today,don't sleep supplies are super limited and I'm taking one of em.If your one of the homies get at me and I can probably swing you a little deal but you gotta pay for quality.Sag Life has slowly become one of the premiere bag companies out there along with Visvim,Head Porter and a small handful of others doing it right.Every time Sag collaborates with someone they sell out immediately and usually go for dumb prices on JP Yahoo and even though I would much rather it say SEA on the side and not NYC what are you gonna do it still is one of the nicest bags your likely to see.

OBAMA AS LINCOLN BY RON ENGLISH.

"...that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863.

Three new giant wheatpaste posters just got put up behind the store today of President Obama as Abraham Lincoln done by artist Ron English (Thanks Damion and Jose for installing.) There was a little debate at first over these posters getting installed due to speculation over the chance of assaisination seeing that's how Lincoln met his fate,and I'm glad to see that the City was not scared as it usually is and went forward with it.

By now I'm sure most of the world knows about PoorLifeChoices the amazing web site showing the rest of the world just how we do it in the 206.It is operated by a group of tight-knit P.O.S.

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY!!!

If this Presidency wasn't just so horribly sad Bush really is quite a funny guy.That being said I have been waiting for this day for 2922 days (I think my math is right) 490 of which Bushie got to spend in good ol' Crawford Texas and another 487 at lush Camp David while the rest of America was losing their respective asses.When I think about the fact that I got a few years with Carter (as an infant) then grew up with 8 years of Ronnie another 8 years of Senior Bush (one of my least favorite humans on the planet) then 8 great years with Clinton right into a black hole of shit which has been the last 8 years of Jr.'s reign.I know how depressing is that when you add up all those wasted years of Republican crap,TODAY COULDN'T BE A BETTER DAY!!!Here are ten of Bush's more memorable quotes god has this all just been one long nightmare?

10. "You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."

9. "I couldn't imagine somebody like Osama bin Laden understanding the joy of Hanukkah."

8. "I'm the master of low expectations."

7. "I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe - I believe what I believe is right."

6. "People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you."

5. "I try to go for long runs, but it's tough around here at the White House on the outdoor track. It's sad that I can't run longer. It's one of the saddest things about the presidency."

4. "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."

3. "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."

2. "Our enemies are innovative and resource, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

1. "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

FLYING COFFIN x MANIK x GOODS.

Well I had pics for these decks over a week ago but Jason wouldn't let me post them cuz well he's Jason and that's why I love him.Anyways this deck series is amazing and available at Goods, or Flying Coffin's web site and selected stockist of FC.The boards are a collage of past graphics and came out really nice in person much better than the pic in my opinion.The boards are limited to 250 total or 50 sets for you mathmaticians out there and are on BareBack wood ( 7.75, 7.87, 8, 8, 8.125).The tee shirt is even more limited only 45 in the whole wide world and Goods is getting 10 of em while the remaining 35 go to the FC web store.Happy 2 and a half years of great work Jason and continued succsess from the Pubs.

STEPHEN SPROUSE "ROCK ON MARS"

Many of you may not think you know who Stephen Sprouse is but I guarantee that you do.He is the guy that first "tagged" the Louis Vuitton hand bags with Marc Jacobs that almost single handily made the brand "street".His collections of fashion in the 80's were very bright day-glo,60's ish,graffiti inspired clothes (think an OG CassettePlaya) and he worked with people like Keith Haring,Debby Harry and was even given permission to use Andy Warhols "Camouflage" screen prints to make a textile pattern.You can see some of the show here and some other works here. Although I'm not a huge fan of the skateboard that LV produced for Sprouse's new collection,the homage to a late great at The Deitch Projects though is worth the time to visit.

LIL WAYNE "G" COMMERCIAL.

First Wayne popped up in Lebron's newest Nike commercial looking creepy as usual and now he is trying his hand at a GatorAid commercial,not actually acting in it just lending some inspirational words that start with the letter G for GatorAid's new beverage.He really doesn't impress very much but then again it is for a sports drink how much can you really say?Do I smell some Formula 50 type shit for Wayne and GatorAid maybe with some Promithezine and Codeine to get you on lean,kind of the exact oppisite of what GatorAid is supposed to do.

MY COLLECTION JUST GOT A LITTLE BETTER.

I'm a huge book fan not really the ones you read so much as art,photography and things like that.I just recently acquired a well thumbed through first edition of El Topo signed and inscribed by the mad genius Alejandro Jodorowsky.The book is split into two parts first a detailed narrative of the movie in his own words and the second part which is an interview with Jodorowsky in which he begins like this "This interview was done in one sitting.The reader must read it in one sitting.And then take a shower and try to forget it.If he cannot forget it,he must open a window and stick out his hand and wait for a bird to build a nest in it and lay three eggs.And then he should pull in his hand violently and crack the eggs on his forehead.If the reader is not ready for that experience,he should not eat this book."Yeah I know that's what I said.The second is a near mint Ryan McKinley book which is his first published book ever and details his "road trip" photography which I'm sure you've seen in Vice magazine but guess what Vice aint worth shit and this book is already worth upwards of $500-700 dollars and only going to go up in value with things like the youngest person ever to have a solo show at the Whitney,Photographer of the Year in 2003 from American Photo Magazine and the Young Photographer Infinity Award under his belt.
