Yup, it’s an exact replica of the some 20 year old Original Jams Skidgrip mid-shoe.

And not a moment too late, folks, the ’80s are baaack.

Still smiling, one month later.

The children of DC are safer without Cheney’s dark shadow circling the sky. Although, baby calves thoughout rural Montana should be nervous come January, cause Cheney’s supply of fresh baby hearts is going bankrupt …this is the only recession that will effect him.

Anyway, I don’t care how broke we are as long as those “conspirators, card sharks, double-crossers, and secret betrayers of their own people” leave Washington.

Amen.

PS. I don’t remember how I found this painting from Africa, but it is super bad.

By power washing their graffiti designs onto pollution-caked city walls, the Reverse Graffiti Project forces city officials embittered by street art to remove the city’s soot and dirt in order to remove the art.

So, either the city is clean or it’s artful? Sounds pretty win-win to me.

In fact, I like the idea so much I just deleted my commentary about the Reverse Graffiti Project recent advertising work for Clorox’s new “green bleach,” GreenWorks.

Kennedy… West Berlin… 1963… Jelly doughnut? …Anyone?

Well, a treat for all you Berliners, jam filled or otherwise, from JAYBO to the streets.

How can anyone deny the branding coup that is Kool-Aid? It began with engaging packaging and stormed through the imaginations of children everywhere with ways to pimp the old lemonade stand, Marvel comics and atari games — both of which you could acquire with devout attention to Kool-Aid rebates.

With the ever popular animated pitcher crashing around, Kool-Aid has managed to become at once a timeless representation of youthful summer fun, mindless devotion and the mind exploding LSD-25.

Don’t steal music!” or “Once, I ran over a baby in Taco Bell’s drive-thru, ‘cuz I was high…”) comes Santa Ana’s campaign against graffiti, complete with chart. IS your child a tagger??

Go look at Santa Ana’s police website where they posted this. Funny, indeed.
