Men at Work/ I am the Walrus



These 2 pictures share a common theme: Dave and Matt. That's a good combo. They'd both agree on that. It's a good combo because Dave is already self motivated to do crazy stuff. Then Matt's added encouragement means Dave will do even crazier stuff. Then it looks good because Matt filmed it. So with Matt and Dave, you get good looking crazy tricks, and that makes for fun videos to watch. So that top picture is us up in Salt Lake (side note that has nothing to do with post. Imagine a half-breed man walrus. He just walked by. This guy at my school that looks like he's 15... 18 at most. He wants people to take him more seriously, so he grew a mustache. But he didn't know when to stop, and his mustache has completely taken over his upper lip and most of his bottom lip. He kind of looks like the guy on Jurassic Park 3 and Magnolia... I can't think of his name.... William H Macy! That's it. Ok, look up a picture of William H Macy on line and draw a huge walrus mustache on him. And take off like 30 years. That's what this kid looks like. I don't think anyone's going to take him serious though. A mustache has the opposite reaction that those who sport them want: we're less intimidated by you. If you have the accompanying beard, ok, let's rumble. But just a mustache, it's not worth my time. Sorry Nick, nobody wanted to fight you when you had your mustache. Now that it's gone though, there's a line of people wanting to rumble. And you know what? You wanna rumble, let's rumble! Another unrelated story, a tangent within a tangent. When I was 14, Charles Bagley's dad came to Dixie High where me and Nick Graff were skating and asked us if we knew where his son was. We didn't know, so we told him. Then he said, "yeah, well I know that skaters don't like rollerbladers, and Charles rollerblades... So if you wanna rumble, lets f---ing rumble!" The guy was probably 5'6'' with a perfectly round, protruding pop belly, a long pony tail, a pantera shirt, and huge arms from working construction since age 9. He didn't have the accompanying mustache, so we were obliged to fight him... No, we just looked surprised at him and Nick said, "no... we don't wanna f---in rumble...." We stared at him until he finally just turned around and left. Charles apologized to us at school the next week and asked if I knew where he could score some bud. I didn't.... Anyway, these pictures are of Matt filming Dave, and I like them. And Dave is missing his beard in the first one because he was tired of intimidating people.
