you know CH, back in high school the skateboarders loved to lug around their skateboards between periods so EVERYONE KNEW THEY WERE SKATEBOARDERS. if life were a RPG their CRED would get +5 no doubt.

there was one kid chris ("khwis") gibson who was kind of slightly retarded... you know, he was the one kid in our graduating class who got caught masturbating in a bathroom in between periods once... you know?

welp one day everyone noticed khwis gibson toting around a snoopy JOE COOL skateboard, so of course everyone (especially the skaters) laughed at him like OMFG WHAT A FUCKING RETARD HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

steve cook, the guy who would go on to design the skate park at the lattof YMCA in des plaines, was sitting by me in the cafeteria as this was happening and said "hey jim, what do you think the chances are that chris just unleashed the most brilliant satire of all these guys laughing at him and they're too stupid to know?" --- i just responded "i like the way you think steve"

---

so yeah CH, you know, i can't help but think with the post dated april 1st that might have been SHARK's way of doing a tribute to.... oh fuck. i just noticed the title. goddamit CH you got me good.
