If dogs could talk and we could have conversations with them

Would they become less popular to own or more ?

I know it's been discussed a ton, but I thought about it a lot when that Am Scramble vid came out and they did the intro vid where they all talked and it mentioned Tyson Peterson doesn't make any money.

It's pretty wild to me that a skater can work super hard for years and they finally make it as an am and if they're lucky get $500 a month from a board sponsor. I thought about it a lot when Oddity came out and most all the dudes said they were barely getting paid. Are skate brands that small/hurting so bad that they can't give a couple hundred bucks a month to their riders? It just seems insane that with the amount of exposure they give a company, that their worth wouldn't be a little more.

Why is it that the only people who care about who is in the military(U.S.A.), are also the same ones that will never, ever fight in the war themselves?

Board sales fell off a cliff. The rate of people skateboarding has probably halved since 2002. Do they deserve big money? Yes. Is the money there? Not even close. Only the pros on FOSCKO get paid, ams get product.

I ponder why parents won't put their kids into sports anymore, if you can do football or hockey skating should come easy.

That thought crossed my mind today too from today's headlines.


Regardless, I still don't agree with the president's decision to do what he did... But I'm not going to go on a debate about it. I'm just some fucktard with an iPhone on a skateboard message board.

Why do Americans leave their shoes on in the house? Maybe some Canadians do it, but i've never seen it really
Don't you have to wash your carpet and floor a lot more often?

I just wonder why it's okay to have my cats resting their buttholes on every single surface they can climb onto. How is that even sanitary for me to live with them? Maybe it's mutually beneficial somehow.

Mine do, too. But sometimes not right away. The really fat one definitely can't clean herself so if her brother is slacking, then who knows how much she has been smearing around.

Shoes in the house in America is much different than in Europe or Asia because 99% of the population does NOT just stop and take a shit in the street whenever they want.

Yet they will get dogs and have them shit all over the place instead.

How sick would you get if you ate one of those freshener packets that are in shoeboxes and bags of beef jerky? If you didn't die, could you sue?

Probably not, because of the giant warnings printed on them telling you not to eat...

You would have to eat a whole lot of those silicia gel beads to make you sick. They're non toxic and indigestable so you could pop a handful and shit most of them out later. You'd probably have some stowaways for life though. Go nuts.

You sound like you need to dig through the ashtray on top of a gas station trashcan until you can scrape an entire cigarette together so you can relax.

Whatever happened to Girl Workshop B? Did they grow up and start posting here under a new username? Also, where's ChildOfTheGhetto?

I'm also pondering how many accounts Bawtawd has had now, is it the record for most accounts for one poster? I know Will has quite a few under his belt too.
