Things You Pondered Today

[Ricky Vaughn]

I wondered if rhinos ever just ponder ramming that horn into everything out of boredom

Why is it so hard to stop eating chips or ice cream? Sitting down with a bag or a pint is dangerous.

I ate a whole bag of chips yesterday and was wondering the same thing.  I think it’s because the after taste makes you uncomfortable as it fades away and the only way to stop that is to bring the taste back up to the max by eating just one more

Eating a whole bag is the responsible thing to do. What are you gonna do just eat some and throw the rest out? That's fukn wasteful. Consider yourself lucky you don't live somewhere where icecream only comes in 2L tubs.

That observation about the aftertaste fading is right on. It's like I need that saltiness and savoriness to stay on my tongue.

I think I'm doing okay in the responsibility department then because I will often come close to finishing off a whole bag or pint in one sitting. I'll leave just a little to console myself that I didn't eat the whole thing like a glutton with no self-control.

One time i ate a whole bag of kettle dill pickle chips and a 6 pack of beer for dinner. I was pondering wtf the next morning when it felt like i was digesting a baseball.

The fda adds additive B I think it's called to junk food. It makes your brain think it needs said products to survive. It's why big tobacco and DXLSF is so popping.

NB claims they don't need it and they're a true east new england based business.

Salem's the most skate blessed place I've been since well before 911.

The attitude of the public towards at least my skating is outstanding.

The thing I have going on in my home town is such a departure from the past it mounts to a near religious experience near every recent session.

When I think I'm going to be bounced people ask me to do a trick andi deny them high fives blaming sweat and smile at them to kill that thought.

Sometimes a boomer gen tourist will fuck with me and refuse to move 2'... say something like it's a free country......but i have back up curbs upon back up curbs.
They exist in near total harmony within their environment so Ill talk light shit and dip.

I wanna know...

What's changed in the chemical makeup of general public to make them go beyond not giving a shit to being entranced and so complimentary?

Or is it white boy day?

[ChuckRamone]

You know how beaches have reports for what the waves are like for surfers? They should that for skateparks, so you get a breakdown of how crowded it is, if there are lots of scooter kids or lurkers, if the park is wet or dry, stuff like that. But I guess that would require someone getting paid to do it and what city would actually create that job?

What is Smolik doing these days to support himself financially?

[ungzilla]

i believe he is focused on maritime law

What's a good gift for a 2 year old nephew?

What's a good gift for a 2 year old nephew?

At this point (probably bought shit for like 25 nephews,nieces, friends kids) I just know to ask the parents what to get. Don't spend too much it will most likely be in the trash by Xmas.
Also books.

I second asking the parents.

Also something that isn’t noisy and doesn’t take up a lot of space for the parents’ sake.

Going to third this haha. Despite us saying it multiple times, our grandparents always want to buy new little toys for our kids, but they just move onto the next thing in a day or 2 and it just takes up space. Asking the parents is always appreciated. Maybe there's a specific toy they're already into like magnet tiles and they would want an extra refill of pieces or something. They'll gladly let you know though!

Pondering what it means to be anti-war right now. Losing sleep over it actually. I should probably stop reading the news compulsively but that feels wrong also.

I been grinding like crazy trying to make money to pay for the rehearsal space that's full of my gear.
The recording is done so mofos with full time jobs don't have their part again.
I can't get these fools to practice when we're behind on rent.

This is a lose lose lose.

Idk how I'm going to be able to make this happen. I already miracled $300 from selling my albums.

Totally fuckin fucked.

I gotta find this shit f
Before the 20th. Then I'm emptying the space before the next month.

It sucks I can't even trust my closest homies to come up with 140 bucks a month

Do shoe brands use the term "footwear" outside of skateboarding? Can't think of a single moment of a brand using that in their marketing that wasn't a skate shoe

I spontaneously came accross a podcast called "Not Today, Pal" hosted by the actor & actress who played Tony Sopranos' kids in the show The Sopranos.
Truth be told, I have not yet seen the whole series of The Sopranos but my ponderance today isn't really about The Sopranos or the Not Today, Pal podcast.
My ponderance is about their podcast logo:

Which one of you pals works on this show?

[matt_2993]

^^oh shit

For Americans, Canadians
How much do you spend on candy etc to give out to trick or treaters and about how many would probably come to your house?


Just noticed at the shops they have put all this Halloween candy to give out even tho trick or treating isn't really done in Australia. There's seriously like 6 schools within 2 miles of my house I could be up for hundreds of $ if this shit takes off.

[matty_c]

Man one year I wanna have a hectic Halloween house  with like a dead priest hanging in the tree and heaps of upside down crosses and shit

Does anyone remember dog shit used to be white? I saw it on instagram but I totally remember it
Apparently it’s because they used to put too much bone in dog food and there’s better dog food now

I found this mildly amusing

A movie with the same premise as "Multiplicity" starring Michael Keaton, but instead it involves each of the different Jim Greco phases.

Why do Republicans want to get rid of hate crime laws?

[nollieflip]

Why do Republicans want to get rid of hate crime laws?

Why do some US citizens supporting some political party call out other US citizens supporting the other political party on racist policies but never mention the US uniparty war machine killing millions of people around the world and destroying countries so that the USA can continue to dominate/ loot the world.

[tuesday]

What does slap look like on the other side?

[FUBAR]

Why the hell do people feel like you HAVE to get married and HAVE to have kids. I ponder this all the time.

[Banned from the room]

What's going to the Dr look like where you're from.

Does it usually help or do you leave confused and frightened like me?

How close to death do you gotta be in your state to get help?

It’s like pointing out that the sky is blue, and complaining doesn’t bring change
