Don't die before making it a Toy Machine year.

Photo Key: Make a New Years resolution to try new things, like buying only Toy Machine boards and clothes, and getting more creative with your manual love-making.
Answer to the post below: Ed shot the top one, and Grif the bottom one.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR OVERLORD

This year you will finally score.

Billy Marks Daydreams...

About things he wished he did in 2007...

Who shot it? Grif or Ed?

And what does it matter when Harry Potter is Evil?
Answer: Ed shot the top one, and Grif the bottom one.

Hope your Christmas was Grand...

Johnny Celebrates Winter Solstice in a creepier way than most...

And Matt B got a half-hoverboard from Santa! They haven't quite worked out the other half yet. Did anyone eat Gingerbread cookies? Gross. Don't forget the homeless this holiday season, you can still do something nice for them. This heavy metaler did, because he knows he will be homeless one day.
Grant got a 'Nazi-terrorist fun set' from Mattel Toys complete with lead paint and a working M-80!
Uh-Oh! Someone switched the Santa letters into Satan again!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS from the TOY MACHINE team...

Photo Key: And a safe New Year too. Don't: eat too much. Do: get lots of presents.

Family Christmas, Check.

Just 2 more Christmas things to do...

Skater kids shot from the car in LA

Random huh?

Billy goes to Sheckler's Party - MEGA POST!!!!

Ryan gives Billy a peace sign. Now that he is on TV, there are lots of people showing up to his parties. And of course they know his fridge will be well-stocked with all that MTV cash. And anyway, you know a party is huge when there is a band and a 'jumbo-tron.' Or when you see a posted model release when you walk in telling you that you might appear on TV, and if you do, you can't sue.

Billy hired himself a new 'Life Assistant' his name is Alien from Canada.

He's into beer like most Canadians. And who the fuck does this guy think he is?

And what about this guy? Where do these people come from? I never saw this guy at a Dew Tour.

Billy started wondering if it was such a good idea to come here...

Active Erica was there with her tight homies.

Billy is one of her tight homies.

Alien fell in love with Sheckler's mom...

And arm-wrestled his dad!

Don't trip over the camera dude.

I'm almost 95% sure that this is Colin McKay.

Things started getting weirder the more drunk people got.

Then J-Lay showed up...

Someone (Alien?) disrobed and started spraying the crowd with urine.

Johnny was loving it.

Then Billy started taking photos of girls, but zooming in only on their boobies. (He is single now, we can allow it.)

These ones look like they are sitting on a shelf.

These ones are texting.

These ones are married to a pro-skater.

Then Billy started going for the up-skirt shots, but wasn't too successful.

These ones were available for a squeeze test?

Thanks Ryan (and Red-Bull I assume...) for having Billy over! It was epic!

New Skateboarder Magazine has a big Toy article

Get a closer look at Austin Stephens' schralping. Thanks Skateboarder!

These two guys make Toy Machine happen...

...Just as much as Ed Templeton and the Team do... Tod Swank, and Matt Barker. Two awesome skateboarders who do a lot of the important behind-the-scenes stuff. Our graphic artist Jamal found these while going through an old Transworld from 1991. And Swank took Matt's photo too! Photo Key.

Billy WINS!!!!

He was the first Toy rider to call and say thanks for his Christmas bonus! And he NEVER
calls me! Something is going on... I'll have to keep a close watch on this situation.

Kevin Left to Kansas for the Christmas

Photo Key: He was looking feral while holed up in his room making the LURK-FEST video. But now he is all cleaned up and happy.

Hipster Olympics

Day In The JLay

Johnny has a Day In The Life up over at the Active site. Pretty epic.
Check out the FAKE Ed Templeton MySpace page.

For you Random Blog surfers...

Some Barry McGee artwork!

Austin & Matt Post Rippage

Photo Key: They pretty much burned shit down. Austin's been inspired by blind patriotism lately. Matt gets stoked on this.

Careful, people are trying to read your lips...

New trend in Cell phonery... (and paranoia.)

From Bummed to Stoked, thats how life goes...

so we hope.

A Message from Toy Machine:

Photo Key . The best way to send Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.

Charlie Coatney tag?

Found and collected by none other than Geoff Rowley. You may be asking, 'Who the fuck is Charlie Coatney and who cares?' Well, those who know, they know. Those who don't, watch the 'Toy Machine LIVE' video.

Tell the Geico Gecko... 'I'm after him!'

Photo Key: After looking at Kevin's daily injection, why not dive right back into some...
celebrity news!

Some scenes from other people's lives...

Check this out. When you get bummed, go here to do something about it.

Matt B has a few massages for you.

In this holiday season of crass consumerism, it may be a good idea to remember how all the shit we buy gets made, and how it gets taken care of when we throw it away. It's the Story of Stuff. Watch it, its short!
Matt B tried to save it, but it was a lost cause... Photo: Key

If you are in Buenos Aires, Argentina, go check this video out!

Can't remember if I posted this one or not...

Perhaps a loyal pawn will know? If it turns out I have, enjoy one of Deanna's photos of girls with autographs on their bodies...

It sounded like a good idea at the time...
