Lifted from Wikipedia and edited: William Wrigley Jr. died January 26, 1932 and his body was interred in his custom-designed sarcophogus near his home on Catalina Island, located in the tower of the island's Wrigley Memorial & Botanical Gardens. But a decade after his death, Wrigley was moved during World War II due to war/security concerns. His original grave memorial marker still adorns the tower site. Wrigley was reinterred in the corridor alcove end of the Sanctuary of Gratitude, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

Posted October 26th, 2011 by Join the ridiculous moustache gang? no way.
RVCA
Man. Jimmy said he quit as RVCA's skateboarding Tm? right? that was his job. Anyway,bottom line. He quit RVCA and his blog was super funny. Oh well, his Instagram shit talking is hilarious though

Fuck, I just got home like 10 minutes ago from my photography class. 4 hours in the lab,bro. yeah, I'm so cool. jk. I procrastinated and usually leave the class after like 2 hours or less. did all my work just now for the critique.

Anyway, that girl is wearing RVCA, who you work for. pretty funny. but I'm sure you're used to seeing kids wearing Toy Machine gear and being like "And you're...what? you skate?"
You know, it's weird. when people talk a bout the generally oblivious people that skateboard, they're referred to as "kids". like Youwillsoon's Watson does it, Message board fiends do it..you know. There are some adults too. it's not cool to just call them people. oh well. pointless observation.

Phone booth article is real funny. Man, I guess that's some shit I was lucky enough to experience as a kid. Movie scenes aren't as cool anymore, like Dumb and Dumber.

I like the photo of the seagull flying away, I see your shadow though. With your gringo sombrero.
;) just kidding

Sophia photo came out good.

Ridiculous mustache gang?
I don't think those Kleen Kanteens with the mustache on them are funny.
at all.
Plus paying 20 dollars+
no.

some of your pics, like the first one, make me wonder about how they came to be. were you just standing around waitin for ferry's and stuff and were all "snap" real quick like or do you ask the girls if you can take their pics? they're USUally not looking at the camera.

the phones are in our pockets now

Things are changing in the clothing business.

Lunch, I just shoot. That girl was just zoning out in the area I was in, and I snapped her.
Posted By: ed on October 27th, 2011 at 12:59AM PST
haha I do need a better job.. I just recently got my GED. I'm gonna do something. Possibly go to school for art! I wish I could be a pro skater but no telling if that'll happen. Oh well I'm having fun. I wanna skate more though, I'm only skating twice a week which sucks.
Posted By: Josiah on October 27th, 2011 at 10:47AM PST
ps

I wanna meet Stacy! I wonder how old she is?
Posted By: Josiah on October 27th, 2011 at 10:50AM PST
Sucks to hear that about Jimmy. Hope he's doing well.

Josiah- How'd the milf thing go? haha

Really like the photo of the Wrigley house

Josiah. I made you a video

Posted By: Jgonzalez on October 27th, 2011 at 03:36PM PST
I posted that one before!
Posted By: ed on October 27th, 2011 at 06:00PM PST
Haha well no luck yet. We were texting and she had asked me why do you wanna talk to me? I'm kinda older then you. I said well I've never been with an older women before. I doubt we could have a serious relationship, but maybe we could have a little fun? She replied with lol we'll see.

So basically I have to play my cards right! I'm still working on it. TIME will tell!

Jgonz- I love that video I'm gonna post it everywhere!
Posted By: Josiah on October 27th, 2011 at 10:59PM PST
Tell her you want her to take your V card. She will not be able to resist.
Posted By: ed on October 28th, 2011 at 01:01AM PST
Josiah, Listen to Gene Simmo.., I mean, Ed.
What the hell does that V card mean? You gonna lick her pussy?
Should he call her and tell her to come over to get her pussy licked?

Nah, draw her a picture, write a poem and seduce her by playing the flute.
Show her the beauty of nature, impress her with your knowledge bout squirrels and other fluffy creatures.That´s what a real Bon Jovi would do.
Posted By: S on October 28th, 2011 at 01:27AM PST
S van, The "V card" means his virginity. When you get your "V card pulled" it means your virginity has been taken. It's stupid American slang.
Posted By: ed on October 28th, 2011 at 02:15AM PST
V card isn't as stupid as "Baby daddy"

Josiah...buy her dinner and make her laugh. If you can make her laugh, you're in.
According to my psych class. 40% of woman are down to fuck when approached. As opposed to 90% of men. But anyway. 40% means when approaches by a stranger. So. Your chances are already good since you text her.

Make sure to wear your Toy Socks only while participating in the mating ritual. For the TMST. We need bangers for this video. Ha. Get it?
Posted By: Jgonzalez on October 28th, 2011 at 08:16AM PST
Great post.
What is the stache gang?
I feel like Svan asking for definitions. You're the best S!
I have an old V card lying around somewhere if anyone needs a fakey to get you into places.
Jgonz good lookin' out for your peeps. Let's see those new pics soon.
Toy Sock Team road trip to Catalina.

Thanks, Ed.Thanks, Eggs.
But I kinda feel like a dumb n dirty old bastard now...
Believe me german slang isn´t that much better when it comes to sex.
