And this little gem, that noone could ever dare forget out of fear that God Himself aka Morrissey, may descend upon us from his throne in heaven and strike everyone down using nothing but his sweet honey-like voice.

Freeboks

I got flowed a pair of fresh Reebok kicks the other day, courtesy of HGT. Sorry Vox Footwear I am now exploring my options when it comes to getting free shoes.

Penn State

I saw a huge framed poster of an old Globetrotter performing the purse skit (above) from the show hanging up at Penn State, so I had to re-create the image 15 years later (and much better of course). The pre-game show lighting was amazing too.

Penn State has one of the best college towns in the world, by the way. Cheap drinks and food coming out the ying yang.

Jersey Shore

Here are some shots of the Jersey Shore taken while in Wildwood, NJ. It was sweet to see a beach with snow, and I captured my partner John (no homo, we work together) taking a flick in there.

No, the MTV show was not filming at the time but I wish it was because there were guidos all over. People do keep mistaking me for an I-talian, which is fun. I always proudly respond with,

"Sorry, I'm a Jew."

Katz's Deli

On a recent jaunt to NYC I was fortunate enough to feast at the famed Katz's Delicatessen. Take a gander at this corned beef, and the texture of that matzoh ball. It's enough to drive a mam howling mad with delight.

Trotters on Ice Pics

Globetrotters on Ice

Yesterday, history was made as the Globetrotters played the first ever game on ice right in the heart of Harlem. The rink in Central Park was set over a lake of and had two basketball hoops on either end, the ice had about an inch of snow on it. Wearing spiked cleats and helmets, the Trotters took to the ice while crowds of kids from the city who got the day off school and a flock of reporters from all the major media (AP, Reuters, NY Times, Daily News, Etc) looked on.

I made my way onto the ice, camera in hand and got a front row seat to something that has never been done before and probably won't ever be again, for obvious reasons.

Check me out lurking hard in the background amongst the video of the press (wearing a white and blue jacket).

Globetrotters play game on ice rink in New York

By RICK FREEMAN (AP) – 1 day ago

NEW YORK — The Harlem Globetrotters have a new way to beat the Washington Generals — on ice.

The famed basketball barnstormers played on a hockey rink for the first time in their 84-year history Tuesday, putting on a show in New York's Central Park ahead of a tour of the area.

Both teams wore ice cleats on their shoes but the Globetrotters' mascot appeared unable to find ones that fit his cartoonish sneakers, and wound up adding some unintentional slapstick to the routine.

The Globetrotters' Kris "Hi-Lite" Bruton put on an old-school goalie mask and used a hockey stick to bat down a shot. The Generals grimly stuck to their usual brand of basketball — and lost 32-15.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.

Conan Playing for the Generals?

As you may or may not know, Conan's show is about to be canceled and he has been asked to play for the Generals. We are all freaking out over here, that Conan might make an appearance....

Globetrotters' Pathetic Rival Tries to Draft Conan

Posted Jan 21st 2010 4:00AM by TMZ Staff

Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter have been asked to help take down the Harlem Globetrotters -- by joining forces with the team that's lost to the Trotters a highly pathetic 13,000 times in a row.



In a letter sent to Conan's office by Red Klotz, the president of the Washington Generals, Red asks Conan and Andy to suit up with the team for the remainder of the 2010 season ... after team scouts learned the duo "may be available over the next several months."

Klotz believes the team would benefit from "[Conan's] height and Andy's lane-clogging potential" -- but "can't guarantee any immediate wins."

Sadly, Klotz isn't trying to draft the Masturbating Bear ... we hear he's a very accurate shooter.

Random Skate Spots on the road

I keep running in to all these really tasty looking skate spots on the road. I thought I would post a few of these pics before they disappear into my "pit of despair" aka hard drive containing years' worth of photo archives.

I was about to skate all of these spots but decided that they looked too easy and that I'd leave them for the young bucks. Besides, I don't want to risk breaking a sweat and not being freezing ass cold. Alright, no more complaining about the cold, I swear.

Akron OH

Akron Ohio was as cold as Mel Gibson's anti semititic heart. Fortunately, I was able to warm up in that full size jacuzzi tub that was in my room.
