Jose Canseco’s Pool Party
My new favorite blog in the world is Jose Canseco’s Pool Party, a running list of Who Was, Who Wasn’t, and Who Might Have Been at Jose’s 1998 Miami pool party.
“At this point, a complete roster of party attendees is not known, but is a subject of much conjecture across the media landscape…
…One thing is certain — the notion of a Jose Canseco Pool Party is probably one of the most awesome things ever imagined. As Bill Simmons suggested, the list of pool parties throughout history — both real and…
VDO: Jose Canseco takes you to pound town
We saw this video of Jose Canseco reenacting a Miami bar fight a while ago, but for some reason we forgot its brilliance until a commenter on The Daily Swarm brought up Jose’s name today. Watch the video to the end.
“My brother went BAM BAM, broke both their faces. Fight’s over.”

Then we remembered Jose Canseco’s Baseball Camp: little boys showering and Jose explaining how to “do some drills.” Bumbling stuttery at its absolute best. And it’s a six-part series.

Semi-formal at the gun range
Are semi-formal trips to the Pennsylvania shooting range all the hot rage right now?
We’ve got PHTHRD II competitor Elizabeth Weinberg and her friends looking like they might make a speech at Parliament after they empty a few clips.
And today we see LVHRD member Nora Geiss and her friends cradling Glocks in cocktail dresses.
The owners of these shooting ranges (is it the same range?) will talk about these strangers for years to come, 100% absolutely guaranteed–the same way they talk about the film crew that came through wanting to know…
Wiimbledon II: Heavy Wiimbledon Parking Lot
Last June at Barcade, Wiimbledon, the world’s only Wii Tennis Tournament, came kicking and swinging into the world.
This year it’s going on tour. Like a band.
Leaving NYC the first week of June, Wiimbledon founders Steve Bryant and Lane Buschel, plan to cover 3000 miles of middle America in a Wiinnebago, throwing mini tennis tournaments along the way, and arrive in SF for the Wii finale on the Summer Solstice, June 21st, the weekend before the real Wimbledon.
Steve and Lane will pilot the Wiinnebago themselves, but they hope to…
Skate Uganda
Uganda’s first skatepark has been up and running for more than year now in Kitintale. Donations will help build the next one. The kids are psyched. Heelflips all over your face.

Ax Men: bringing your life more spinning blades than ever before
We might have been at the forefront of this lumberjack craze with ARCH DL IV, but the History Channel is hot on our heels with AX MEN, an American original in HD.
The “American Original in HD” part is apparently an attempt to brand logging as part of Manifest Destiny, which it is, so…
The show follows a four companies of “tree fallers” as they deforest the Pacific Northwest, showing off the “paper cuts” that have left them with prosthetic arms, 9 toes and steel plates at various critical…
Holy Mother of God Super Bowl XLVXIIV is on Sunday
Which mythical team of super-oxen will crush the other into groveling sobs of wretched defeat in front of 10 million people?
The way the Super Bowl is branded makes it so obvious we hunger for the return of crusader armies and civil war picnics: Bill Belichick pacing the sidelines like some old smoke-breathed general. Give the man a horse. Give him Traveller.
This does not mean we don’t enjoy football. Quite the opposite. Just call it what it is: play-war.
So where does one get down with…
Idiotarod: calling all hipster lumberjacks
The annual Idiotarod shopping cart race is coming to Brooklyn this weekend.
Teams of 5 will mush their way across Long Island in a wintry mix for cash prizes and the sense of pride that comes with getting up at 6am and performing a physically demanding task for the first time in 17 years. The last time most of these people ran a race anywhere was when they were 10 and vomited on the soccer field during the fourth grade mile run.
Teams are encouraged to turn their carts into trains, pirate…
Insane lumberjack competitions
Apparently the 3 rules de jour for lumberjack competitions are “the more blades the better,” “the faster people are moving with those blades the better” and “the more off-balance people are while moving quickly holding blades the better.”
Run and Cut. This is the kind of thing you stumble on while on vacation in Huntington Beach. In that setting it looks perfectly normal. Then you go back home and think, “What the hell were those people doing on that pier?”

Pope’s Sport Barbarians
Thirty-two days until SuperBowl XLII explodes all over Arizona at the 73,000+ University of Phoenix Stadium. Pick a noun, add -GASM to the end and that’s what it’s going to be.
You can see LVHRD member Paul Pope’s rendition of the impending festivities in the upcoming Feb 08 issue of GQ. Here it is now, via his Flickr page.
The Polyurethane Cottage Industry, Part Two
Part two of the “The Polyurethane Cottage Industry” concludes my middle school-search for skateboard glory and picks up the trail of skate design in hip-hop and the gastronomical arts. I have almost written myself into buying another board. Read Part One.
OLLIE UP
Calling skateboarding’s rise to prominence meteoric would not be accurate. Though infiltration of skate culture into mainstream media may seem like osmosis, it has taken nearly 40 years for skateboarding to get a substantial monetary foothold.
The companies who approached the kids skating drought-ridden swimming pools in Orange…
