St. Patrick's Day

It's just stupid how some people forgot to wear green and then use a green marker to have "green" on them...

They Ruined Carson

A simple event by the Boys and Girls Club of Carson turned into a chaos.
The event eventually got shut down because of some juvenile kids acting up.

Finally, Nike releases something good, but with very limited pairs...
Was scrapped in 06 and now being release to selected stores. The line for this will be super ridiculous. People might be camping out for them 1 week or 5 days before it's release.

The Nike Dunk SB High - Gucci was originally a part of the Team Manager series. The Gucci’s were designed by the people at Girl skateboards. Since Girl is part of Crailtap, wich also includes Lakai, their shoemaking buddies weren’t too happy that their woodmaking friends would do a collaboration with a company that also sells limited skateshoes. So these will probably never come out. Only about 29 pairs exist worldwide.

Triskaidekaphobia

Triskaidekaphobia [triss-ka-deck-ah-phobia].
- Fear of the number 13.

In 1998 Friday the 13th appeared three times on the calendar, in February, March and November.
Now, in 2009, Friday the 13th will appear again on the same months as 1998 - February(passed already), March(today), and November(next).

Superstitions about Friday the 13th:

* Several tall office buildings do not have a 13th floor. Next time you’re in a tall building check whether or not your life is in danger by seeing if the elevator has a button for a 13th floor.
* Beware of Christening your children with 13 letter names. Some believe that people with such cursed names live notoriously bad or evil lives.
Examples: Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson.
* Sportsmen are notoriously superstitious and many teams avoid using the number 13 in their squads or teams. I’ll admit it’s never fun being the 13th man in a sports team.
* scary!One superstition is that if 13 people sit down to dinner together all of them will die within the year. One form of this legend dates back to the Norse god of mischief - Loki. The saga tells of Loki gate-crashing a party - bringing the number of guests to 13. To cut a long saga short, Balder the good was killed, and for this reason several Norwegians still believe that 13 at a dinner party is bad luck.
* There are 13 loaves of bread in a baker’s dozen. The extra loaf (presumably the runt of the litter) was baked as a special bribe for the devil not to spoil the batch of loaves.
* The number 13 plagued biblical times too. The book of Luke (chapter 22) tells us that there were 13 present at the Last Supper. There is also evidence that this Last Supper was held on a Friday, and is of course when Judas Iscariot threw a bread-loaf at Jesus.
* Some people (possibly Christian fanatics) are so afraid of Friday the 13th that they refuse to get out of bed or go to work on the cursed day. A study in the British Medical Journal in 1993 looked into the relationship between driving and road accidents in the UK on two separate Fridays: the 6th and the 13th.
