…”Never on schedule, but always on time.”

Recently:

If you see JMar and his new sneakers try to play it cool. Sure they maybe mango snakeskin Nikes, but he is still good ol’ Justin. He now knows what it feels like to be a chick who is coming correct, with everybody looking down first before they look at your face. So show some respect & check out Jmar’s face first…. then peep the new sneakers.

JMar's face & JMar's ice cream

Mmmm... Mango snakeskin.

 Saturday:

Jason has a POS for a vehicle and it broke down in Big Bear last time he went snowboarding. On Saturday we drove up there to load it up on a flatbed. We should have pushed it into the lake but Jason is convinced that it still has some value. Personally I think leaving his car up there was just an excuse to get Baker’s. He is a sucker for that spicy ketchup.

Sunday:

JMar is on the up and up, while Chase & O’Connor take a steady step back. Battle at Berrics: Round two goodness via Koston/Donavan & Biebel/Billy Marks. Peep the games then peep the standings.

Monday:

Guess who is part of the 2/3′s demographic?

*IMPORTANT UPDATE* (The following is of an event retold as experienced first hand. Crazy as shit maybe, but definitely true.)

Now I am not even really sure about how to start this, but we were just visited by man we believe to be a time traveler! The entire experience was completely mind boggling and awesome beyond belief. A man walks into the shop running some hip looking Converse sneakers while sporting a sherpa lined corduroy jacket…., lookin sort of busted but at the same time fashionably tattered. After looking around for a minute he comes across the Libtech cardboard bananna cutout and proceeds to carry it around under his arm. After making his way to the new Nixon case he sees the Watto Star Wars action figure and requests that we must sell it to him, fore it is exactly what he has been looking for since forever. By the time he is ready to check out he is holding a cardboard bannana, a plastic Watto, and a Baker G-Code t-shirt. Then suddenly he sees something on the wall that he must have… The Liberty Magic Machine 4th Dimension approved skateboard deck… We tell him that it’s not really for sale in which he answers “Not even for $1000″. So I tell him if you give me 1000 bucks you can definetly have the board. So the man whips out the check book and asks the date and asks who to make the check out to. I tell him the date is the 19th, only to be shocked that instead he wrote 1/1/1899! I interject and let him know that he has written the wrong date for which he replies “Its ok, the bank has been around for 1000′s of years and there is nothing to worry about, I started the bank.” He suddenly realizes that he is running late and “must get back to the smoke” so he offers $2000 while hastily trying to leave. We let him know that $1000 is more than enough. “Time is of the essence, time is of the essence!” So he signed the check, handed it over, and made his way out across the parking lot. The check was signed Smokin’ Wolf….

He is obviously hip to the game in that he is aware of banana boards and “bought” the G-Code t-shirt, but the fact that he must have the Liberty Magic Machine seemed to show that this guy knows something… Justin is convinced the man was from the past or future and needs these items to bring back to a time where they are not present, and at this point it might be hard to argue. The photos are pretty classic, but I’m sure this won’t be the last time we hear from Smokin’ Wolf. (photos by Cliff).
