Remember way back to November 2006 – those were easier times where I didn’t have to hear the terms “better economic manager” and “the buck stops with me” fifty fucking times a day! For those who don’t own a radio/TV/newspaper, I’m talking about Rudd/Howard repeating those phrases… over and over …

British Airways Ban Surfboards… Then un-ban them!
Apparently the UK’s flag carrier, British Airways, made a decision earlier this year that as of November 6th they would no longer be accepting surfboards on their flights. According to their website, which still lists them as being banned items, it has to do with the “size and complexity” of …
World Snowboarding Day!
World Snowboard Day is happening this Sunday December 23rd! While I support the thrust of the movement, a little consideration by EuroSIMA and the World Snowboard Federation for their southern hemisphere brothers and sisters wouldn’t have gone astray.

Ah, bikini girls and snowboarding. They go hand in hand, just ask Reef and the kids over at Snowboard-Mag. To tell you the truth, I’m one of the few remaining people left who still haven’t tried Lib Tech’s Magne-Traction and am still a little skeptical about a jagged edge on …

Coal at Fashion Exposed
