Back in the Xtreme days, former Rollerblade employee Chris Morris developed a shoe with a plate in the sole for grinding rails and curbs. This video oNe was a showcase.

I wanted these more than life itself, but they eventually disappeared from shelves and skateboards had to suffice.

The End of the World (also known as End of Ze World) is a Flash animated viral video created by Jason Windsor of Albino Blacksheep in 2003. A copy of the animation uploaded by Albino Blacksheep to YouTube in 2008 had approximately 14 million views before being abandoned in favor of a higher-resolution version.

Around the time the video was created, the United States invaded Iraq, which ultimately led to the Iraq War. In an interview with the Daily Dot in 2017, Windsor said "I don't know that I really thought that the world was going to end ... I guess that was kind of the first time I sort of had to comprehend that [the possession of nuclear weapons by foreign countries]."

A friend recommended I try the chicken and I laughed for a bit about the site. Had to post here.

BG was sponsoring the Atlanta Olympics that year, and some marketing person thought it would be a fun idea to put our home state on name badges as kind of a US ambassador-like gesture I guess for all the extra visitors the parks expected.

I don't know if we saw an increase in visitors that year. Williamsburg is like a 12 hour drive from Atlanta. But I did have one guy complain to me about the Italian food we sold in the cafeteria, that it was horrid, and his wife was Italian, and she couldn't eat this. Almost 30 years later and I still remember that guy. Why was he remotely expecting decent food at a theme park? I have no idea. And I still have Funiculì, Funiculà running through my head on occasion. Thanks BG.

Shoutout to Mr. and Mrs. "E" for their upstairs and downstairs VCRs always set to the correct time.

Related Question: What is the 2025 equivalent to this?

I remember this was a huge phenomenon when it came out and people were recording it on their home VCR's and playing it back frame by blurry frame. News programs reported on it. Serious people discussed the reasons why they thought it was fake, as though it wasn't just grainy footage of a plaster dummy stuffed with spiced meats.

It sparked a genuine debate about whether we were alone in the universe, and what that would mean for human beings. It's really amazing how easy it was to pull off such an obvious hoax and full a lot of people.
