22.Nov.2010 USB Ports in Cars

I own several devices that charge off of USB cables through my computer. I’m sure millions of other people have at least one. Which begs the question why doesn’t every car built in the last three years have a USB port so i can charge these devices on the road?

Never mind the adaptors you have to buy to work through the cigareete lighter. I want one that uses the cables I already own. Is that too much to ask Big Auto?

09.Sep.2010 The Most Solid Facial Ever

I have a couple of friends named Mattress and Jay. They’re brothers. They like whiskey and rum. They’re basically two of the coolest guys you could ever hope to call friends. They also occasionally send out some very cool stuff. If the two of them shared a blog and sold advertising stuff, they’ed be making serious bank. But they couldn’t be bothered, so we’re gonna start a new category on elbowLick dedicated to their finds. I’m calling it From the Lambs.

We’re starting this off with a little tidbit from Jay. And it’s a beauty. Enjoy.

Seedless, luckily

30.Aug.2010 What the fuck is wrong with surfing?

I’m watching the ridiculously small waves of the Billabong Pro at Teahupoo, and Jordy just did a judo air, on his back hand. Maybe get a browser open with a wikipedia page open or something. Or one of Billabong’s skate team on skype, that could work. What’s Bucky Lasek up to right now? It’s the highlight of the first round, maybe even the week of lay days the contest has been plagued by. A big, perfect move over ridiculously dangerous reef. The commentators don’t know what to call it, the judges don’t know how to score it. They’re calling it the first one ever done in competition. Manoa Drollet and CJ Hobgood get typical barrels and the judges are screwed, cos they have no idea how to compare the old school’s barrels with what Jordy just did.

Where is the dillemma? A move never done at this break, done practically to perfection, followed by turns as good as anyone else. Jordy just did something no-one else can do, and yet Manoa is right behind him with a mediocre barrel and turn in the smallest swell you could possibly run a Teahupoo contest in. The judges have given Jordy the lead, but it seems almost grudging.

Kustom Footwear offer up $50 000 for a single move, and when Chippa Wilson submits a backhand bigspin some surf media refer to it as a 360
