Natt Besser did some really good prank calls

Posted in Random Funniness on August 11th, 2009 by corpo

Several years ago my friend Turkey D (RIP) brought in the mp3s for this cd of pranks and we laughed our asses off at every one of them.  Just look at this pretense:

From the CD liner:Every day for a year, Matt Besser answered around a dozen “wrong number” phone calls made to his apartment. These strangers believed they were calling a technical support operator in Houston, Texas, but actually they had neglected to dial the 1 before the area code. Instead of instructing his fellow Manhattanites of the honest mistake they had made, he decided to help them with their computer problems and record their phone calls. Just to make sure that what goes around comes around.

And remember, they called him.

Four of the mp3s are on this page here.  Sooooo funny.

skate journal: Downtown Denver with Chris Jones (Aug 10, 2009)

Posted in Skate Journal on August 11th, 2009 by corpo

After hitting Meta and 303 I met up with Chris Jones and his buddy Cody at the new art museum with all the fun benches with gaps.  Chris was ripping out of the gates.  I was just about getting warmed up when security came and kicked us out.  We rolled around to a few spots and I was tired and sucking.  Chris was able to wallie the weird slanted bank/ledges good and almost ollie a fire hydrant.  We ended up at the weird elevated narrow bank spot where I continued to suck and had no energy.  Chris did a run with a nosebonk on one then a front 180 wallride frontside halfcab out.  Cool.  We headed out, but decided to play a game of SKATE on the way.  We ended up playing a few.  The first one Chris won easy with tricks like nollie heel, varial heel and other cool stuff.  The second game he had S and I had SKAT.  He had me with tricks like switch flip, nollie flip, nollie varial heel and something else.  But out of the blue I landed a bunch of tricks.  Fakie varial flip, frontside halfcab flip, treflip, nollie treflip, varial flip and fakie bigflip which took him out.  My best game of SKATE in awhile.  Awesome.  We had a tie breaker game of no complies that we kinda ended up just giving up on, but Chris prolly won it.  It’s alway nice losing a game of no comply skate to someone 15 years younger then you.
