Oh brother, here we go again. another cop flips on a 14-yr old kid for “talking back” to him (basically calling him ‘dude’) and throws the kid to the ground. I just can’t believe how angry this man is at a bunch of kids. He’s a city (Baltimore) cop for christ’s sake! the officer is currently being suspended WITH pay.
Being from the midwest, I actually find it nostalgic to indulge myself in a little Chili’s or Outback sometimes. Pure kitsch. You can’t tell me that you didn’t have a good time at the Time’s Square Olive Garden or Red Lobster. There’s something about being so bad, it’s actually good. But looking at this recent analysis from Men’s Health, I might think twice about getting the bloomin’ onion. Some of these appetizers have 2900 calories! 200g of fat! I must admit, I would have thought the Chipotle Grilled Chicken Burrito would be relatively healthy. Anyone have favorites on this list? Suprised by the numbers?
For skateboarding, I’ve always stayed away from Nike’s and gone with the more “core” skate shoes, like Emerica or Etnies. But it’s hard to ignore impact the giant is having on the skateboarding industry. They revamped the staple ‘Dunk’ with a thicker tongue and elastic straps, an ollie guard, and more cushioning to create the Dunk SB. They do have other styles, but the Dunk remains the most popular. It transcends other skateboarding shoes and creates a cult classic with its limited supply and varation in colorways. Some of the colors make my stomach turn, but Nike did one thing right: SB’s are only available at participating skate shops. KCDC in Williamsburg is one local place or check out online shops, like Active Mail Order. I’m not ready to get on the wagon just yet, but these dunks with the plush pink lining look perfect for that cold weather session.
