Ever heard of Weird NJ magazine? You know why it exists? 'Cuz NJ is fuckin' weird, that's why. And Weird NJ was the first of the Weird magazines and stuff. We are OG weird here in NJ. All you other states that now have Weird mags are just imitating our weirdness. The word "weird" starts to look really really weird the more you look at it. Weird weird weird. Here's a few examples of NJ weirdness from my last few days:
"Skaters Only" sign hanging on the wall in TGI Fridays. What fuckin' trick is this anyway? Frontside 180 to switch firecracker? Some sort of new stair manuever? Maybe the dude is ollieing up and nosebashing into the step. Will we ever know? Frightening that someone got paid to design this and then Fridays actually paid to own it.

Someone left a comment here wanting more footy of Timothy O'Connor skating mini ramp. Good thing we don't have many parks to lurk at out here in Dirty Jerz and have to hit the same ones over and over, 'cuz your holiday wish came true. Enjoi.
Speaking of videos, have you subscribed to my podcasts yet? If not, do it now!

This comment came in yesterday on an older Gino post I had put up. I guess there's no true way to tell if it is really from Gino's sister, but it seems pretty legit. And if it is, thanks for checking in and letting us know what's up, Nancy. Anyone hating on Gino is just flat-out lame in my book. Gino was, is, and always will be my favorite skateboarder of all time.

After reading some of these comments, I am bothered by the "lazy bastard" remark. I am Gino's sister and I can say for certain that he is all about skateboarding through and through, but there comes a time in your life when it gets harder to jump on the board as you did when you were 21. He feels it is time to give it up to the younger crowd now. Believe me, this decision has been extremely hard for him. And it has taken a toll on him. As far as "giving up all of his sponsors," this is not entirely true as of yet. He is still with Nike and I see that Chocolate still counts him in as a member since he is still advertized on their site. I know I can't control critics and it is unrealistic to expect to try, but I would ask that you think before you intend to write ignorant remarks, especially if you don't Gino personally.
Thanks,
Nancy Iannucci

Lurking Jerz for the holidays. Hooked up with Tim O'Connor and his new mini dalmatian with a broken leg named Diesel. Then got some indoor mini footy for ya, East Coast winter-style.

Saw this one on SkateDaily and it got me thinking...unless Ellington was 100% fucking with her, there's no way in hell he said this to a reporter:
"I just did the tricks out in the street … dark slides and Casper slides and stuff like that," the Hollywood resident said. "And keeping it real in the streets."
Can you believe Leslie Earnest, or anyone from the LA Times for that matter, actually gets paid to write like horseshit like this? Scary to think that...
