Monthly Archives: January 2005

Usually being Canadian is something to be proud of, and then there are times when you’re just ashamed. Thanks to Skateboarding Sucks for the link.

This photo came my way the other day. It was entitled “QC Legends”. There’s some truth to it. Featured are Van Peebles, BAM, and Geesus himself. Damn this city has flavor. Gotta love the indoor.

You’ve probably been staving for an update, and wondering what the hell is going on. Me too. I hate computers right about now. If any of you know me at all, you’d realize how profound that statement is.

Remember our free shoe giveaway? Well, January has been such a hectic time down here at the Tiki Room, so much so that we forgot to give away a free pair at the start of the month. In light of such events, on February first, we’ll be giving away two pairs of shoes (but not to the same person, you greedy lil’ bastard). Free shoes. What a treat.

Quote of the Week
“POS? What does that stand for? Piece of shit?” – Chris White

Man, life sure can throw some irony at you sometimes. In my last post (scroll down if you can’t remember), I was giving hats off to a legend, was talking about nice guys, and mentioning that a shaka should have been thrown in there somehow. Low and behold, I get a photo emailed to me today. It’s from the past weekend’s ASR in San Diego. It features a nice guy, Mr. Zev Klymochko (representing the boys from Winterpeg and the 204, and who is likely equally as hairy as Pytlyk), and a legend in skateboarding, Holmes himself, Mr. Christian Hosoi (who just happens to throwing up the aforementioned hand gesture). You’d think I had planned this one or something.

Quote of the Day
“And I want insert your Golden TIKI” – Tomonori from Tokyo

You’d think that while we are in a cold snap like this, we’d be updating the site like crazed banana wieding apes. But alas, that has not been the case. While few are dropping their hard earned Bordens, we are still busy tending to other important things.

Isn’t it dope when someone comes out of the blue with something so sick that your hear jaws hitting the floor?

Pele was one of those guys. Hats off to the legends.

Memory Lane #9

You know how you can skate with people for a while and not even know their names? That’s just how skating is. Once we (QCHC) were skating the Cornwall Street parkade basement in the dead of winter (this was before the indoor park). We had met Rob just recently and he was on the mission with us. We asked Rob about his last name, and he was very stand-offish. We couldn’t figure out why until he told us. I still feel bad to this day, as Rob is a really nice guy. We tried, but couldn’t hold back the laughter. I’m sure there was some Baby Duck in the mix there somewhere. Inebriation makes you do dickish things. Sorry, Rob.

After reviewing the last two photos, I should be throwing in some shaka photos or some of Kirsti Allie flipping the bird or something. The staff party pics should fill that void. Coming soon to a website near you.

Thanks to the guys over at Momentum for the link from their website. We appreciate it. Thanks to C-mac for the heads up.

Quotes of the Day
“The world is ending.” – Trent Moen

“Where is Liam? Did he die?” – Fernandez

Dill wants you to know that Jennifer Aniston is up for grabs, but he has dibs on Brad Pitt.

No we haven’t updated the site in a number of days. We needed a break after all of that holiday commotion. Not to woory. More stuff to come. Likely no video clips though, as we exceeded our bandwith for the second month in a row! Woo hoo!

Quote of the Day
“Cmac is a fucken legend in Saskatoon. He’d sell out a concert faster than Hilary Duff.” – Owen

Kool-Aid would like to extend his best for you and your family in the new year.
