MAROONED MARINE
I'm a 22-year-old marine
from Hilo, Hawaii, I skate
hardcore whenever I'm not
surfing, but right now I'm in
Saudi Arabia in the middle
of Operation Desert Shield.
There are no waves in the
Persian Gulf and I'd surely
get in a lot of trouble if my
wife Rosanne sent my skate.
Hopefully, I'll be back in the
State's soon, but until then I'd
like to ask Thrasher readers
to dedicate a killer skate
session to all the troops in the
Middle East who love to skate
but have no choice.

EXPECTANT SHREDDER
I am six months pregnant and it
really shows. The added weight
really affects my ollies and any
other tricks for that matter. What
will I do for the next three months?
Can you imagine not skating for
that long? I mean, snowboarding is
just around the corner and this
could really affect airs. Can you
help? One more thing, T-ed, I'd like
you to be the godfather.

BROTHER BART
You were pretty rough on Bart
Simpson in your November issue.
You should pick on someone your
own size. So what if the brat is
making more money than you will
in the next thirty years?
Do you honestly think the big
network board members are going
to have Bart fumbling around trying
to do tic-tacs when they hope to
beat the pants off the Cosby
Show? No. They want amazing.
spectacular feats that will
enrapture their viewers. It comes
as no surprise that Snoopy did all
the work. After
all, that beagle has been ripping
since at least 1968, so he'd better
be good.
As far as Bart's head inflating like
a balloon, this is only to be expec
ted of an eight-year-old. But
leaving his board in front of the
theatre was definitely a stoner
move. Bart should seek some help
to deal with this sudden stardom.
Look at what it did to Drew Barry-
more, Brooke Shields, and, least of
all, Patty Duke.
You should feel sorrow for the
poor sod, not indignation. Help him
through this rough spot, don't
shoot him down. After all, Bart is
still human, even if he isn't really
drawn like one.

GRANDPA'S LEGACY
The "Somethin' Else" in the
November issue was important to
me. See, in 1987 my grandfather
died. When my family attended his
funeral, I looked in the trunk of my
Grandpa's car and there for me lay
my first real board. I guess he was
planning to give it to me when he
died. I haven't stopped skating
since that day.

PHRASES, MAZES & HAZES
There is always a funky phrase
right before the address of Mail
Drop. Here are some I invented
that could be used.
Send all:
-bats, cats and toothless rats.
-trash, hash and overflow cash.
-towers, showers and ship-
wrecked Mayflowers.
-mops, funky tops and cus-
tom eyedrops.
-faces, aces and orthopedic
braces.
