NAVAL NO-NO
I'm a twenty-year-old male in the
United States Navy, and the
stupidest thing happened last
week. I got a ticket for skating on a
military installation, which they say
is prohibited because if I wipe-out
and break a limb or something, it is
considered damaging government
property. FTNI

for-to protect truth, justice and the

ESOTERIC DIGRESSION
I came across a nauseating letter
appropriately titled "Hypo Squirt"
and signed "Mike 'the Brain'
Peoples. I assume Mr.
Brain intended his babbling
of incoherent, multi-syllabic
words to be an impressive
display of his vocabulary
that would give weight to
his unsubstantiated claim
that Thrasher is bonfire
material. His feeble
walking out in front of your house
and skating your curb. Or going
over to a parking lot and practicing
railslides and grinds on a parking
block. You can turn a simple picnic
bench into a skate extravaganza.
So quit complaining and go skate!

VOLCANIC ERUPTION
A few days ago I saw a show
with these two kids trying to light
up this volcano. One of them runs
over to his dad's garage and gets
some gas. He pours it in and
Boom! (Did I tell you the volcano
was on a mini?) One of the kids
got burned bad and the ramp got
torched. What a waste.
Wish we had a ramp like that

TEACHER THEIVER
I was sitting in piano class
reading the latest Thrasher. All of
the sudden, my teacher grabs it
and whacks me on the head. I was
not stoked. I felt swindled. This
week she already got four
Thrashers, one Surfer, one Metal
Edge, one set of Swiss bearings,
one set Mini-Rats and my
Slayer/Trixter concert tickets.

E-Z READER
I think your magazine is cool. I
can't wait to see your new issue
come out. I have a couple of
issues, but mostly I read them in
the stores.

HALL MONITOR
I was getting my skate out of my
locker and it fell and rolled across
the hall. This Spanish
attempt at rhetoric failed. In Joe Stalwick, Quinebaug, CT
fact, he only succeeded in making
himself look like a pretentious ass
without an iota of taste in fine
skateboarding literature. I suggest
that he go play butt darts with his
thesaurus and leave skating and
skate mags to men who can
intelligibly articulate their thoughts.

NO WHINERS
For all you so-called skaters who
complain about not having any
good skate spots, why don't you try
teacher that doesn't speak English
started yelling at me. He said, "If I
see that skate again, I will
confiscate it." He went back to his
room and I continued to get brain-
damaging homework supplies..
After class, he grabbed his
suitcase and came outside again.
He saw me. When I refused to
give up my skate, he yelled some
more. I calmly walked to the vice-
principal's office (Satan, Hitler and
George Bush rolled into one) to
explain myself in case the raving
lunatic came in later. It turns out
