ELBOW ROOM
My granny asked me what I want
ed for my birthday so I told her I
wanted some pads (I meant elbow
pads). Anyway, at birthday time I
opened the box from granny and it
was a protection cup. Now every.
body knows me for my dumb look
ing elbow pad.

DAZED AND CONFUSED
On New Year's Eve I went to a
bash at a fellow skater's house.
There were three girls for every
guy. I got hammered. I passed out
on my friend's bed and slept the
whole night. When I woke up, my
pants, underwear, socks, etc., were
all gone. There was a big bull's-eye
drawn in black permanent marker
on my butt. I think you can guess
what was in the middle. The bull's
eye was not the only prank, my
eyebrows were shaved off. There
was a note taped to my skate and it
read, "A man is not a man until he
has kissed the lips that do not
speak. William Shakespeare. I
have told no one of this sick prank,
and was wondering if you could
help me make sense of it.

I was wondering, are nollies just
switchstance fakie ollies or are
fakie ollies switchstance nollies?
And what are Samoan squats?

Same difference. A Samoan squat
is either a wrestling move or a two
footed nose wheelie in a crouching
position. Take your pick. T-ed
TIME TUNNEL
I drop skating for two years, come
back to it now and what do I see
but plastic bottoms, wheels smaller
than mouse shit and boards with no
shape at all. The only good thing is
the nose, it's a lot higher and longer
than it used to be. But what the hell
has gone wrong? Have all the com-
panies formed a secret alliance and
cloned every board?

MAMA'S BOY
I am yet another concerned and
caring mother who refuses to let
her son read your magazine. It is
quite disgusting for anybody, much
loss a young boy. That last issue
really did it. From front page to last,
it was vulgar and bordering on
pornographic. My son is fifteen and
he agrees your magazine is out of
control. But I am also concerned
about the younger kids, ten to
eleven years old, that may see and
read this junk. I am also talking to
my son's friend's parents and they
too have pulled and burned any
copies of Thrasher. Why don't you
just clean it up? Go against the tide
of moral decadence and make this
magazine more worthwhile and
uplifting to society as a whole!

ME GENERATION
I am sick of looking in your maga-
zine and seeing all these porn star
women. It is very offending and dis-
graceful. Instead of putting these
half-naked women in your maga-
zine, put some pictures of me in. I'll
pose in my bikini then the maga-
zine will be more enjoyable.
