the jackassworld news for friday, october 31st

And so, as the harvest season draws to a close, so does another half-ass work week here at jackassworld. Before getting into any questionably newsworthy details, though, I’d first like to apologize for the live show miscarriage this past Wednesday. Despite our best intentions the Halloween-themed edition of the jackassworld live show never panned out due to technical complications with our Ustream connection. We might have made up for this live shortcoming on Thursday or Friday, but we had other more important matters at hand to deal with, first and foremost filming with Eddie Barbanell. Consequently, look forward to seeing lots of stuff with Eddie here in the office, the first politically-charged bit of which will post up this weekend just in time for the upcoming election here in the US of A. And on that note, a select few of us (excluding Wolfie) would like to thank everyone in the community who stepped up to voice support for our proposed skate track—with pump bumps!—here in the office. Arrangements have since been made for JxPx Blackmon and his crew to begin construction on the skate track in mid-November. Fuck yeah! Hook would be proud.

The sign above, appropriated by an anonymous party, has been tacked up all over the streets of Hollywood in preparation for tonight’s Halloween festivities. Apparently city officials have taken extreme precautionary measures after viewing the footage of Rick Kosick going out of his gourd following a run of the mill encounter with a seemingly innocent can of Silly String here at jackassworld. So, in advance of having to call in a military airstrike on a raging crowd of PCP-like berserkers on Hollywood Boulevard, police have been granted the authority to levy $1,000.00 fines on any individual caught wielding a can of this highly dangerous and illicit substance. Way to go, Josh!

Next week, Sign of the Fox will be hosting another live webcast from the cozy confines of Handsome Jack’s residence on Wednesday, November 5th, at 8:30pm PST, all you Greenwich Meaners be damned and then some.
