Huzzah! Anagrams!

A Mantra At Hookers (for Aaron Thomas Retka)
Karate Roan
Orate An Ark
A Roar At Ken

I highly suggest you tap into your destiny by doing your own name. As for me, I'm off to find that bastard Ken and let him have it.

A huge nod of gratitude to the City Parks Department and, more importantly, the skaters who effectively lobbied them to hire a real, skater-owned design and build company. As opposed to a fake one.

So a hearty welcome to our newest bloggers, Megan Tidd and Jeremy Grobsmith.

Megan is leaving in a few days for an 18-month trip around the world, so we hope to harness photos, anecdotes and possible malaria from her while she's traveling.

Jeremy is the author of our monthly CSenester column in the print edish. He will probably provide links to videos of people crumping.

Looks like George W. has something else in common with al Qaeda.

They both have a fondness for executing the mentally retarded.

The Joker is dead. Long live the Joker.

Heath Ledger was found dead in his hotel room about an hour ago.

Creepy genius, expat dead at 64.

Bobby Fischer is dead.

Shrill, shallow harpies come to the big screen! Finally!

Yes, it's the fucking Sex and the City trailer.
