Whoa,dude. They Have Mothers in Paris? jk.
Who took that group shot? Self timer or some gnome that carries your bags in exchange for Toy Machine brand socks.
Dammit,why do you always have to go to London. Makes me want to go.well,someday. Then you can look at my blog when you're old and decrepit. Eat it,geezer.jk Well,today I finally went and bought Strangeways,Here We Come from a record store. I stole that off the internet like a couple of years ago. There's my news.
C'est Chaude;or Je Suis Chaude to say you're aroused. An American is running around with a boner.
Woman aren't Handsome,they're Beautiful. Unless you're into that kinda stuff,then I respect your life choices. Just kidding,I talk shit about minorities in my Bible Study group. Just kidding, I only go for the free crackers and Juice. Just kidding,I keep lying.
Don't listen to me.
Meg White is pretty cute. Someone told me I looked like Jack White. Weird. I had sunglasses and I combed/styled my hair that day.

I made today's post while listening to this song:

That's warts.
I louvre the louvre. Not really.
I prefer D'Orsay.

at first i thought the london eye was some sort of stargate or atom splitter

Did anyone else get free socks and stickers. YOU RULE ED.

So worth almost getting raped right. Jk.

pont des arts !!!! ed

i was with baz & joshy in copenhagen we had mad fun
r u still in paris?

2 days of day?
Gnarly. Like Alaska, but opposite?

Reppin' Toy socks allll day.

Gonna go off-roading in a little bit in Silverado, CA.
Silverado, to me, is like Catalina to you.
Nothing but hippies, small town feel, beards, plaid, & dirt trails for miles.

jgonz: about the farting in europe thing being more "socially advanced." I have to disagree. I'm coming to the conclusion that a lot of europeans have a secret fasinaction/admiration for the american way of life. Even if it is a bit sympathetic.

I'm psyched.

Yaa, I want want a plaid kilt.
I don't wear shorts at all, but a kilt would be awesome.

Post your address man.
And why isn't hemlock on the sock team blog.

You can post it here, I did and haven't been raped.................... yet.

pretty sure you can just submit stuff to the sock team site. I am working on something so Ed will be like "oh that guy is ok enough to be on my sock team" myself. GET SOME DREW!

But really, I didn't do shit and my names on the blog.

the sock team is not really real. it just started as a joke from the lurkers. submit something in the comments on the blog and I'll add it. and also, its not really affiliated with Toy Machine other than the fact that ed acknowledges it. Sock Team Pride For Life. i feel lame now

The Sock Team would like to thank Ed for his genorosity, kindness and, most of all, his transparency within the Skateboard world (and art world), which is quite the contrary. Maybe this is why he continues to sell more boards than his contemporaries, even if he is kinda crusty.

*SOCK TEAM MEMBERS: Shouldn't these newbs comment for a certain amount of time before they can assume they're on this "sock team" thingy? I've been seeing alot new names on these comment boards...

NOOBIES: TINSTAAFL
If you're 17 & older, didn't Econ fucking suck?

Have you even given your life to the Machine? Have you backed down from your leader, the Man, to join something that earns you free socks?

This shit's gonna turn into a cult.
JGonz for head master cult leader/entertainer, Vinny for wise man & voice of reason, me for agriculture & handiness, John for child labor, Everyone else is scum, & need to work their way up. Ed is the overlord, of course, but we need to start wearing eyeliner. Sorry.

post this on the sock team:

http://bit.ly/aw0sSC

actually I have been watching and idolizing Ed since I was in middle school in a shit hole town wehre there was no skating. That was until in the mid nineties or whatever when my older sister and her friends started smoking more pot and skateboarding. Then I got into it because I hated kids my age and loved skateboarding before I even knew what an ollie was. time passed and I got into Sonic Youth and was pushing this wood around and then oh look, Heavy Metal, Welcome to Hell. there is this other guy who listens to sonic youth and skates and he's into art. wowie. So I mean I quit skating as I got older then one day after a soul crushing job at a bank- I realized Ed Templeton was coming into the town I had just moved to. I was so overcome and seeing him re-ignited that fire and I have been skateboarding and quit my job. Sure I miss the old line ups, but it seems that Toy Machine has its fair share of line ups.

I dont know just saying. If you want me off this board, then let me know. I just was happy to see that even though I got old and started to hate life there was something that would make me not hate it.

Sorry for the intrusion or whatever

The Sock Team takes an Anarchist approach. Whoever push and shoves the most gets their way,unless you're a total pacifist hippie that I can control by not accepting your vibes. Then no beef.Jk.

I'm guessing there's a quote out there somewhere;but whenever money(or any material gain) is involved,people turn rotten.

Are you talking about Economics class? Dude, I got a solid A in that class. My teacher gave me good grades and shit. He was also a super Republican right wing dude,but at least he backed his claims up with logic instead of pulling the God card. Anyway,my Econ and Civics class were both pretty good,A plused.

Anyway,Danny,sorry to hear about your soul sucking job. I think I'm almost at that stage in my life. Getting a job and that stuff. Oh,and don't forget when Ed was super skinny and wore Highwater Dickies.Classic.
I think Eggs has created the most Children here. I myself stand at 0.
mad props to my boi-e Hemlock drew. If you were beside me I'd give you a knuckle pound. Dawg-scrizzle....I think talking in faux ebonics stopped being funny around the later 2007.

lol oh alright.

this looks like a man drowning in water /o/

I'm done with my job. Growing my hair out and going to school for graphic art & design this fall. Yay.

I'm going to buy a Toy deck and throw my tie collection out. Yay.

I started a blog and I am going to start throwing props to Toy. Yay.

Sorry for drama mex. you can cry right on to this rag I fashioned out of some plaid shorts. yay.

Dont break a mexican heart. It never heals correctly.

Stick that in your Corrido Del Sock Team. Ahua!!

44 comments, holy shit, well now 45. I need to stop coming here so much. Actually no, we need a new post. I don't care what your doind, post it.

I'm in Italy with no way to blog, out in the middle of Sardinia (google map that shit) town called Nuoro. My hotel, the museum, none of them have computers good enough to blog from!!!! I'm bummed! You guys need to relax. When I get home I will ask for more addresses for Sock-Team hook ups. All OG sock teamers will get socks.
