With the Simpsons movie fast approaching, Groening and the gang have left no stone unturned when it comes to capitalizing on the iconic cartoon’s last hurrah. The most fun (and life-consuming) ploy is the opportunity to create your own personalized Simpsons character through the movie website. And what better, fine, human specimens to experiment on than some of The Hundreds staff?
DAE HAN MIN GUK. The scene’s flourishing in South Korea, and the heads at KASINA are leading the charge, with multiple premium boutiques stocking the likes of us, Crooks, Situationormal, J.Money, Nike SB, and Vans Vault in the capital of Seoul.
Before Dan Ballou (Ballou Projects) made a name for himself as a leading industrial designer for the likes of Sharper Image and Yamaha, he used to be the only kid in my high school skate crew who had a car. And by car, I mean a beatdown red/white VW bus, gutted out so all the skate rats could barrel in and out of spots everyday after school. This was my first time seeing Dan in over a decade, and he still remembers how I used to draw Adam Bomb and other current TH t-shirt graphics back in my 9th-grade notebooks. Personally, I remember how we used to call him Dan(zig) for his waist-long hair, chanting the lyrics to “Mother” whenever he’d noseslide the gas station curbs.
It’s like a zoo in here sometimes. Literally.
Santee Alley discount lizards. Highly illegal and poisonous, but so much fun, that it cancels the bad parts out.
- Chic sunglasses. Indoors. Fights off screaming hypebeast groupies and the office’s fluorescent lightbulbs.
- Vintage ’90s-era Supreme t-shirt. You wish you had one, but YOU WEREN’T THERE.
- Cut-off shorts are definitely in this summer, but a $20 pair of Dickies is for unoriginal drones. Go big, yet obnoxiously laissez-faire, by reaming your Evisus. “Oh, these? I dunno, like $400? I used the scraps for toilet paper”
- Storyline-accompanied, upper-arm tattoo.
Great conversation-piece to woo inquisitive females from the dive bar to the carpool lane in a traffic jam. Lets ‘em know that you don’t even care anymore. Well, maybe you care just enough to show that you DON’T care.
- Strategically positioned cigarette behind ear, plus hat-brim crew stickers. Double-threat: Blacklung and backup.
Been-there-done-that guy. Check and respect:
- the tongue-in-cheek DVS boxers and …
- Freshjive buckle
Both from back in the day.
Where were you? Oh yeah. NOT BORN YET.
- Hot friends. Cool friends.

Oh, and the last thing you need to Be Cool is: you gotta be Jackson. That’s a pretty integral part of the equation.
Summer shorts, denim, and Celebrity Meltdown series buttons have been selling out at The Store. If you don’t get there soon, you’re bound to miss out, and then all your friends will think you have a small brain. Prove them wrong, you big-brained freak!
Skateboarders know that the annual Go Skateboarding Day is pretty much NO Skateboarding Day in the eyes of law enforcement. We’ve all had our fair share of testosterone-fueled police power trips, but sometimes luck’s on our side, and we have the video camera rolling while their dirty hooves are pushed against our backs.
Last week, a few kids in Arkansas were out skating for Go Skating Day and had a run-in with an officer. Unfortunately, the kids fought the law, and the law won. But thanks to a really smart videographer and Youtube, the skateboarders are about to really raise disorderly conduct.
If this angers you, then you’re a normal, red-blooded human being.
Oh and just in case you were interested, the officer’s name is Joey Williams, and he works for the:
