DOWN AND DIRTY.

In college, one of my requirements was a science course, so I enrolled in Biology 30: Human Sexuality.  Otherwise known as the “Dirty 30.”  The entire first class was dedicated to yelling out every possible nickname for male genitalia so the professor could write it on the board.  By the end of the period, the whiteboard was completely filled with weener words.  My contributions were “pork sword” and “furry banjo.” The point of the exercise was that you can tell how much value a culture places upon something by the number of names they have for it.  By that reasoning, America is passionately in love with the giggle stick.  That is all I pretty much remember from that class. Actually, that’s all I pretty much remember from college.

Anyways, besides the number 30, that little anecdote has absolutely nothing to do with what this post is about, so you can forget all that tallywhacker talk.

So last week, Inc.com published their annual “30 Under 30″ online article on the country’s top young entrepreneurs.  And this week, Inc. Magazine separately chose their own set of under-30 individuals behind America’s coolest companies.  Turns out that we were selected for this article as well.

You might remember this Kareem Black photoshoot Ben and I participated in up in San Francisco.  Yeah, they went with the toilet shot. I knew it.

Anyways, the issue is on newsstands now.  Bonus: there’s a naked centerfold of Ben.

TELEMUNDO : FANDEMONIUM EDITION.

We get the best fanmail. Hands down.  Here’re some of the more interesting contributions as of late.

Jared wanted a The Hundreds tattoo, but didn’t want to go the traditional Adam Bomb route.  “I’ve been a fan for quite some time,” he writes, “and had an idea to represent that TH lifestyle and to show my respects.“  I do believe this is the first time anyone has ever inked JAGS on themselves.

On September 6, Terence married his beautiful wife Peggy…

…and Adam was invited.

The only thing stranger than this gigantor bodyguard wearing our t-shirt (I didn’t know we made 14XL) is that it looks like he’s about to off Hillary Duff with his gat.

Carl “eats” a really big “sandwich.”

Wezz calls this his “lucky shirt.”  The fish feels otherwise.

run2winp baked this cake for his girlfriend’s birthday.  Score.

7-year-old Bela from Davis, California gets arts and crafty.

It’ll take you a second to figure this one out.

This one’s a little easier to understand.

Corrado Francolini sends his regards from Italy.

Cherm caught a TH cameo in a porno.  Very observant, Cherm.

TOFER ES ENORME.

Perhaps not so surprisingly, considering how his art career has been skyrocketing as of late, Tofer’s billboard (seen here) will be on display at the Reina Sofia Contemporary Museum in Madrid throughout this week.  The Reina Sofia is Spain’s national museum of 20th Century art and is internationally recognized for its vast collection of Pablo Picasso (including Guernica) and Salvador Dali art.  Tofer’s exhibition is even more impressive considering the Reina Sofia is largely dedicated to Spanish art and artists, with little space offered for outside work.  Word.

BURIED TREASURE.

If you’ve kept up with us over the past few years, you should be keenly familiar with Corgishoe and his massive 2,000+ deadstock sneaker collection.  Well, after over a decade of hording, it’s time to let go.  That’s right, folks.  Corgishoe’s entire collection is gradually making its way onto Ebay. Keep up-to-date on his listings HERE.

The end of a dynasty.  The end of an era.

Unfortunately, he’s still holding onto his chewing gum collection.

ON THE OUTSIDE.

I’ll admit that much of the California Culture I bring you on a daily basis is depicted within walls.  Whether indoors, or inner-city, the L.A. Lifestyle is generally associated with cement, cars, and overpopulation.  But that’s misleading, because there is another life outside of the man-made reality.

I spent the weekend in Central California, far from the horn-honking and bright lights.  They still have skyscrapers out here.  They’re called mountains.
