The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

New Hampshire Bootmaker Timberland to be Sold for $2B

I’ve obviously been making the wrong decision for the past twenty five years by buying Timberland boots and socks instead of investing in Timberland bonds and stocks.

VF Corporation owns Nautica, The North Face, Jansport, Eastpak, Wrangler, 7 For All Mankind and a shitload of other second-tier brands. I hope that Timberland doesn’t lose the innovative spark with this acquisition. Their legacy line of footwear will forever be synonymous with cutting edge quality, but I worry about their newer hybrid lines.

The Mountain Athletics division from Timberland is totally slept on. This is where they develop all those lightweight quick response day hikers like the Cadion boots. I pulled a pair out of my archives and not a minute too soon. The rubber was starting to turn yellow from the improper storage. These are the 30152 deck shoes. They are like a hybrid aqua sock meets boat shoe.

You will rarely find me suggesting that you wear a shoe without socks, even a deck shoe, but these Mountain Athletics division Timberlands are so comfortable on the insole it would be a crime to not go barefoot in these. The outsole has flex grooves so that the shoe bends with your foot naturally and a non-skid outsole to help you keep your grip even on a wet surface.

Timberland isn’t just for the wintertime anymore.

Timberland is for every season and every reason.

Tear The Roof Off The Ceiling…

Monday, July 11th, 2011

My unborne children and their children’s children are being put up for grabs in the U.S. Govt’s high stakes game of fiscal roulette. In order to avert a U.S. default on their overleveraged debt the Congress has to pass a measure that allows the U.S. to borrow more money to pay down the existing debt.

Waitaminniit?!? Isn’t that how a ponzi scheme works? Yes, and this ponzi scheme controls all of our lives. Remember when the U.S. govt. had to bail out the bankers and the car companies and the insurance agencies and the Wall Street industrial complex? Well now who is gonna bail the U.S. govt. out?

One of our problems as a society is that we constantly repeat the same errors but still hope for a different outcome. We don’t ask the wealthy to pay their fair share of the tax burden but instead saddle these costs on to the backs of the working class. The other problem is that the working class in America is currently out of work.

Historically high rates unemployment and joblessness is being combined with historical levels of profiteering down on Wall Street. If we can’t raise the ceiling then we might better start excavating a sub-cellar. We’ll need the space down there to stash our rock bottom economy.

North Philly Is Divine…

Sunday, July 10th, 2011

In another year your boy will be married. Chocolate Snowflake and I have considered where we will live and raise our family. Will we stay in Brooklyn? PrA’li not. For us to remain working class in Brooklyn you have to be pretty wealthy. We are considering relocating to Washington D.C. or possibly Philadelphia.

I can fux with D.C. and Philly. Both cities have the ‘big city’ appeal that I need. I have to be around people and I have to be around art. I would also like to live somewhere I felt like the social culture was unique and not homogenized. New York City itself is beginning to have that pasteurized feel. Sometimes I don’t even know I’m in NYC. Washington D.C. can be like that too.

I thought Philly was the last place that kept it really real. Maybe I got it wrong on this account also. Philadelphia has a concentration of colleges sited within the city. Penn State, Temple, Drexel, Lehigh, Villanova and St. Joe’s to name a few. But then why is this town so depressed and politically deactivated?

How do you let this beautiful building become dilapidated?

The building is called the Divine Lorraine Hotel. When it was purchased by Father Divine of the Universal Peace Mission Movement in 1948 it was the first of its class in Philadelphia, ne, the United States, to be fully racially integrated.

Believing that all people were equal in the sight of God, Father Divine was involved in many social welfare activities as well. For example, after purchasing the hotel, several parts of it were transformed for public use. The hotel’s first floor kitchen was opened as a public dining room where persons from the North Philadelphia community were able to purchase and eat low-cost meals for 25 cents.

The building was closed in 1999 and sold in 2000 by the International Peace Mission. In May 2006 it was resold to Philadelphia developer Michael Treacy, Jr. to be converted into condominiums. Treacy, instead of redeveloping the building gutted the Divine Lorraine of all the classic interior’s fixtures and architectural ornaments. Treacy then left the building in tatters to the squatters and the vandals.

I’d like to believe that Philadelphia can once again be as great as it was when the Divine Lorraine Hotel was a beacon for the best in man, but if Philly can’t put itself back together again this humpty dumpty is gonna have to consider moving to New Hampshire.

The Price Of Sugar…

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

This documentary is likely to get me off my sugar addiction. The invitation to attend is open to all interested in the subject matter.

Let’s get healthy Internets, and possibly get freedom in the process.

Greatest Threesomes Of All Time [ll]

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

yanks

As the Internets Celebrities roll out another episode of ‘I.C. NYC’ I began to see the group reaching G.O.A.T. status. Who else brings this level of edutainment other than KRS-1. Except the Internets Celebrities do it without all the self-aggrandizement.

There have been other moments in our history when three dudes from similar yet disparate backgrounds came together to be great. Here’s a short list of some of the greatest threesomes [ll]…

musketeers

No one can deny the fame or popularity of the Three Musketeers. They are hell’a ghey tho’. Let’s move along before I Tracy Morgan myself.

celts

Was the Celtics ‘Big 3’ of Allen, Garnett and Pierce as great as Jordan, Pippen and Rodman? Of course not, but the 72-10 Bulls never had cool nickname either.

shady

Maybe Dr.Dre. Eminem and Fifty Cent aren’t actually a threesome. They are together in this pic tho’ and that should count for something.

de la

De La Soul is hands down my favorite threesome in rap history. Sorry ’bout that Moe Dee.

knight rider

Okay, so Gary Coleman was only on Knight Rider for one episode but just think about the power that a magic negro midget, a talking car and David Hasselhoff’s pants were generating. The world still isn’t ready for that reality. R.I.P. Gary Coleman.

And without further adieu I give you Episode 3 of ‘I.C. NYC’ from the greatest threesome on the internets.
