CHECK BACK ON FRIDAY FOR THE DOCUMENTARY OF THE EVENTS WHERE YOU CAN SEE BOTH THE RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS AND DISTRACTION IN ALL OF THEIR HILARIOUS GLORY.

Some of us are content to live our lives in the annals of mediocrity, some people walk the streets with delusions of grandeur that make them think that they are better than those around them, but then there are those of us who seek greatness, excellence, perfection. It is those very people, gathered from the far reaches of the world, who turned up to compete for the 2008 Waiheke Summer Olympics. Was it for the stunning, beautiful and exquisite medals? The greatest trophy in world sport? Or simply the glory of victory at such an auspicious occasion? Tick, tick, and goddam tick.

You probably weren’t there, you may not even live in NZ, I don’t care, but I do care enough to provide you with a short account of the day, some fantastic photos taken predominantly by Jo Carmody, and all the fantastic video clips filmed and edited by Mr Mike Shaw.

If you are not familiar with this event, I will give you a quick rundown. People represent different countries in 5 separate events, (there are also some points awarded in the “Best Dressed” category) and then the points are tallied to give us the Overall Champion. Events included this year were Frisbee Golf, Petanque, 8 Ball Pool, Rhythmic Gymnastics & Distraction Game Show.

The pictures tell more of a story than I ever could, so have a look.

All ‘n’ all, everyone seemed like they had a great time, got drunk, won medals, made new friends, although I was disappointed at the lack of coke and hookers. Oh well, there’s always next year…

Well, I’ve been through many business cards designs in my life… I think my favourite are still my Idiot Institute clear ones, or the “Price List” business cards. (I’ll post some of the old ones soon now that I think about it) These are my new Jimi Ninja Design cards. I quite like them. Cheers to Birdy over at KMG Printing for a nice price too…

So if you need any graphic design done, feel free to HIRE ME.

I like Lego Men. They are so cool. But these days you can’t buy anything that isn’t Star Wars or Harry Potter lego sets at $594 each. Which is shit. It’s hard to even buy the BLOCKS anymore! What is happening in this world.

These are a couple of pics I did today. The first Lego man himself, I have appropriated as stock from someone. (I found the pic off a friend, and we don’t know where it came from. If it was you and you have a problem, I’ll take it down.) The rest of the pic I did…

The second is a re-design of a small part of a large print that I did for a skate shop wall. (You can see the full pic over on the Photography part of the Design Page) Those things are actually a lot harder to burn than you would expect. But he’s still smiling.

Your Great Great Grandparents fought with swords, your Grandad fought ze Germans and stuck his penis down Hitlers throat and your dad bitch slapped 21 hippies in order to bed your mother. These men were real men.
Congratu-fuck-you-lations.

You are the new generation of men who get manicures, your girlfriend pays for your night out because you only earn $12.73 for each of the 16 hours you work each week and you cry watching Meg Ryan movies. this, is a story of one of those men, who decided to break that mould, and dare to be great, so he went to Subway…

I have eaten lunch a lot. Most days in fact. For pretty much all of my life. Lunch doesn’t excite me. It’s lunch. It’s fuel. So we decided to spice it up a little. With extra jalapenos. But we didn’t stop there we got extra everything. “Everything” is a word that people don’t seem to understand these days. The dictionary defines ‘Everything’ as ‘a totalitarian romp with great cinematography”, I say it means “Everything that you got in all those goddam containers!” Now, I’m not trying to say that the people at Subway couldn’t be trained to perform complex keyhole surgeries, I’m just saying that if I tell them to put EVERYTHING THAT YOU’VE GOT on a foot long Italian Herb and cheese, then I mean exactly those words that I have just said. So please, please, don’t continually ask me if I want the seafood put on top as well, I do. Do I want olives? Aren’t olives part of “everything”? What sauces? ALL THE FUCKIN SAUCES THAT ARE IN ALL THOSE GODDAM BOTTLES!!! Half a hernia later, we have a sandwich. I do it no justice calling it a sandwich. It’s like calling the Great Wall Of China a wall. This is a Subway sandwich that contains every-single-thing that Subway offers in all of their sandwiches, all piled into one heart attack flavoured sandwich. Excellent.

Now all Sean has to do is eat it.
Sean, being a kid who eats Subway most days when not selling my skateboards in Mikeys beautiful skate shop “Compound”.

With the clock started, and a kiss on the cheek from the closest thing to a woman that’s touched him since his uncle when he was 8, he was off.
Half an hour later… I was bored.

I would like to thank Sean for continuing though. For if it wasn’t for his perseverance for that cause that was the Ultimate Subway Sandwich, then he wouldn’t have thrown up whole meatballs in a greenish browny slop in the garden next to the bus stop, which made me chuckle. As did the squeamish look on my girlfriends face when I recounted in graphic detail the scientific make-up of his bile. Speaking of girlfriends, next month we will be offering a date with Mark in our new competition.
Ladies, stop touching yourselves and wait.
