Hurdle Boss
Andrea showed me this video and I watched it about 7 times. Man sucks at hurdles so much he gets one stuck around his head. also makes sure the guy next to him is screwed. Cheers bro; real good guy.

Serena Williams - like Madonna - also a bit of a bitch.Nothing pisses me off more than Americans spouting off about freedom of speech, "we're in America last time I checked" she moans, after calling the umpire a "loser", "hater" and "unnatractive". They should have something in the constitution about being a stupid bitchy. Oriental GeniusImagine this at Mt Smart Stadium for a Warriors game. It would be amazing. They could form naughty words and shapes... like dicks and stuff. What a sight that would be.
Sticking with league, I can’t understand the fracas around the Rugby League Test at Eden Park the other week.... so a few bottles were chucked and there were a few fights after the game. 6 people got arrested, that’s probably the tally per night outside bloody Providor bar and grill. I say the league at Eden Park is a welcome change from the boring investment bankers and their season tickets to the Blues games. Back to our friends from the Orient... check this shit out - SELF-FREEZING COKE from a vending machine. Those dudes do everything cooler than everyone else.

He'd have been proud as punch when he saw Sarah sporting her Mr Vintage 'HOPE' tee at the airport. we were too.
The World Cup Is Over. Smile.This morning the All Whites exited the 2010 World Cup with their heads held high. It was a morning full of emotions. I was really gutted, and as if I wasn't gutted enough, as we made our way to the White Lady for a post match de-brief over a greasy burger, we suffered the ignominy of being turned away because they were closing up. It was the worst feeling of my life. But I saw something this morning that changed my mood. I'd seen it previously, but something really opened my eyes this time as I watched his poignant interview. The world needs more people like this. What a good dude.
Famous
You know you've made it when celebrities of the caliber of Steven Seagal and Diamond Dallas Page are photographed with some of your apparel. It's even more impressive when you realise that these celebrities are at the peak of their careers. If you know Andy Shackleton, you know that he's in to his action movies. And you can't really be in to your action movies unless you have a deep appreciation for Steven Seagal and his entire works. So it was with great joy we learnt that Steve had been gifted a KNZB bag by our mate Ben. Everyone at Mr Vintage, well the guys here at least, have all been big wrestling fans at one point or another and we were just delighted to see old DDP still looking in tip-top shape. I love the Diamond Cutter.
The Rugby World Cup
I’m not the biggest rugby fan in the world anymore, these days my involvement barely extends to processing the score of the latest Blues game rather than looking out for it. I’ll watch the All Blacks, but I can’t really remember the last time I enjoyed an All Blacks game. The game’s digressed; it’s not entertaining, going to games is even worse – the atmosphere is like shagging a dead horse. Lifeless
.
smug bastards.
But when it comes to a World Cup, I’ll certainly tune in. It’s the whole feeling about it; opening ceremonies, sudden death, group stages, newspaper schedule pull-outs, and of course, the theme music for the event.
One aspect of music that’s really cool is the way it attaches itself to memories. One time I went on a road trip to Wellington and only took a few CD’s, now every time I hear Jakob, Goldenhorse, or Grandaddy, I’m instantly taken back to the images of driving round Wellington. It’s neat. And now I hear that the Feelers are doing a cover of British pop band Jesus Jones' song 'Right Here, Right Now' for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Yes, I do have something against the feelers. But that’s because they are genuinely shit, once I was eating at this restaurant and the Feelers started playing; I damn near threw up my Greek Moussaka! This song will be drummed in to my head if I follow this World Cup with any real conviction, etched in to my heart. It will be like James Reid getting inside my head and whaling his grating voice until I go crazy, and the worst part is that he’s probably being paid pretty handsomely to do it. I've gradually accepted that the Feelers have somehow wormed their way in to becoming one of New Zealand Music’s favorite sons, but to such a degree? Last year they were awarded the honor of having NZ’s highest selling album – it was their greatest hits. You’re having a laugh. What sort of country do we live in when a band like the Feelers reign supreme? General opinion of most people I know, and certainly most people on twitter, is that they’re tits. It all begs the question really, is watching the 2011 Rugby World Cup really going to be worth it? I think not. But perhaps my ramblings are in fact misguided, it seems NZ love the Feelers. Am I just being unpatriotic? Maybe I should just stay quiet and agree to disagree. I’ve just now noticed that it’s been confirmed. http://bit.ly/9Vb42o Read it and weep boys. Round the Bays 2010
‘Round the Bays’ was on Sunday, and just like previous years we went from Quay St in the City along to the waterfront at St Heliers Bay. Some ran and some walked; either way, it was a joyous occasion for all, and the BBQ after really topped it off. Check the team. RUN AK!
Rob ran in his Prada glasses. #fag. Being the masters of Marketing and all, we really kicked ass in that our t-shirt didn't even have our logo or any branding on it. Victory.  Team Vintage. We run this shit.Tait Is Lame I expected better from an Australian.Had To Laugh At Hore The Seal Shooter just loves it. and you can tell. it's all over his face.Naughty Jayden facial.
This is a picture of my nephews. In this particular photo, Jayden is eye-gouging the shit out of Nikhil. he looks quite happy doing it. It’s my favourite photo at the moment, and it makes me smile. my brothers and me do our best to encourage this healthy rivalry whenever possible. It’s funny, Nikhil smiles and gets all happy when he sees Jayden, but Jayden refuses to look him in the eyes. It’s intense; it reminds me of Kane and The Undertaker from WWF before they were friends again. man I love the Undertaker. What an athlete.
Chappelli1 February 1981. NZ Vs Aus. Melbourne Cricket Ground. Match 3 of 5 with the series level at 1-1. Final ball. NZ need a 6 to win. Captain Greg Chappell quickly consults the Devil. Greg orders brother Trevor to bowl an underarm ball. Trevor delivers the cowardly roll, and quickly makes his way to the changing room – clasping two one-way tickets to hell for him and his big bro. A dark day for all concerned. Apparently Trevor later in his career had a breakdown. Oh well.
And yeah, we made this Chappelli t-shirt today. Pretty neat.  All Whites The All Whites are my heroes.  What's this? Fans standing up and supporting? Wouldn't see that at a rugby game. Victory!
Hayden had his big fight on Saturday night and it was a glorious occasion. We kicked it off with a neat little BBQ at Uncle Tonys – gee whiz that man knows how to dominate a 6-Burner – before heading to the venue to soak up the sweaty atmosphere. I could describe how resounding his victory by technical knockout was, or I could just show you a video of it. The only disappointment was that he didn’t grant Rob his wish of seeing a bit more showmanship. Rob wanted Hayden to celebrate by climbing on to the ropes and saluting the crowd. Oh well. Next time.
