You would think that after last week's incident of SS's face having a close encounter with a baseball bat, he would be more careful. Apparently not.

At this rate, I should just quit my job and follow SS around with a camcorder and submit the recordings to AFV. I am sure to win the $10k grand prize eventually.

SS's latest "Jackass" antic involves him and a skateboard. Picturing SS on a skateboard is a bit like picturing a giraffe on roller-skates. Sure it's funny as hell but it looks damn awkward, not to mention dangerous. I wouldn't be so concerned if SS sticks to just practicing this activity in a skateboard park AND he wears protective gear but SS uses his skateboard as a primary means of transport. Protective gear? Those don't look "kewl". Remember, it's all about image people. Safety is just a silly thing adults fuss about.

SS came home yesterday from his tutoring classes with (yet another) bump his head.

Apparently, he was riding along when suddenly the skateboard just "slipped out" from under him for no reason and his head hit the sidewalk. That's his version of the story.

I'm guessing his skateboard is possessed?

I look at his face and I tell him he is doing a good job of turning himself into "The Elephant Man" (SS didn't get the reference).

SS tells DW this morning that he doesn't feel good. DW told him that he was not using that excuse to get out of class and sent him on his way.
