How many skate shops do you know who have their very own shoes? I don’t mean the people working there own footwear. I mean, how many skate shops have actually designed shoes?

Easy Rider at White Mudd Crossing actually has their very own shoes. Owner Warren Currie and his staff actually submitted their designed ideas to DC Shoes and the result is pure bliss.

The picture doesn’t quite do them justice, but the outers are nubuck leather that would rival a baby’s ass for softness.  The insides are just the right level of squishy — gel insoles even!

The only bad thing is, they’re SO nice that I’m gonna have to walk on my hands until all these puddles dry up.

I imagine that, like mine, your email box is loaded down with junk mail, making all kinds of promises: Lose 3 inches from around your waist or Gain up to 3 inches… uh below your waist.  Today, I got the absolute WORST spam message EVER! It says “Ask how I made over $100 in just one day.”

You see lots of these late night infomercials on TV about how you can make a fortune in real estate or selling products over the internet. You always see people with these cheesy fake tans sitting around the pool in their Hawaiian shirts; you see their mansion in the background, the sports car in the driveway, maybe a boat.

But $100 a day – that’s like $12.50 an hour. I kept trying to imagine what this guy’s infomercial might look like. Sitting around the PUBLIC pool. Used Ford Escort in the background. Nothing wrong with working for 12.50, but I don’t know if I would be writing a book or organizing motivational seminars. Ask how I made 12.50 an hour… uh, was it working at Starbucks?

Do you watch the TV show, The Office? Word has it they have just cast a new receptionist. Actress/comedienne Ellie Kemper, who you may recognise from sketches she’s done on Late Night with Conan O’ Brien.

The question is, if they’re casting a new receptionist, what does that mean for the old receptionist on The Office, Pam. Is she getting fired? Imagine being an actress, you’re in between seasons and you pick up Entertainment Weekly only to read, they’ve hired somebody new for YOUR role. That’s the harshest way to learn you got your walking papers. Has this ever happened to you? Do you have a story about an interesting way you learned of your dismissal?

The Plain White Tee’s dropped by the AXE Music Listener Lounge on Sunday for a brief Q&A and acoustic performance. Hear the session in the upcoming edition of the Layne Mitchell Show Podcast on iTunes. Or, click on SONiC Sessions to watch the video.

SONiC welcomes the Plain White Tee’s to the Axe Music Listener Lounge this weekend. I’ll bet they won’t be performing this one!

I had my teeth cleaned earlier this week. I’m one of the few people I know who actually enjoys going to the dentist. Most people take terrible care of their teeth, so I figure as long as I brush and floss regularly, my visits consist of 45 minutes of ego-stroking, but my last visit was different.  Despite my strict cleaning regimen, I didn’t get so much as  a kind word. Sure I could be angry about it, but my therapist says I need to learn to express myself in more constructive ways.

I call this… Ode To A Mouth Janitor

POWER LEOPARD, the debut album from Christian Hansen and the Autistics which includes Cocaine Trade is now available at Megatunes and Black Byrd music. That song is SO catchy I had Christian help me craft the Cocaine Trade Ringtone!

Thursday on the show, we started talking about urinating in the shower. I said that I wasn’t a part of the Shower Pee-ers’ club, which was met with adamant disbelief, but I stand by my claim. In fact, I spoke to a guy named Ken, who is an independent polygraph operator for TV’s The Lie Detective. He offered to bring in his machine at some point and “hook me up” with a test.

It’s no secret, I’m full of crap. The question is, how full? This is your chance to learn the truth. What should Ken ask me while I’m hooked up to the lie detector?
