As a kid, I had stuck them on my walls for inspiration to better my sports game and likely life in general. I broke several bones along the way, but never made the starting lineup.

To get focused and redouble your efforts, check out his piece about ScatterBlast. Then head outside and call winners on the toughest court.
(1 Deft DJ + 24 bottles of Svedka + 30 cases of Newcastle) x (100s of People) = A Wild Rumpus. Here are some pics of the merry pranksters. And mark your calendars for the Elephants’ next throwdown – October 25th – send a missive to RSVP@desedo.com if you want to join the party.
