What came first? The chicken or the egg? This one question symbolizes a quandary that’s been boggling the greatest philosophical minds for thousands of years. It’s also questions how life and the universe began. Most common answers can be refuted, thus creating a perpetual and endless debate. I believe it was ARISTOTLE who said it best when he concluded both have always existed. “If there has been a first man he must been born without father or mother – which is repugnant to nature. For there could not have been a first egg to give a beginning to birds, or there should have been a first bird which gave a beginning to eggs; for a bird comes from an egg..”
Did you find that confusing? Well so did many people up until another great mind, Charles Darwin developed his theory on evolution rendering the chicken/egg debate pretty much useless. Things evolve all the time. We wouldn’t have today’s STREEWEAR without hip-hop. There would be no CRISS ANGEL if not for SIEGFRIED & ROY. And without a doubt, there would be no WEBSTER if we were never introduced to ARNOLD JACKSON. As long as we live, we will continue to see things evolve.
As much as we may not enjoy watching ourselves from four years ago, I think that doing so can teach us an important lesson. For me, I learned that wearing daisy dukes and Speedos is really part of who I am. Anyways, we continue to go backwards and this What Mike Saw was made back in 2006. Although unflattering at times, these videos from the past are pretty SWEET.

In the 80’s it was STOVE TOP STUFFING. I would call my mom while Joey called his MOM and things always seemed to work out perfectly. In the 90’s, it was all about the HOT POCKETS. The United Kingdom lent us their hundred-year recipe for the meal of champions, or what they like to call meat pies. Whatever is good for ROBBIE WILLIAMS is good enough for me. But that was in the 90’s and even though they were great TIMES, they had to inevitably come to an end. Then into the new decade/century/millennium. I was no longer a kid and I was old enough to go to war for this country, so I began to eat adult food. That meant things like Double Doubles, Sourdough Jacks, and BALUT.
But as we all know, life has a way of coming full circle. Although I am no longer I kid, I should probably have one pretty soon. I’m not saying I’m having a kid or anything like that, but I will need to find out the delicious after school snacks Gunther (what I will name my kid) will be allowed to eat. And since I will definitely train Gunther into action sports (preferably INLINE), what better way to do that than to look back at some of our old videos?
These things seem ancient especially with the spastic video quality. The audio in this is so off it often times confuses me. And the music. Let me just suggest maybe taking an E pill to enhance your viewing experience. I think I might have been watching a lot of TRAINSPOTTING when I made this video over a decade ago.
It features some of us Walnut and Diamond bar skaters. These were the later years of skateboarding. When most skaters started driving, the importance of their skateboard became less relevant. Others like Brad and David; they kept it real.
* I know it says “WMD” or Weapons of Mass Destruction. Actually that’s a typo and it will take way to long to re-export this video. So WMD it is. And just so you don’t get confused, Fart was the title of our original skateboard movie. When this came out, everyone just referred to it as Fart II instead of its original title.

Just as HUEY LEWIS did with MARTY MCFLY, we’re going “back in time”. We’re going back to a simpler time when it was okay to be passed out drunk in the streets while your friends mock you. Back to a time when it was sanitary to scam on random girls you meet in a crappy bar. Back to a time when sporting a MULLET was okay and you wouldn’t be ridiculed for having one. Fortunately we all had to grow out of that phase of our lives and even though those were great times, we should be glad they’re over.
What Mike Saw #11, which is a more current representation of the times, will be made next week but before we visit the new era, we must take a look back at part of a decade that seems ages ago. For those of you in this, I’m sure that you don’t even remember these particular moments in your lives. But hopefully these memories do come back and hopefully you won’t be too embarrassed by them.
