When my parents named me ‘Eddie‘, little did they know they were basically just doing something that was preconceived in the stars. Well ok maybe not the stars but at least aligned with the Urban Dictionary:
“Comes from the word Edward, Eduardo, Edwardo, Edwin. But there are the lucky few who only have the name Eddie. Usually referred to as a guys name. Eddie’s are usually very nice, pretty attractive, love sex, love making people laugh, very smart and usually strive for the hardest things in life. They are the perfect guys to date and have an insane amount of friends.”
To a tee. I recommend you fellas go check out what the U.D. has to say about you. And you can always add an entry.

If you’re going to look at pictures of semi-naked women while you’re at work do yourself a favor and check out Girls You’ll Never Get here on Mevio. We have all kinds of almost naked ladies.
One thing you might not want to do though is pull off what this investment firm employee is doing and check out topless pictures of Miranda Kerr while your co-worker is live on air trying to make your organization look like a reputable authority. Check out the busted staffer two rows back:
The five-star Volcom Pipeline Pro surf contest has kicked off with epic 8-12 foot Hawaiian style waves. Volcom riders Bruce Irons and Dusty Payne are favorites as well as locals Dave Wassel, Derek Ho and Jamie O’Brien. The contest can be streamed live on the Volcom Pipeline Pro website. Highly recommend checking that one out.
Pipeline is the world’s most famous wave; located on the middle of the North Shore of Oahu which is considered the epicenter of professional surfing.
On Crushed we have Pipeline stand-outs Bruce and Andy Irons, Dustin Barca, and Jordy Smith charging some heavies and showing why they’re among the best in the world. Here’s one of Brucie:
We’re all about recycling here at Mevio. We don’t even throw out toilet paper. At least Adam doesn’t. That’s why our entire office was so stoked to see this great video on reusing record album covers to make cool sh-t. ‘Sleevefacing’ is the concept of taking a record cover and shooting intricate and exciting photos of yourself and friends. A self portrait on your wall is now even more interesting. Why? First because your face has been replaced with Mick Jagger’s, cool, and second because it’s damn funny. Have yourself a looksie, okaysie.
Shawn White, Louie Vito and Scotty Lago will be joining Kelly Clark, Gretchen Bleiler and Hannah Teter in Park City for the 2010 Olympics! The US Snowboard Team, full of Olympic veterans, is looking to be a strong contender for a few golds again this year; and we’re all expecting Louie to bust out the sickest victory dance of the entire games, since he’s now a Dancing With The Stars veteran. Go Louie!
We’ll be throwing up plenty of snowboarding videos on Crushed over the next few week to get you amped for the competition.
I’m about as street smart as a choir boy lost in De Wallen. So rap lyrics like “I put 8 balls in corners without using pool sticks,” or “It’s a trip the way ya’ll make these chicks twist each other” go right over my head. No clue. Good thing there’s the very informative internet publication understandrap.com. Understand Rap translates rap lyrics for the culturally uninformed, unenlightened, or white.
Will help all you guys out there who’ve been dying to get what “i had her eatin’ lobster now she eatin’ pizza” really means.
Gone are the days of sweating in tents – row after row – for 72 hours in Indigo, Calif. each April. The Coachella Music & Arts Festival has some new rules for camping on site this year. The 2010 festival will feature the first ever ‘car camping’ option. Participants receive a campsite where they can drive and leave their car for the weekend. And guess what? Along with car camping, this year also features ‘In’s and Out’s’! Think about it folks. You know what this means?
Three straight days of tailgating. No more $10/beer tabs racking up inside the venue. Each concert-goer is allowed to bring one case of beer into the campground. If you have six people in you car that’s 576 beers. Plus the rule seems sort of like it should be written ‘one case-ish per person‘. And they don’t even mention hard liquor. (Hi my name’s Eddie and I’ll be you mini-bar tender.) This car camping test is great addition to the wonderful festival. Be sure to check out the line-up and deets at their website.
The organizers and supporters of the ‘I’m With CoCo‘ campaign took the streets today for the Conan Rally. Fans of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien showed their support by cheering, chanting, waving signs, and knocking out a fake Jay Leno. Fake Jay took a solid one to the chin that finished him off. For a while there it looked like Leno had the upper hand on Fake Conan, as he had him in a mean headlock.
The California coastline is getting hammered with some of the biggest and best surf in years this winter season. Buildings are falling off the cliffs, sandbags are being filled, insurance claims are being written, and surfers are being stoked. All this can only mean great things for the Mavericks big wave surf contest in Half Moon Bay Calif.; which needs a swell of at least 50 ft wave faces to go off.
The 24 hand-picked surfers who will be competing in the contest vote on the day that the contest will run. When conditions meet the strict standards set by the competitors, the surfers have about 48 hours to hop on a plane from wherever they are in the world and get to Half Moon Bay, which is located about 20 minutes down the coast from San Francisco. A $150,000 purse and giant surf awaits.
Check out the Mevio Men’s show Podsurf to see some of the world’s best surfers tackling some of the best surf.
Daper DJ Mike Relm has an interesting take on making music. Relm likes to make music that interacts with moving pictures, and viral videos often make become the subject and the instrument in his songs. Today on Mevio Men we are profiling Relm’s Remix of Sarah Palin. Sexy Sarah in song. Oh yeah. It’s so rogue.
