Here's the semi-seasonal EADJ wrap-up some interesting stickers we've seen around town and their true meaning, courtesy of some Internet snooping.
---------
Shake Junt sticker spotted in Union, New Jersey.
Smoothie joint or line of hair care products?
Shake Junt is a skateboarding company from L.A., founded by Shane Heyl and is part of Baker Boys Distribution.
From Urban Dictionary: "Not JUST a brand, but a lifestyle. One which is filled with blunts, 40's and skating with the homies. The brand was started by the homies for the homies, and it what skating is all about."
They also feature a Spring 2012 catalog selling everything from DVDs to shirts to skateboard grip tape, marijuana leaf Hawaiian shirts, knapsacks, 40 oz coozies and yes, stickers.
---------
Cody B. Ware sticker spotted in Brooklyn.
Wrestler mag or political movement?
Neither. It's a rapper. And he's not too bad, either. "Cody B. Ware is Cody Morgan Verdecias. A 23 year old dreamer from the spirit world who represents Brairwood Jamaica, Queens. The child of interracial parents. Half Spanish Half Jewish. Hopeless Romantic keeping my PMA on high. My mother gave me my birth name & Graham Masser (Bad Rabbits) blessed me with the name of Cody B. Ware."
---------
Forever Is Fleeting sticker spotted in Princeton, New Jersey.
Since it's got a myspace URL, I'm going to guess terrible rock band.
Bingo. This scrappy unsigned group of musicians from Lower Bucks, Pennsylvania, feature three songs on their page: "Restart My Heart [NEW!]" "Take Advantage [NEW!]" and "Miles (Acoustic Version)."
They added their newest member, Alison Cloud(keyboard and vocals) sometime in 2010.
---------
Stoke Harvester sticker spotted in Seattle.
Organic food co-op or skateboard company?
Skateboard company. They sell skimboards, paddle boards, surfboards, skate gear and wetsuits. And the requisite trucker hat.
---------
Pat Falco can jump this high spotted in Midtown.
Underground shoe company or graffiti artist?
Turns out Pat Falco is sort of the latter. "Pat Falco is an artist, rapper, and curator. He has several redeeming qualities and is considered by his mom to be 'her son.'
Pat Falco is a cartoonist, rapper, t-shirt designer and frequent blogger. So it's no surprise that he's also a self-promoter.
The black figure with his penis hanging down is a character in his ongoing comic strip.
---------
Dolphins Rape People spotted in Soho.
Ironic skateboard company or sketch comedy troupe?
Neither. It's actually, quite literally, a group of people wanting to "reach out to the victims of dolphin rape and share their stories with the world."
"This is no laughing matter. We must all band together to stop the atrocity that is dolphin rape."
They even documented the world's various dolphin rape cave locations.
And they're selling more stickers at 2 for 5 bucks.
Mmm. Maybe it is a sketch comedy troupe, just trolling.
