Tony Hawk(s)

edited April 2008 in Chit chat
Tony Hawk and Tony Hawks are two different people.

Fortunately, one of them's quite funny.

    Its quite scary and disturbing the amount of kids who write normal emails/messages using the 'text talk' kinda way. That first one on his site, thats just shocking !

    tony hawks has mentioned how he gets emails for tony hawk a few times on TV, so it wouldn't suprise me if some are fakes sent in by fans of his.

    Dont make up excuses for them ! Judging by some of those responses the kids seem to think theyre typing on a phone. Seen a few similar posts over on the RG forum by some noob who types like hes typing a text message.

    We all make typos but its the type of posts like "U iz kool, i lke skte-brding, iz rad" kinda of crap

    of course as an 80's rap buff psj is a great fan! :p

    I picked up a load of audio tapes recently from a charit shop, including Tony Hawks, playing Tennis Against Molvania, have yet to listen to that yet

    I sent that dude an email....cut and paste. (If he replies Ill post it.)

    Dear Tony,

    Thought I would write to say how impressed I am with your mad board skillz. You look like your getting on a bit in your photos so god knowz how you manage to do some of those skate tricks without breaking a bone. I bet you need lots of afternoon naps after a skate session to get over it and probably a strong cup of tea or 2.

    I showed my grandad some of your moves and asked if he could do anything like that...he said the only move like that he could do was 'the wheelbarrow' with granny...do you know that move?

    Your Friend

    Steve.

    I miss those 80's old skool rap tunes !

    All together now...



    Bedtime boys!
    Oh mom!

    Now hey there people, won't you lend an ear?
    'cause I've a story to tell and I'm telling it here
    I was born in a town in the great UK
    From a baby to a boy to a man today
    And I'm a musical man, and I'm a man of verse
    But I've got a little problem and it's getting worse

    Well my life was so well planned
    Survivin' and a-jivin' in a f-f-funk band
    'cause rappin', it's my, bread and butter
    But it's hard to rap when you're born with a st-st-st, st, st-st, st,
    st-t, st-t, stutter!

    Well no-one's ever seen what I mean
    From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
    We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
    So join with us and do the st-st-st-st-st-st-st-stutter rap

    Well it was '82 when I joined the boys
    And I was hip, and I was cool, but now I've lost my poise
    The kids, our fans, are starting to doubt
    When you open your mouth and nothing comes out

    And it breaks my heart that we're not on the chart
    'cause the record's nearly over when the vocals start
    And I'm down and out, and I'm down on my luck
    And I'm livin' on my own and I'm dying for a fr-riend to say "You're great!" But I'm under the hammer
    'cause all I seem to do is s-s-s-st-

    Come on man!

    s-s-s-st-stammer!

    Well no-one's ever seen what I mean
    From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
    We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
    So join with us and do the st-st-st-st-st-st-st-stutter rap

    Neighbours

    Well interviewers turn away
    Who wants to be covered with spray?
    Talkin' to me for more than an hour
    Is equivalent to an April shower
    It's tough! Tough! Tougher than tough!
    It's worse than Benny Hill and that's bad enough!
    Something must be wrong with your vocal technique
    When the twelve inch mix goes on for a week

    I was rappin' in my club the other night
    When nothin' I said was comin' out right
    The crowd got angry, and this one man
    He was gonna throw a bottle
    He was gonna chuck a can, chuck a can, chuck it, chuck it, chuck it,
    chuck it

    Well no-one's ever seen what I mean
    From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
    We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
    So join with us and do the st-st-st-st-st-st-st-stutter rap

    N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-NO, NEED, FOR SHOUTING!

    W-w-w-w-why's that then?

    Well, you'll wake Mr Whittaker at number thirty-two

    Besides, it's not very good for the voice

    (An amplifier or similar shorts out)

    Uuhhh!

    That's a bit harsh isn't it?

    NO, SLEEP, 'TIL BEDTIME!

    Talking of which it's ten-thirty already!

    Is it? Ooooh!

    What time do they stay up 'til in America?

    (I mean)

    Oh, very late. Sometimes quarter to eleven

    (Ahhhh)

    Well actually I've heard in New York they sometimes even stay up 'til midnight

    No! No wonder they do all that shouting

    (I mean)

    Yes, they must be very snappy and irritable

    That's right

    (Ahhhh)

    Do you know, I heard a story that those Toastie Boys stayed up 'til
    quarter past twelve!

    Really? Well that's just silly!

    They're just gonna get burnt out

    Burnt out!

    Well no-one's ever seen what I mean
    From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
    We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
    So join with us and do the st-st-st-st-st-st-st-stutter rap

    Tony Hawks was on Celebrity Mastermind a few months ago and took Tony Hawk as his specialist subject... (And it's Playing the Moldovans at Tennis)

    Meh. I'll leave you to your ignorance. There's no such country as Molvania...

    His book "Playing the Moldovans at Tennis" is a good read - Tony Hawks being the writer, not the sk8terboi.

    Heh heh, I've just nearly died from laughing, quote: "...Hawks is currently collaborating with Chesney Hawkes" [and his mole] "on various songs available from a MySpace website..."
  • edited April 2008
    Tony Hawk ain't so much as a sk8erboi these days though - I think he's the wrong side of 35 (I found out when I played THPS3, since his profile's there) Actually, THPS3 is a good game - and I've not touched a real skateboard since I was a kid).
