Dave at satdy skates comes through with the twin cup, sheer genius of course but can you do better? Can you? Sure you say you can but wheres the proof? In your head? “I can do better than that.” So do it! We’re really bumming on you! You keep coming back to see what’s been submitted but you don’t submit your design. Stop being a little poof. Send it in!
Ah college…

We had a Weird Science quote-off against Chri$ the staff illustrator last week. Via email. He started it with ‘Don’t threaten me Al…’ and we took the bait. Why don’t girls get off on quoting funny movies? Wait! Why do full-grown men enjoy quoting movies at each other? It’s a bit gay really… Weird Science, if you haven’t seen it, is one of the most quoted movies of all time. Kelly LeBrock, Anthony Michael Hall, that guy from The Hills Have Eyes, Classic.
Here’s our favorite scenes.
What’s weird is Kelly LeBrock was last seen on Celebrity Fit Club 3 (really) and Anthony Michael Hall turned into Biff. The kid that played ‘Wyatt’ is a professor of English at Anglo State University in Texas.
Man, we got some amazing entries over the weekend! This one from Stephens, of Stephens and Bower fame, features two cats running off with a couple of tacos. Infinitely metaphorical. Excellent job Stephens.
God thats good.
Not to be outdone, Melissa Lin from Austin TX came up with this little gem-
If you look closely you’ll notice the man has a little ghost-logo earring. Prodigious, to say the least.
If you think you can top Melissa and Mr Stephens, send your entry Here!
In other news- Peace schmeace. You’ll be able to get some good weed at this shit.
If you caught a Morrissey concert recently you would have seen this- The East of Eden wardrobe test with James Dean and Richard Davalos. Eden was the ‘big-break’ picture for both these dudes. At Morrissey’s concerts this was projected on the curtain pre-show, and everyone cheered when they turned around and showed their butts… There’s no sound on this. We recommend playing Elton John’s haunting- Candle in the Wind.
Or this.
This looks amazing!
We’re assuming Louis-Philippe Charette is French. Not because of his spectacularly French name, but because his entry to the Great WOOOOO Magazine T-Shirt Comp involves a man squelching his balls against a piano.
Very French indeed. Très Magnifique!

We’ve been admiring this Puch in Nolita for a while now. It’s the craziest bike! It’s a single cylinder deal with two individual, molded plastic seats, two mysterious tank caps, knee pads, front and rear drum brakes… We think it’s a 200? 250? It’s pre 1960 for sure… Anyway, we found this photo over at our copyeditors blog- Pacific Standard. He’s been lurking around the Puch too.
I wonder if it’s for sale…
We emailed Jeff at Choke Motorcycles and he says- “thats about a 62-64 puch twingle, rotary crank or piston port on the side probably, called a twingle, they made a 175 and a 250, its called a twingle because its a twin cylinder on the same crank pin, the main piston is bigger and it comes off the top and the smaller piston out the rear makes that 4 stroke torque in the bottom, both pistons fire in the same combustion chamber! and they both reach tdc at the same time. 1 spark plug too, cool bike, super rare, they make horse power, its a 2 stroke but feels more like a 4..” Huh, that explains the two tank caps.
Anyway, back to the French vibe. Here’s a picture of an old Monet & Goyon.
Très rad no?
‘I am the Lizard King, I can do anything…
except get into Florida State University.’ What?! Très random.
Jeez! This competition is getting intense! The stakes just got raised by
Henry Goldstone’s ingenious submission! Check it out!
Thats pretty amazing Henry. Your in the running.
Send your entries to The Great WOOOOO Design a T-shirt for us and we’ll give you nothing save the knowledge that you won The Great WOOOOO T-Shirt Competition Competition Here!

It is such an awesome day here in NYC that we’re dropping everything and going for a cruise.
Check out Nick in his heyday. BITE! Genius.
Brazil. It’s great isn’t it? Been there? Oh, you gotta go! It’s beautiful!
L Vascons is from Brazil and this is his entry to the T-shirt comp.
It’s three WOOOOO Ghosts pissing in bedpans. Not sure about the txt at the top there, ramblings of a mad Brazilian perhaps. Good job L Vascons!
In other T-shirt design competition news- We’ve decided on a prize! This artfully crafted piece of amateur taxidermy!
Juuuuust kidd’n, they’re alive, they look stuffed though right? Funny. Anyway, we’re think’n maybe we should have a prize for the winner. There’s a napkin floating around the office that Gonz doodled on, if we can dig it up we’ll make it the prize. Is that alright? The runner up prize can be a haircut by this gay dude we know, fancies himself a hairdresser.
Send your entries here!
Oscar Hazell has come at us again with what looks like the WOOOOO Ghost hovering over a Fleshlight… or is it a candle? Is it Guinness?
If you wanna get in on this comp all the details are below in previous…
blog entries… eugh, that sounds like shit.
Anyway, keep ‘em coming!
Our friend Deanne has a show coming up! You should get along to it.
Back when David Spade and that supernaturally Jewish dude were proud members of the Bones Brigade. Check the freestyle bmx yawnage at the end.
Wow! Nice job Jenny Eagleton! Jenny says-
“ideally, it would be put on the front center of the shirt going
all the way down starting at the collar going to the
hem. and maybe the same thing on the back, too…”
Radical-balls, but unfortunately Jenny submitted before we’d announced
‘The Regulations’ which is an absolute bummer because this would be
a very nice T-shirt.

How can anyone not like cats, by the way?
When we flippantly announced ‘The Great WOOOOO Magazine T-Shirt Competition’ we failed to mention a few regulations.
Regulation one- Designs should be one color.
Regulation two- Whatever you come up with should be printable on one side of the T. Don’t get all tricky on us,
we already know your smart, you read WOOOOO.
Regulation three- Your design should somehow incorporate the WOOOOO Logo…
THE GHOST WHAT HAS A COCK.
That’s the regulations then. As far as deadlines go, lets say… in a month?
Cool.
Must say, the response has been pretty good! We’ll post up the designs we dig as they come in.
Here’s one from Mr. Oscar Hazell. Pure genius.
Pop a ‘Ghost with a cock’ brooch on her and she’s done!
Great job Oscar! Now look at these filthy buggers!
Hey hombres. We’re building a new site for the WOOOOO right now,
been pretty busy.
Plus, we’re trying to bang WOOOOO #6 on the head, taking forever as usual,
it’s looking pretty good though, just need to get this one dude and we are done.
In the mean time we’re having a little t-shirt design competition!
Send your entries HERE and if you win we’ll print your design on a
bunch of t-shirts and sell them! AND KEEP ALL THE MONEY!!!!!
But at least you’ll be able to tell your buddies ‘Hey, I designed that t-shirt, man.’
They’ll think your so cool. You’ll probably start hanging out with new cooler friends too. I’ve seen it happen.
Check it out! Dutch!
Get on out to Desert Island, tell ‘em WOOOOO sent you, see what happens.
Read this and help destroy the career of a complete arsehole.
Excellent graffiti!
Second favorite four letter word beginning with ‘F’…
Hey Jason -
My name is Emily and I’m a first year English literature student at Edinburgh university, where I write for the student paper, and later this year I’m going to be interning at Vice. I was wondering where you were based, because I really want to get involved with Wooooo and I’m willing to work for you for free just to get some experience.
Thank you for your time,
Emmie
Nice!
Dewd. Wait till you see who’s in WOOOOO #6. It’s amazing.
We’re still waiting on this one interview and then we’re off to the printers!
Actually, we’ll be off to the copy editors, then off to the designer, then back
to the copy editors, then off to the printers!
If your thinking about starting your own little mag- Don’t.
It’s too much work.
Next year we’re moving into a bigger space and we’re getting an intern.
A female intern, or a little gay one. And he/she will take care of all the trips to the post office, all the trips to UPS, all the email stuff that I can’t keep up with, he/she will be responsible for the beer fridge always being full and he/she will answer the phone and get the lunch.
Aaaand! Oh my god! He/she can transcribe all the interviews! YES!
If Diddy doesn’t want this dude maybe we can get him…
Really having trouble getting a Guinness Vagina going.
This one ruptured on me.
Maybe you need to be Irish or something?
Sorry for the lack of posts in the last week, what can I say?
Mercury is in retrograde.
We’ve been trying to scrape enough money together to buy one of these little buggers!
$4000.00 for a cat? Thats insane! It does look like a little tiger though…
In other news- MOZZ WON!
This show is awesome.
Below. The genius of Will Laren. Keep an eye on this guy. He’s amazing!
Thanks Dave. C. for sending us this and making our heads explode.
Deus. Killing it.
