Did You Know? part 1: Gwar, Free Flow Tour, Shaun White

So Burton snowboards had a pet contest at their headquarters ast week. and GWAR judged. From Blabbermouth:

Speaking of pets and more specifically dogs, Oderus Urungus and Beefcake The Mighty served as celebrity judges in the 14th annual Burton Snowboard Pet Costume Contest yesterday in Burlington, Vermont.

Unphased by success, GWAR continues on their course as "the people's band". Band members Oderus Urungus, Beefcake The Mighty, and Balsac The Jaws Of Death. are seen below judging the 14th annual Burton Dog-Costume Show. The event is held every year to benefit CHILL, a charity group dedicated to giving underprivileged children a chance to try snowboarding and other winter sports.

"GWAR loves animals, and underprivileged children," said Oderus, "usually cooked, sometimes raw..."

I swear who is this red headed kid who keeps getting press. This go around it's the LA Times and Shaun White on his video game sequal and the obligatroy snowboarding questions. I tell you this snowboard thing is catchy even the Chicago Sun Times is gettin' on the band wagon. Smells like an Olympic year where non endemic media is smelling the cash that those crazy kids on a snowboad can bring.
