Here first: Target to buy DC!

Come buy your skate shoes at America's finest retailer!

Our surf/skate/snow world is just the craziest, no? One minute Quiksilver stock is trading at 0.60 American cents and the next thing Target is set to buy DC which is owned by Quiksilver! The shoe company that used to swathe Dane Reynolds’ glorious feet as well as Andy Irons and Nyjah Huston. Who’s Nyjah? Only the world’s most boring/winning skateboarder! So boring!

The rumor is, of course, totally unsubstantiated but also like Kelly Slater buying Firewire probably totally maybe true! Maybe!

In any case, the sale could spring Quik from the depths of 0.60 American cents despond and relaunch happy times for the brand we all love. It could also be good for Target because whatever they touch turns to gold. Can you say hello Brother Andino? And Nyjah? Who cares! So boring! So painfully boring that I’m happy he don’t surf!

Stay tuned here, as always, for the stories so unsubstantiated that no one else will publish but so true that no one else will also publish.
