Not cool.
The Surf Ranch Pro presented by Adobe gets underway this Friday June 18 and we know this, for a fact, because nature is not responsible for the waves but rather 11x World Champion Kelly Slater and his custom built sled.
Very cool.
Not very cool is that Friday June 18 is forecasted to have a daytime high of 111f or 44c.

Yikes.
Social scientists know that 111 in Lemoore actually feels like 164f 73c due the way heat sticks to bovine flatulence then expands.
Real scientists are generally worried about a mass spontaneous human combustion event.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica:
Descriptions of spontaneous human combustion date back to the 17th century, with a large number of cases recorded in the 19th century and a handful in the 20th and 21st centuries. Altogether, there are a few hundred recorded possible cases. Although the scientific support for spontaneous human combustion was weaker than Dickens stated, it was a widely discussed phenomenon in his time. The public largely accepted it as a reality on moral grounds. The victims were often alcoholic and overweight, and more were female than male, so there was a general perception that it was a kind of retribution for a debauched lifestyle. This idea was reinforced by lurid newspaper accounts of suspected cases. It made intuitive sense, after all, that a body saturated with a flammable substance—alcohol—would become flammable.
Nothing says “debauched lifestyle” like Surf Ranch.
Retribution imminent.
Sorry Kelly Slater.
“You keep on knockin but you can’t come in!”
Can’t wait for this contest! Looking forward to falling asleep on the couch 10 minutes into the first day
It seems to me rolling blackouts would pose a more imminent threat.
Then again I’m sure Kelly runs the Ranch on biodiesel or solar power so it may be safe
I haven’t. The guy’s a cunt.
Why did Eric Clapton make the switch from PC to Apple?
Well because he had a horrible experience with windows. – Neil Hamburger
What’s the difference between a bag of cocaine and a baby?
Clapton would never let a bag of cocaine fall out of a window.
“The Black w—s and c—s and Arabs and f—ing Jamaicans don’t belong here, we don’t want them here,” Also Clapton
nice guy he is.. didn’t he take his best mates lady too.. seems like a swell chap
Good movie and true story.
I’m in Phoenix right now and it’s 115 and smokey from a fire about 50 miles from here.
Good times.
Catch one for me! lol
It’s fitting that the company that made the media tools to create an alternate pseudo reality for the device generation would sponsor the fake wave event.
If by spontaneous combustion you mean me flicking a cigarette at the puddle of fuel yeah.

The Surf Ranch contest may be dull as fuck, but at least it will be hot enough for the local trailer trash to smoke their meth without a torch.
Which “surf ranch” do you think, this lovely property, neighbors?https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Lemoore. Sac Valley is all kinds of gnarly.
how much $$ do they want for that sweet dumpster in front?
Hopefully these people can make money somehow off the people driving by their house on the way to the surf ranch. That fence in the front yard is incredible. California is America all in one state. A liberal coast with a conservative middle that live in different worlds.
Nice to hear that something spontaneous might happen at this event.
looking forward to your memes Pauly Matt!
they’re usually, ahem, spontaneous, but I’ve had one cooked up for days that’s cracking me up.
Goat comment of the year so far.
Kelly’s waiting comfortably.

Outer Klown Fall ’22
I wonder what would AI say about the WSL and the tub…
the I-5 corridor has to be one of the heaviest-volumed drug trafficking routes in California, which puts it up there pretty high on the global scale. He’d be amped
Hell yea, travelling to foreign countries with an opiate addiction is another matter. America is an exception when it comes to access to opiates everywhere. Nothing worse than running out with no connections. AI would probably of had a fun time at the local Motel Six and won the contest the next day.
It’s easy to smuggle your opiods amongst the bottle of nurofens
Not these days I had a bunch of unmarked codeine coming from Costa Rica and they got me, just made me dump them.
Here they even made mydol prescription only.
Not good for those on the rag.
Read what the drug prices are in AU on reddit, yikes. Tom Carrol must be broke. Liked to watch the show live PD where they pull over people in South Carolina and arrest them for a few grams of weed, while I’m trimming my plants and have fifteen pounds in my closet legally. California is a good state.
That shit cracks me up. Cops find a roach in some poor hicks pickup ashtray in Alabamistan and the cops act like its the bust of the year.
And if they found any weed that smells OK instead of Mexican brick weed, they would say “looks like we found some Kush imported from California that’s highly addictive so this was a good bust”
Haha yeah ‘skunk weed’. I’ve heard it described that way like its crack.
Not fun in Baja either.
Gateway drug
Be careful.
Gabby is tearing it up in cow shit town during practice sessions. Hope he dosn’t melt.
He’s a real allrounder
lol!
Doing that going to a muslim country would test my nerve. They would probably see the sweat dripping off my face and check everything.
If you take a few beforehand it tends to make a smooth passage
Yes.
Truth
prob something about good local heroin….then he’d burn a board in front of some old men who were never rebellious.
something with the “F” word!
I guess those hot tubs and fire pits won’t see much action… sounds like a total fuckin nightmare to be landlocked like that in those kinda temps for a surf contest of all things.
I wanna imagine the high temps, fire pits, hot tubs, etc. present the binary opposite approach to Wim Hoff. I’m over hearing about him. Plus, it’s probably more beneficial to one’s long-term health to learn how to hold your breath for long, oxygen-deprived stretches in California’s beloved San Joaquin Valley, what with the bovine gas and all. Way rather not breathe there than say in a glacier or whatnot, know what I mean?
Yeah like the end scene in Total Recall where their eyes are popping out of their heads.
They can sit in the hot tub to cool off.
Back when I was a debauched youth, having good nights out with many alcoholic beverages, an occasional party trick was lighting ones farts. Oh how we giggled at the various colours and flames produced. And also how the girls we were trying to impress, (with our whimsical approach to life), weren’t. At one of these ‘events’, there was some (limited) pondering on the possibility of spontaneous combustion. No conclusions were reached, or possibly even possible due to the many alcoholic beverages.
Now I’m wondering if I was a younger peer of Bicko, could the combination of the FLU* and The Dance of the Flaming Arseholes been the more definitive answer?
*Fart Lighters Union. One of our number even made up a screen for quite professional t-shirts. FLU in large block letters with a half burnt match.
I had a friend that was unable to burp (never met a person like that before or since) which resulted in voluminous amounts of air constantly escaping his ass. Besides being an accredited member of FLU, he enjoyed farting on/by tourists when they walked by him as he was putting on his wettie.
*in samwaters voice*
Mother Nature, she cannot be tamed, the harder we try, that’s why it will never beat the real thing, not for us soul surfers
” Da Cat” warned us that the Bu would get overrun by Gremmies because of all the publicity in movies like Gidget etc. Luckily I still have secret spots like Hermosa Beach to still catch some curls.
Sang for the Slashers you told Hermosa Beach
So you used to be a surfer in Huntington Beach
You’re a liar if you follow all trends
Get out of here asshole, you’ve got no friends
I know lot of old punk lyrics but not those lines.
Adolescents/No Friends
Oh shit I have that album.
“Chandler? I thought he was dead.”
sounds Les Misérables
Tres Miserables
