Louie Barletta #12.
Happy Halloween!
Evil Lou slashes a noseslide across a burning plinth. This was the ad that prompted a Speed Demons week since it seems to be such an out of character sponsor for Mr. Barletta. For as much as the running gag about his age casts him as a permanent 21 year old, Louie has always seemed like a grownup to me. And by the early 2000s, Dwindle was strictly for the kids. I understand the convenience of getting bearings from your board sponsor, but I sort of figured Louie would take a pass on that option.
I've been trying to get in some skateboarding while it has been mild and we still have daylight. It's been raining the last couple days and the forecast going forward looks wet. I've been successful in rolling around, but again have had mixed results with how I'm skating. Like I've written before, I'll land enough to think I can still skate, yet I never really get a full, fun session out of it.
Have a good weekend, party smart, and don't forget to change the batteries in your smoke detectors when you flip the clocks back an hour.
