...sheets of tinfoil stripped from Krong Tip cigarette packets. Now, as the flushes of artificial energy recede and the realization surfaces that there's no more money anywhere in this hut, Jacky is crashing hard and she hates everyone and everything. Especially Bing. She hates that sponging little punk for all of the tablets he smoked a few hours ago?tablets she could be smoking right now. Back then, she had a dozen tablets packed into a plastic soda straw stuffed down her black, wire-frame bra. The hut was alive with the chatter of a half dozen speed addicts...
...fictional border town of Palomar; his drawings display a warm voluptuousness clearly influenced by the superhero comics of the '60s that the brothers read as boys.

In Jackass's case, the connection is more than theoretical: Knoxville first made his Taser video for the skateboarding magazine Big Brother--the skate and punk communities have a long, symbiotic relationship--and many of his show's stunts are straight out of skate-punk culture. The big difference...
...when Rice's Athletics Director asked that KTRU double the number of baseball and women's basketball games it broadcasts. The Advisory Committee eventually decided on a formula halfway between the status quo and the proposal. Simultaneously, two Rice DJs lodged a public protest. The two arrived for their punk-ska shift on one day in late November and discovered that a women's basketball game had not yet ended. Angry, the two decided to broadcast their show right over the basketball broadcast stream...
