Take a hike

Everybody should walk more. Well, maybe not everybody. I'm pretty sure most transients walk enough. As do most mall cops, and zombies. But if you are none of those things you should consider spending less time online and more time onsidewalk (hehe). But before you do, click on the video below and go for a walk with Miranda July.

B-E-E *spoiler alert*

As many of you know, Billie Zine aggressively endorsed speller Kennyi Aouad (pictured above) in this year's National Spelling Bee. We're huge fans. Granted, we've never met Kennyi in real life, and we've never actually "seen" or "heard" him spell anything, ever, but we like his facial expressions and the way he carries himself; The kid is cool. Which is why it's difficult for us to break the following news:

He didn't win.

Some bitch from Kansas named Kavya Shivashankar took home the crown, probably by correctly spelling "Gucci" or something. Bitch.

Stay cool, Kennyi. Maybe next year.

Beeeeeep

It looks like Nesquick is putting these fantastic and possibly illegal Billboards all over the country. I saw one in real life the other day and it made me laugh out loud and press down on the middle of my steering wheel with glee. What a great idea! Whoever came up with that idea deserves a big ass gold medal and a maybe a crown.

Honk if you're happy. Superb. A bunny making a toast to happiness... Brilliant. ...with a glass of chocolate milk. A-fucking-mazing.

I for one plan to spend a bunch of money on Nesquick this weekend, and I urge you all to do the same, because THAT COMPANY DESERVES YOUR BUSINESS. It's simple, really. They are trying to make you happy and they are trying to give you chocolate milk.

LET THEM.

I hope this becomes the most successful ad campaign ever; I hope, in an attempt to copycat these billboards, every company in the world changes their mascot to a bunny, or perhaps a turtle, and urges us all to always honk. And I hope we do.

Her name was Ponyboy

Sit down, dear readers, and prepare for some tragic news.

We lost a member of the Billie Zine family last night. On the evening of Monday, May 11, 2009, Ace's bicycle was stolen from the corner of Grim and University. The bicycle—her name was Ponyboy—was mostly yellow, often shiny and entirely brave. Was she locked? Of course she was fucking locked. She was locked up good and strong, which leads us to believe that there is a gang of bicycle thieves among us who have access to futuristic lock-cutting technologies the likes of which San Diego has never seen. They probably have hoverboards, too, so be careful. If Ponyboy can be stolen, no bike is safe.

Sadly, we do not have a picture of our beloved yellow friend, but an artist rendering can be found below. You will remain in our hearts and prayers forever, Pone Pone. We miss you.
