with Dane Burman
Has anyone ever said that you bear a striking resemblance to Alfred E. Newman of Mad Magazine cover fame? Has anyone ever said you act like him?
When I was younger I used to shave my head, but I stopped cause my ears stick out a lot. Yah, I guess so...a little bit.
Just wondering... so where do you come from Dane Burman?
Australia. Sydney...the gay district. Oxford Street.
Is this your first time in the states? What do you think so far?
It's a very fun place to visit, but I don't think i'd want to live here. Cause I wouldn't be with any of my friends from home...that's it.
What's a day in the life of Dane in OZ versus a day in the life of Dane in the US?
At home I usually get up at 10, catch a train into the city, skate the park all day, and go home. At Black Box, it's up at 10, come into the team room, watch videos for 8 hours, maybe go skate in the wild, eat subway, skate the park, and go to sleep.
SWITCH F/S FLIP
What's with that "Bay Watch" tattoo on your arm?
I just really like Pamela Anderson cause she's hot. It says "Bay Boys". It's Oyster Bay...where we used to skate when we were young. It's me and my homies. Only two of us ever got around to the tat.
How do you feel about vegemite?
Pretty good in small amounts. Take it orally. Bread with cheese. It's gross if you eat it wrong.
Crocodile Hunter or Crocodile Dundee?
Crocodile Hunter, he's way cooler. Dundee is getting done up for tax evasion right now.
Ever been on a walkabout through the outback?
Not proper outback...wait, what the fuck's a walkabout?
You need to rent Crocodile Dundee man...What's up with your teeth? Does OZ have the same oral reputation as the UK?
I was meant to get braces, but I never got around to it. I'm afraid of the dentist. I don't think so...someone told me that I'm a bronzed Australian with perfect teeth...he must have had vision problems.
Number one fave Ozzie of all time?
Skater, Mumford. Human, Nick Cave.
Bonus Question Mr. Burman: As an Australian, why the fuck don't you drink?
I'm already enough of an asshole without drinking.
