The last time we checked in with our friend Kooky Kyle it was nearly two months ago and he was about to embark on a most excellent journey for the noblest of causes (check out “Good Bye Kooky” if your lost). He was headed to Tanzania for two years in the service of the peace corps. Be assured that he is still alive, probably well, and from the sound of things most likely was not raped. Seems like a win/win all around. Limited transmissions have passed between us here at SurfingRuinedMylife.net and Kooky. Mauriello got a FaceBook.com message from him when Kooky first got out there reading “Africa is gnar bar”.
Then it was a month of silence until this week when our hero decided to grace Mauriello with following brief and vague words:
“Tanzania is okay. I am in the southern highlands outside of njombe. I have seen elephants and monkeys and shit. I am not happy with my site, but I am going there for the first time today. so I will know for sure if I am going to ask to get transferred. I am at like 6000ft elevation. So even with spf 30 I sun burn in 30 minutes”…Kooky Kyle
Fucking A’ Kooky, I guess you should have brought the SPF 50! Seriously, two months in Africa and that is all we fucking get. I have described shits that I have taken with more detail then that. In light of the weak ass passage Kooky was generous enough to share with us I have decided to take matters into my own hands and imagination and give a photographic account of what Kooky Kyle may have likely been up the past few months.
He grew a pair of breast and has been nice enough to help nurse the children
He decided the whole peace, loving helping thing was over rated and signed on with a militant group of African nationals.
I don’t even know whats going on here, but its something fucked up. Somebody tackle this guy, Kooky has run wild in Africa.
He decided the best way to handle the hunger problem was to load up a beater car with bananas and hand them out to those in need.
Once again we find our Kooky in among another wild mob scene. One thing is certain the kid has certainly been busy. Or at least that is in the warped imagination of my mind.
Yes I am terrible at photo-shopping, a terrible person and have a terrible sense of humor. In all seriousness I do hope everything is going well for Kooky. I hold the guy up to the highest of admiration for having to courage to strike off on his own to one of the heaviest places on Earth and try and do a bit of good to boot. While most people (myself included) just sit around and bitch about how fucked up the world is there are a select few who have the balls to put their money where their mouth is. Kooky Kyle is one of these people and I am more then proud to call him my friend. I can’t wait to share a drink with him at the Wild Cat and a session with him at Rincon upon is return.
***Disclaimer: This blog was written in all good fun and humor. I am not condoning any of the activities in any of these photos. Its just a good laugh for myself and some of Kooky’s other close friends who know if he could read this post he would get a laugh out of it and appreciate the stupidity.******
