Fried fat.

The other day I was at Berkeley skatepark A skatepark is a purpose-built recreational environment for skateboarders, bmxers and aggressive skaters to ride and develop their sport and technique. A skatepark may contain half-pipes, quarter pipes, handrails, trick boxes, vert ramps, pyramids, banked ramps, full pipes, stairs,  shredding shred  
n.
1. A long irregular strip that is cut or torn off.

2. A small amount; a particle: not a shred of evidence.

 with my crew, and this kook showed up who has been ruining spots like it's going out of style. I'm sure by now you've heard of him; not going to drop his name and make him famous, but he's the guy at the park with the magnets on the bottom of his shoes connecting him to his skateboard. He has been known to build bigger trannies Trannies has several meanings.
  • Trannies is the plural of tranny, a colloquial form for various things like transistor, transmission, transparency, transvestism, or transsexual.
  • The Trannies were an online fan-culture awards show.
 in backyard pools so that it is easier for him to reach the coping, and he tries dating girls that are over 20 years younger than him and shit like that. Anyway, he showed up at my park and I told his punk-ass to get the fuck on. So this kook pulls out a can of mace Mace, chemical spray
Mace, chemical spray device used by police in riot control. Mace is ordinary tear gas (chloroacetophenone, or CN) in a volatile solvent contained in a spray can. It causes severe lacrimation and temporary blindness.
 and swings his board at my head. I forgot to mention I'm 15 and this guy is over 30--maybe even 40. After I duck and land a hard right to his dome, he pulls out his cell phone and calls the cops. Can you just imagine? "Hello, officer, I'm a 36-year-old man and I'm getting my ass kicked by a 15-year-old. Can you please rescue me?" I wanted to let you all know that if you see this kook come to your park, hide the 15-year-old girls and kick him out before he barnstorms his total barneyness all over the place. He was featured awhile back as one of the "Worst Dudes Dudes may refer to:
  • Plural of dude
  • The Dudes, a Canadian band
  • Th'Dudes, a New Zealand band
 Ever," and I'm here to let you know that Worst Dude Ever is an understatement for this kook.
