The skateboarder formerly known as Lizard King officially announced today that due to a passion overdose he will be discontuing the use of his popular nick name. However, he also wanted to make it clear he will not be using the name Mike Plumb that his parents, Momma and Poppa Lizard, gave him at birth. Instead, he has asked that everyone refer to him by the kill yo self “evil eye” symbol that has been visiting him in visions for quite some time now.
When asked as to why the sudden name change, the skateboarder formerly known as Lizard King responded, “Dude, I just got mega passion these days, ever since I started skating Mega Ramps with the vert homies I just gotta just put the passion in the air let it loose!”

There have been unconfirmed reports of moving to San Diego for Mega sessions, a new girlfriend, a crazy skateboard with lights in it courtesy of Peter Smolik, and uncontrollable fits of passion.
According to inside source Steve Clare, “Basically the skateboarder formerly known as Lizard King has just been ruling at life. I have know idea what the hell I’m supossed to call him now though, maybe just bro?”
