Inline Skates Discussions | | Roller Skating | | What's the trick? I could never figure it out. Some of my most memorable, embarrassing stories relate to skating, gravity, and physical discomfort. Christmas Eve, around the age of seven, was when I was first introduced to rollerblades. They looked like extraterrestrial machine guns when my sister took them out of the box. My sister was ecstatic. She had been wishing for those clunky things for a long time. On Christmas Day, she gleefully opened up all of her presents, but I don't think Santa's gifts were of much interest to her, because as soon as everyone was finished unwrapping, she begged to go outside and try out the skates our grandmother had gifted her the night before. She strapped on her helmet, fastened her padding, and buckled on her rollerblades. Actually, these particular ones were called rollerball skates, skates with two balls that looked as if they escaped from a pool table. These differed from the safer, more commonly used, four-wheel inline skates. My twin sister was a very talented gymnast at the time. Man, did she have balance. As soon as she buckled her skates on, she was rolling gracefully down the driveway like it was the easiest thing in the world.... | |

| | heres a giggle of the day | | Over 40 dress code
-------------------
Many of us "Old Folks" (those over 40, WAY over 40 or hovering near) are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions. Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:
1. A nose ring and bifocals
2. Spiked hair and bald spots
3. A pierced tongue and dentures
4. Miniskirts and support hose
5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads
6. Speedo's and cellulite
7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar
8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor
9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge
10. Bikinis and liver spots
11. Short shorts and varicose veins
12. inline skates and a walker
13. Thongs and Depends[em]rasp[/em][em]lol[/em][em]rasp[/em] | |

| | Shonen Bat | | If you haven't watched it yet, there's this character there wearing golden inline skates and weilds a bent gold bat. He appears everytime people are at their wits end and stressed from their current predicament. That's when the bat comes in handy^_^If you were like those characters in the anime and stressed out at their wits end, would you like shonen bat as well to appear infront of you and hit you with his bat, a kind of escape from all the worries in life, as it seems? | |
| | Are there new rules for drivers in Britain? | | I have lost count of the amount of times I have almost been run over in the past twelve months. I had this idea that if a car was going to turn a corner it would signal so on a number of occassions I have begun to cross a side road, chacking that none of the traffic was signalling to turn, only to be almost run over by a motorist who had not bothered to signal. I have also been quite happily walking on the pavement and vans have just driven right in fron of me, no signals and sometimes they don't even slow down. Have the rules changed, can each driver just drive where they want to without signalling or have drivers just got worse and more selfish over the years? | |
