I forgot about roller blades


I was walking home earlier today and saw a girl in her early 20's roller blading. This caught me by surprise, because I hadn't passed by any time portals to the 90's that she must have used to enter our realm.

It got me to thinking about back when I was a kid when roller blading was the shit. My cousin and I would roller blade during our summers in Florida, and it was hilarious because our mothers REQUIRED that we wear those awesome-looking OFFENSIVELY NEON green knee pads and elbow pads. We must have looked like the goofiest creatures in the world. Especially because all our neighbors were at least 80 years old and the only thing they could possibly relate to roller blades are those old-timey bicycles with one enormous wheel in the front that you can only ride whilst wearing a top hat.

Oh hahahah and that just reminded me of this one super-old neighbor we had who was a complete turd. He was come outside yelling FURIOUSLY if we ever set foot on his lawn to chase a frisbee or something. We would always get him back though. We always made my dog take a dump on his lawn when we took him out for a walk.

Roller blades: greatest invention the world has ever seen. Anything that can compliment the banana hammock so perfectly can't be ALL bad, right?
