Buuut No0o0o00o...my plan was thwarted when a FEMALE pizza girl came strolling up. Iwould have felt bad doinbg that to her. It's scary enough delivering pizzas for a guy,I could just imagine how scary it is sometimes for a female.

I also did the sock skating in the hall, especially when the hardwood floors had been waxed. I'd forgotten about the glue skin! Also did the soda can clomping and the chains of soda/beer can pop tops. Daisy chains anyone?

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I think so, Brain, but if they called them "sad meals" no one would buy them.

Do they still make those skates? I remember them when I was a kid in the 70s, but not sure if today's kids would have them or not.... Mommies?
