Roller skating
Okay. I used to rock on skates (quads, not in-lines). I have a guy friend who joined a men's roller derby team last night. Between that, and capone's thread about his wife joining a women's team, it made me want to put on my skates again. Went to a public session tonight. My skates are now too small for me (but I did try wearing them for half an hour), so I rented some that fit. It's much more difficult than I remember it being the last time I had them on, which was ten years ago. Finally got my groove back though. I called dad, and he told me to just wait until I go to get up in the morning...lol.
Anyway, I was excited to get to go, and it's definitely good exercise. No wonder I was a skinny kid. No reason for the thread. Just wanted to share. |

I thought the CP rules cleared stated that any post with James Caan skating in overalls was a bannable offense.

That was a big thing back when I was a kid growing up in Hays, Kansas. It was I think 6th grade & I got my first kiss there one Friday night.

I've been roller skating in a rink once in my life. There was some sort of party when I was in about 10th grade, and I went even though I didn't know how to skate because there was a geeky blonde girl that I had kind of a crush on. I put on my skates and went out there with stiff knees and fell down a few times, and then the geeky blonde girl came over and smiled at me through her big braces and held out her hand as I sat on the floor. I got up and she held my hand, keeping me steady as we made a couple of shaky circuits around the rink. Then she let me go and I was in love. The next day at school I asked her out and the metal-laced smile disappeared and the insides of her eyebrows went down, and she politely said no and excused herself, and my heart was broken in two. I never went back to the rink.

This was always a good workout for me about 30 years ago. and there were always hot chicks hanging out at the roller rink.. do roller rinks even exist today? I mean they used to have a dj and everything back then.

We have two here. The dj is different though. They just have to program in some songs, and their good to go. I remember when they had to change records.

This thread inspired me to look up the geeky blonde girl, who I haven't thought about in 20+ years. I found a current picture of her, and as a result it changes my story from a sad ending to a happy ending without changing a word.

I never could roller skate. I have an old friend in his mid-30s who drives OTR. He keeps his skates in his truck and visits roller rinks around the country for exercise.

Olivia Newton John was an amazing beauty and had real talent.
Imagine a hotter girl than Katy perry and who could actually sing without auto-tunes. |
