Yesterday I learned that roller skating still exists. I thought it was just a bitter part of my youth. When I was the biggest dork in class (only that last 44 years or so) roller skating was the thing to do for school parties. When I first started skating I was pretty good at nasty falls, landing on my rumpus, and embarrassing myself in front on the girl I had a crush on at the moment. Then I got better and skating disappeared. And when it disappeared, I thought it was gone forever. It did for a while, but then the roller blade thing came back, and then I thought they disappeared again. Now they let all the things on the rink, including scooters. I was kind of glad it came back though, because I was hoping I would capture some nasty falls on camera for my gifture film company, but there were very few falls, and when there were, of course I was not filming. Arrrghhh, I guess these giftures will just have to do.
This is one time…
And this not how you fight…
And good thing we didn’t put these geniuses…
It wasn’t ice skating…
Have you ever seen the game Lemmings…
Now that is how you quarterback…
If you’re going to bring down the stage…
At a teen dance…
Why couldn’t I capture…
Hey guys…
Why do you think…
Cool trick bro…
Until next time…may your skates tangle you up for a great fall, may your alley only oop, may your fall not only happen in the autumn but all year long.
ARRRRGGGHHHHH

My husband still likes to roller skate. I walk, because I’m quick, and he roller skates next to me. He’s 6’2″ without the skates, and I’m 5’1″, so we look totally ridiculous next to each other even when he doesn’t add the extra 6″ of the skates. I can only imagine what people think when they pass us.

The truck that nailed those two guys was hysterical. All I could think of was the 40 year old Virgin where Steve Carell is stuck in the car with Leslie Mann and they get T-boned. She says, “That guy came out of nowhere!” Exactly. The element of surprise.
The other gif I truly enjoyed was the stage collapsing. Why couldn’t that happen to Justin Bieber? Are we not that lucky?
I love skating. Now let’s bring back the limbo.

I keep hoping that I can be on a stage where Beiber appears so I can make the stage fall on him. And we can all pretend to be sad about his tragedy.
