I keep seeing more and more kids "sliding" around on their heels. Joshua: Yeah, really bizarre looking.

I hate them. I'm afraid I'm going to be mowed down by and out-of-control pre-adolescent who will cry if I get upset when he makes me bleed.

Fig: In my defense, the town / area I'm in normally doesn't get the latest fad until a few years after the fad starts. My wife noticed this when she first got here, from New York state. Stuff that had been wildly popular in New York a few years previous was just becoming popular in southern Ohio. Skateboarding has also recently become a huge fad here.

Oh, wait, it's 2007! You've just now noticed Heelys? Good to see you out of your cave! ;) When I worked on Honey back in 2002, one of the young actors had them. That would mark the first time I had seen them. Welcome to 2002, Josh. Oh, wait, it’s 2007! You’ve just now noticed Heelys? Good to see you out of your cave! ;)
