A curmudgeonly rant

Heelys need to be outlawed. Parents who buy their "precious snowflakes" Heelys should be drawn and quartered. I was out with the family at the local yogurt place and this darling child practically knocked me over because she lost control on her Heelys. No apology, no "excuse me", no nothing.

:grr:

1. Are those things the springy sneakers? n/t

[KitchenWitch]

3. No, they are the shoes with the wheels in the heels.

[LeftyFingerPop]

4. Oh yes, I've seen them...

and I've seen kids get out of control with them.

2. a pox on heelys. I was on a plane and there were 2 kids wearing them, both of them

landed squarely on their asses in the middle of the aisle.

5. They are a health hazard. I'd hate to see what would

happen if they tripped on the stairs. How can you step up or down with those things?

They need to be banned period. Bring back the rollerrink.

7. They were a dumb idea, since they only seem to work

on the smooth floors of stores and malls. I am sure they have been sued many times, so I expect this to be a passing fad.

13. Don't know how "passing" it is. I first saw them about 4-5 years ago.

8. I saw a kid rolling up to the pew in church on those things.

But then her mother grabbed her shoulder and made her stop rolling.

If it had been on the way to or from communion, I think she'd have gotten in real trouble.

9. I can't imagine a parent actually letting their child wear those to church.

What are people thinking?

:wtf:

10. Heely's are cool. Life is fun. Kids are beautiful.

And church is fake.

11. Damn you, wheeley shoes!

Those things annoy the hell out of me. :argh:

12. You forgot something...

you need to add...

"Hey you Damn KIDS!!! Get off my LAWN!!!!!!!"
