Heeling

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

These have been around for years, surely?

My mate's brother bought a pair when he came down to visit us in London, oh, ages ago now. Nearly broke his ankle, too.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

No idea. Hadn't heard of them before I read the article.

I saw a link to the page and thought it was about the new shoe line that's getting all the advertisng lately.

Can't remember the name of that shoe line though.

:o :eyebrow: :lol:

I think they've been bubbling under popular culture for a while now, maybe they're just a slow-burning craze...

Yeah, they've been popular amongst the kids for a while over here, I believe.


Basing that upon kids coming into my deli and scooting around on our hardwood floors occasoinally. They think they're SOO cool.

Me, I look at them and go, "Eeesh, my ankles are too fragile for that."
Damn, I'm old.

They're well on the way out here in Singapore.

I don't think they came in my size either.
