What is it with Smithonian students carrying a bloody skateboard everywhere... and yet it is so rare for me to actually see one of them use the bloody thing. Whilst the debate of how 'boards fit in to some kinda Sk8r Bo1 culture has no doubt been covered before, (probably no less by Annoying Avril herself) can they actually be considered a form of transport? The fact that they seem terrifical unsafe is by the by, but if you were to try and use one to get from A to B would it be in any way significantly more advantageous than walking? And if so, can that be subset against how silly you would look in trying to do so?
Also, if anyone did consider them a form of transport (as i'm inclined to believe they are only used to play with and annoy the rest of the respectable public) should they have to travel in the cycle lanes? Whilst they would be an incredible annoyance to cyclists if people did use them as a form of transport more regularly (and if Smithonian's did a bit more with them than just carry them everywhere under there studenty arms) is it then the general unsuspecting pavement using public that would have to suffer youth's and general scruffy student ruffians 'boarding towards us at medium slow speed, whilst they career in god knows what next direction?!
I think it is an important (and in no way 'grumpy old codgerish') debate of our time
Generic Shithead
p.s. no sex yesterday either but i did think about different ways to scare cats.
