Skateboards: Form of transport or Fashion Accessory?

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

p.s. no sex yesterday either but i did think about different ways to scare cats.

Sex and Royalism

Naturally, I agree with everything in the below blog from Style-less Tramp (especially in anything that derides our "friend" Petunia - have i mentioned before that this does not constitute as bullying?)

So, in response... What i, Generic Shithead, have done today (as i feel i have fully imbued the previous blogs message and should write thus) :

I have had many conversations; naturally many of them very intelligent (with me being the most intelligent, natch) and full of countless beautiful swearing. I have pondered on many occasions about my life, this that and the other and...oh. I haven't had sex today. Definitely no sex... I have thought about it a few times (Style-less Tramp was very well attired today, and Petunia and Ledger Hair are not unattractive) but have not enacted any such acts. More key, is i am still not a monarch of any sort (and depressingly can't profess to have any plans to become such, either). This is simply unacceptable! Why on earth am i not King G S? This is especially intolerable considering my family heritage (some people don't have one... not naming names...Petunia) If any one is down with Royalism it is me and i think it is about time some small island or principality or such took me up as their king or god.

Thus concludes my day. Generic Shithead
