I’d rather fall on a sidewalk on roller skates than run into a mailbox on a bike any day of the week. I’ve done the latter and it took eight or nine stiches to close the wound. That was almost thirty years ago, maybe mailboxes are more forgiving now.
Day 2 in 1969 mode, even for the papers rerunning it for the first time (i.e The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Daytona Beach News Journal, others too numerous to think of) that havere run a “B” Peanuts daily strips back in 2005 the 1992 Peanuts reruns rather than 1969 Peanuts reruns (Though after the last 1999 Peanuts rerun ran in “B” papers towards the end of 2012 they started to carry the 1960’s Peanuts reruns along with the “A” papers)
Reminds me of comments about collisions my friends made when I was learning to drive.
There’s the law of greater mass (bigger car will hurt you worse than a smaller car). The law of greater price (you can’t afford to pay for damage to an expensive car). We had a few other such laws, and the final one was always “garbage trucks always win”.
Hey, Snoopy_Fan. This has come at short notice but I have an interview tomorrow!-I’m barely going to have time to myself this week because I was at my Work Placement today and my interview is tomorrow and then I’ll be back at my Work Placement on Thursday. I won’t be able to relax until Friday!-Oh by the way, I’d like to thank you for your kind words regarding my fall on Friday. My wrist still hurts when I press on it but my knees are OK. Thank you for your concern. You made everything better as usual.-Please wish me luck and keep me in your thoughts because it looks like it’s going to be a busy week!
Down the street..Cement curb indicates 1959…3 generations of kids have enjoyed that sidewalk…skating, surfboard skating bicycling, roller skating…down to the bottom of a 20 degree hill

Sidewalks are extremely unforgiving that way.

Happy are Hamilton Burger and the Washington Generals, who have a higher win percentage than the knees.

And why don’t you mention the boy’s knees too?

No, the girls win because they pick themselves up and carry on skating – but hopefully having learned not to forget their pads next time.

If Lucy’s knees were as hard as her head, there would be no problem!

I dated a girl once years before I was married and she was so stiff, I’m sure she was made of concrete…

Did little boys not roller skate?
