My girlfriend’s little brother has these shoes called Heelys. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen them, but long story short, there just shoes with wheels in the heel part, so you kinda just lean your feet backwards and fucking viola! You’re rolling!

Also known as “lawsuits”
Now the punk/skater despising side of me says “Good for these little shithead bastards. I hope they all fall and crack their heads open on 30 flights of stairs.” But the immature/kid side of me says “These are fucking awesome! I must have a pair now!”
Today I finally caved and said “To hell with what other people say! Walking is overrated and if I can roll half the time I’m on my feet, well that just makes my life 50% easier/more dangerous.” So I head over to Journey’s at The Shoppes at Montage to chat it up with my friend Manny, the manager, who had set aside a pair for me.

For those who don’t know what a Journey’s is
I get there and he hands me the box and I open it and lo and behold are prolly the coolest looking shoes I’d ever seen. White with red and black, which are basically my favorite colors. This is even more awesome because they’re the largest pair in stock and the only one’s left. The heavens smiled upon me at that moment.
Unfortunately, they were only smiling for a moment, because when I tried them on, even a size 12 was tighter than a dog’s asshole. Manny then informed me that Heelys doesn’t make a size bigger than 12 because it’s cost prohibitive for them to manufacture shoes for “adults” and, apparently, I’m the only douchebag on the planet over the age of 15 who actually wants a pair.
How does a company get away with offering something as awesome as the Heelys and descriminate against adults? What, just because I’m 26 I have to walk everywhere? I mean, sure, I can drive, but what’s the fun in that? I wanna get drunk and Heely down the hill I live on!

This could have been me, damnit!
