After about three such incidents, you will be banned from ever wearing Heelys to Disney again (just like everyone else), but each Cast member who appreciates you will donate something of value.
1)Where do I go to get the license? 2)I like gift cards for baby stuff! :p: :p: :p:

BTW, had a girl bump past me in them the other day at Epcot. Just a brush, but, being that I'm 5 mo. pregnant, her dad looked really, really embarrassed! :twisted:
...not embarrassed enough to have her take them off, though.
There was a little person on the Amazing Race who used her heelies to let her cousin tow her through airports at a run. [twitch]
A truly embarrassed father would have read her the riot act, made her apologize and taken her wheels. Creep.

Oh, I need to find that on youtube or something. That is greatness. That's why I want heelies, so I can get towed around. But only cause I'm lazy and I'm looking for ways to increase my laziness.

For the ultimate in laziness, I plan to rig up some sort of device that will allow me to steer/control an ECV that pulls my fat butt behind it on my heelies. :p:

ROFL! The "complete stranger" thing reminds me of when Mr. Syndrome and I used to live near an indoor wave pool. We'd rent tubes and paddle out to the deep end to wait for the wave cycles. We'd ride on top of the tubes, and during each cycle complete strangers would drift over, hang on to the side of the tube for a while, then drift away. I guess they would get exhausted trying to tread water for the whole cycle, so they'd find a quick, temporary "friend" among the tube renters.

I was at the mall tonight.
I think I found my dream job. I was chatting with the guy at Journey's while my wife bought some new reef's with the bottle opener. I'm eyeing the reef's with built in flask so I can smuggle alcohol into the MK. Anyway I asked about heelies, and if kids wear them out of the store and bust ass as soon as they leave the store. He said yep, happens all the time (come on saturday for a good show) and only 5% of them are smart enough to hang onto mom or dad. The employees laugh everytime and it never gets old.
Now if only they would pay my hourly rate...

Ah yes...I've told kids to stop skating and to take the wheels out. I had one parent tell me they were so hard to take out and would it be ok if they promised not to roll in them. I said no. It's for safety. (Gods you wouldn't believe how many times I agrue "it's for safety" and people get pissy with me)
Look parents, its not safe. Don't yell at me cause your kid is doing something unsafe in my park. Cause look for one I'm a lazy B*tch and hate filling out paperwork for when your kid gets hurt. Two my job as an attractions RO is safety first and formost. So take the damn wheels out of the shoes or better yet leave them at home.
