I had one of these, an 1971 Audi 100 ls, in high school. A hand-me-down from my grandma, to my older brother, to me. Quirky, yet awesome.0

Then the boys would skate over to the girls and pick out a girl to skate with, for one song, then the DJ would say 'switch partners!' and give the guys a few minutes to pick out another girl, and then play another song. They'd do this for 3 songs. Keep in mind these were all elementary aged kids. How embarrassing!
I remember line and partner skates but nothing like you mention... unless i have blocked such things out
We could only request songs to be played....but look out when they did!
Ahh I want to go skating now but I think there are only rollerblades in my garage.... dont think it would end well anyway :oops:
Have you been roller skating lately? I took my niece and nephew, and it was like a time warp. Snack bar, disco lights, 80's decor, video games, and skee ball. Still doing 'shoot the duck' The music was the same, too. I don't think I had heard PYT in 25 years! Plus, it's like riding a bike; just get up and go.0 -

Not sure if this was mentioned but ladies who else took turns with their friends checking out "Are you there God, it's me Margaret" from the school library??? I was so freaking out about this belt contraption I would have to wear when aunt flo showed up :oops:0 -
These I loved.

All these pictures of cars. Here's something like the first new car my dad bought. Color is correct.
And my parents had that natural reaction to raise their arm when braking because we were always standing up on the front seat.#FHP0 -

I would defiantly need old school skates.... but everything thing you describe makes me want to go even more especially the skee ballThere is a rink not too far from me. I'm feeling like I might just have to go.

Oh man, that takes me back. I had a pair of these chucks:
That my wife affectionately refers to as my "Clown Shoes". Plus about 10 other colors of all-stars.
It's all come full circle though, for christmas this year she bought me a pair of these..."You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

It's exciting to go to your mailbox and see a random letter.
Now all I see are bills and junk mail :evil:
Agreed!

Not surprised but still kinda sad to see that Encyclopedia Britannia will no longer print editions. 244years
Either you had a set of these bad boys or off to the library you went.“This is a ah another request fulfillment. If none of the other of you like it at least one guy does. Actually it’s a girl, she’s right back there.”
