When Monkey and Squirrel posted a Facebook link to these vintage roller skates, I was hypnotized. Visions of me "Shooting the Duck" on Pecan Ave. came flooding to my mind, and before I knew it, I had logged into both Etsy and Paypal, and pressed "confirm."

Really, Nikki? Roller skates? I haven't ridden roller skates since 1990 with my Brownie troop. It's like riding a bike though, right? Except it's 8 wheels, you're standing and you don't have to pedal. Shit. I better get some knee pads.

At least I can listen to this sweet Matias Aguayo song in my walkman as I bloody my knees.
