We Make Brand New Abandoned Pools For Our Children To Skateboard In

My reason for refusing to sanction the bylaw made by the borough council of Stoke Newington was that I have received no evidence that the dangers arising from roller-skating by boys and girls are so much greater than the ordinary dangers of traffic in the streets, particularly motor traffic, that the practice ought to be prohibited by by-law. Such a by-law would create a new offence punishable by the criminal law, and, if sanctioned in one metropolitan borough, punishable only when committed in one particular locality not divided from the rest of London by any noticeable boundary, it would lead to the imposition of fines, and possibly to the detention and imprisonment of children and young persons for indulging in a form of amusement which would be legal on one side of the road and illegal on the other. I am very reluctant to increase the number of occasions when the children of the poorer classes may be brought into the police-court and rendered liable to imprisonment.  -Winston Churchill

It's Like Ballet, Only With Tasers And Glocks And Harleys

Soundtrack? Of course you know this means WAR!

When We Were Little...

... we used to read comic books. There's be some dude in a weird spandexy outfit, maybe a cape, kinda gaudy looking. He'd just jump off of things, big things, and fly all around and then land. It was pretty sweet.

I don't remember a crummy soundtrack, though.

Teenage Boys Generally Refuse To Clean Their Rooms, But They Have Been Known To Rifle Through The Trash For Musical Instruments

The Borderline Sociopathic Boy's Toolbox Contains Six Hammers And A Roll Of Duct Tape, So This Should Be Easy

The only problem I see is that printer ink costs $4 billion per gallon already. It's bound to get more expensive if they use that scanner on Scarlett Johansson and start selling the result.
