Im waxin down so that I go really fast

Almost as if to say to the weather, "we dont care that its snowing in late April after a week of 64+ degree days," we went ice skating Friday. The usual crowd was there. You had the hockey boys there who convinced their girl friends to destroy their feet while they wore their perfect fitting Bauer and CCM skates. There was the figure skater chicks (my wife and her friend), working on their routine for the show. There were the idiots (my friends and I) who arent shaped right for ice skating anymore but arent afraid to make fools of themselves. Last but not least there was the creepy middle aged man with the expensive figure skates, headphones and little white gloves.

The skates were proving that they were capable of causing much more pain than anyone who was not already frozen would have immediately ended. Being the gluttons for pain that we are we decided that a synchronized dive would be necessary. We all got on the ice and started getting our speed up. The plan was to circle the rink until there was a clearing and then all dive at the blue line and see who could slide the farthest.

In the end it was determined that we all lost. Kato punctured his lung. Shedu broke his femur. I dislocated my shoulder. Were not sure what happened to uglytaco, but its rumored he teleported to Chicago.
