1. This isn't twitter, hashtags don't work here - they just make you look like you've accidentally posted to the wrong site.
2. Your post just sounds like "look at me I can skate and talk skater slang aren't I cool guys? ... Guys?"
3. Given the two most common interpretations of the word "bombing" are illegal activities, you should be more careful with your choice of words.
4. Related: Hasbro Beyblade Commercials.
5. Skateboarding is actually boring to people with no interest in it, no matter what season it is done in.

1) Sorry for being a twitter addict.

1) Keep it on twitter.
2) If you say so.
3) Good.
4) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a6RQDZ4hd0 etc etc. You just need to start using the phrase "game changer" as often as most people use the word "like".
5) This is true, and I was merely stating my own. That said, there are also the topic rules in the first post, and the amount of slang in your post starts to push it towards the limits of the first rule, seeing as it alienates anyone who doesn't understand that particular vernacular. That said, I don't think it actually breaks that rule, but I'd try to use more mainstream terminology in future, if only because it will mean more people may be interested in what you're saying.

Though, we do technically have a skateboarding topic, gathering dust: http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Anybody-...ard?page=6

I was on Facebook and I saw a comment that was in reply to someone else's. The part that got me interested said:
"Then I guess you don't want to read the REAL Little Mermaid story."
Childhood ruined forever. Read at own risk.

Most "original" versions of fairy tales tend to be quite twisted, actually. They were just toned down because people were more worried about ruining kids' childhoods (or something like that?).

Speaking of that, take a look at this part of a nursery rhyme called "Oranges and Lemons":

^Dang. How many kids were scarred for life from that, you think? "Good night, Timmy, don't let the chopper chop off your head! *trollface*"

I knew they were twisted, but this is just... *shiver*.

Especially Sleeping Beauty...

Snow White and Rumpelstiltskin were the worst twisted ones in my opinion.

Eat her organs for dinner? Dj - Uh.

Ripping himself in half?!?!?! Smithicide

Haha, the way that song develops is used really nicely in 1984, probably my favourite book of all time, and the sinister nature of those lines has been used/referenced many, many times in various media.

At least he has a Safety Torch. Anyway those tales are pretty different. In Cinderella, the original almost make her the bad guy...

Jeez, Yesterday wasn't the best day of my life, starting with the Euros.

I practically died, I'm not even joking, I did't eat or drink anything for 6 hours, causing me to get dizzy and I couldn't see. My mom told me that I was pale. My bro was just standing there like nothing was happening.
anyways, I survived, live and well.

So thats why kids, you need to eat!

If only six hours put you in this condition, you should probably mention this episode to your doctor.

The average individual can usually go about 8 or more hours without suffering even the most mild of hypoglycemic symptoms, assuming their previous meal was remotely filling.

I'm a hypoglycemic and even I can go longer than eight hours on occasion.

I am not necessarily hypoglycemic, but I probably could not last six hours myself, considering that I can become very hungry only one hour after eating a relatively full meal.
Jul. 02, 2012  5:02 PM
 
I had suffered from such a thing last year when I was unable to see where my pen was, while writing, and I felt too weak. However, I dont think I am hypoglycemic because during the Mumbai event on Beydays, I stayed without food for almost 9 hours and the meal I had before that wasn't too heavy either. I guess it was equivalent to 2 grilled sandwiches.

So Saturday I was bombing my neighborhood streets with some fireworks. Not really bombing at first, because they were just tiny little ones that fly up and do nothing else.
Anyways, the neighbor across the street asked if I had a tube for the big ones, so I went and opened up one of mine, and got the tube out. We launched one, which was pretty cool. He then brought out some bottlerockets (now, these are really illegal, even in Washington (I live in Oregon)). He was timing the fuse, and throwing them in the air. It was pretty fun to watch. He let my friend and I light off a few too. He then handed me a strip of firecrackers, told me to light them and give them a little toss. When they went off, it sounded like a machine gun. It was so damn loud, but man oh man, it was awesome.
Now here's the cool part. After, he dug through some fireworks from last year, and found two little packs of bottlerockets (15 each), a strand of firecrtackers, a GIANT M-5000, and two Roman Candles. He said I could have them if I just clean up the little mess we made.

Then, Sunday, my mom and I were helping clean my grandparents garage. We ended up finding a pack of 20 tube fireworks. Now these are the real legit ones, with a bunch of pretty colors.
TL;DR: I like fireworks, and I keep getting more and more.

Lol, once my friend and I were throwing bottle rockets (with our hands) and I threw mine before it went off, but in midair it flipped around and started going across the yard, and eventually hit my friends leg. He had thick jeans on though, so it didn't really affect him, but he overreacted to the whole thing, it was hilarious.
Jul. 02, 2012  8:00 PM
 
Did it have report?
I've always wanted to do a fireworks war...

Oh, if you've ever heard of Saturn Missiles, then you know how crazy they are. One went off track towards my neighbor Saturday, and him and his little daughter ducked for cover.

Saturn Missiles are just a little box that shoots tiny missiles up in the air, and they make noise as they go up. Then, they explode with a crack.

I just found out Andy Griffith died D: I loved his show first don knotts now andy. tis a shame that all the golden celebs are dropping like flies while we are stuck with people with no talent. This kind of bummed my whole day just a bit

Well that's a damn shame, such a strange order of deaths lately.

My area has been having this giant mass power-outage from this storm last Friday evening. The storm was pretty rough, and knocked down lots of trees and destroyed a few buildings' windows. I had absolutely no power until Sunday afternoon, and there are still other people that don't have power. Some may not be able to even get it until this upcoming weekend. Dang.

Let me tell you, it really sucks to have a power-outage for more than a few hours (which is usually what happens around here during storms). It got really hot those days, two. Around the high 90's, I believe? This whole experience makes me realize that humans are becoming more and more dependent on electronics, which I can totally vouch for myself, by the way xD.
