Wheeeee!
Presenting the first email I wrote while roller skating. I’m not kidding. I haven’t taken off my skates since 1 pm today. It’s so much fun. Rolling straight into your inbox. Lace up, mate.
A certain first page ad on the Mumbai Mirror today reminded me of my love of skating, the only conventional sport I might be good at. (If you consider it a sport. I don’t. I think of skating as Iron man on a budget.) I learnt how to improve my skating every summer vacation from grade 1 to the vacation before grade 9. Then it sort of faded away. School and now college never had anything to do with skating. They preferred low tech sports that primates could play too. You need to know how to stand upright to skate, something apes cannot do. Roller skating separates humans from monkeys more than any other sport. And the world chose to ignore it.
Speaking of great things the world is ignoring, how is Bernie Sanders still second to Hillary Clinton? He’s clearly the only American Presidential candidate who isn’t an idiot. Plus, birds love him. His policies are better than Hillary’s but he doesn’t have enough delegates rooting for him. He’s a better dancer too. Heck, even renowned idiot and future president of America, Donald Trump agrees with me about this.
Twitter’s favourite joke might soon be a reality. Make fun of Trump while you can, mate. It’s soon gonna be outlawed. Trump has no rival candidates from his party after the Zodiac killer bowed out of the election. Only a miracle can save America (and the world?) from Trump.
‘Tis, mate, was the Weekly Email Blast, email 59. Happy holidays !!!
