We used to take the boots out of rollerblades and do this when I was little...damn, I should have patented it. Also, has anyone else seen the tv spot? "Free DVD of pro and semi-pro carpet skaters with every order!" Pro? ***?

Plastic 'skates' sliding around on carpet?? What the heck happened to the basic safety research and extensive testing?? I think most people that have any life experience at all know what happens when you rapidly rub two unlike materials together: one heck of a painful static electric shock.. This can't be an actual product... The RAM in of all of your PC's just LOVE static discharges.

You'd have to be crazy to pay for this. We used to just attach some paper or cardboard to our feet and slide around the school all the time. We'd often get two people to act as the 'boat' and run around dragging us behind them (one per arm) like a water skier. So much fun. Especially trying to 'jump' down a flight of stair and land successfully on the carpet at the bottom!

I like the 2008 Heidi Klum version of that song better.

There not that hard to find. I'm pretty sure they sell them at target. If your willing to do without the fancy Fruit of the Loom brandname, you might even be able to find them in a reasonably priced three pack. Ask Atoz before you make a purchase though. He's our resident expert on tighty whiteys and short shorts.
