    		 Remember these bullcraps?

    I got one for my birthday in '89. They never used to work on water unless you had powaaah.



    You don't really find 'em in thrift stores anymore since the hipsters took over.

    		 Was that released for real or did some clever cockle just make their own?

    Unfortunately, they were never actually actual.

    Robert Zemeckis made a joke about how they were real, but parents' groups prevented their release, and he got his hands on some for BTTF2. Which of course led to a bunch of stupid kids not getting that it was a joke and whining about it. I remember there was a BTTF special hosted by Kirk Cameron (yes, THE Kirk Cameron) with a bunch of fan letters, and one of them asked about it.

    I mean, it didn't have to actually hover, it would have been cool just to have as a prop.

    Maybe they could make those things on the bottom like those "soaps" shoes. Not that I would use it. Skateboarding has been lamed up by the Emos. I saw this hipster in his mid 20s riding a skateboard the other day. It would have looked kinda okay if he wasn't already balding. It just looked tragic.

    Oh. Yeah. I knew that's what you meant.

    Lol, balding hipsters. They're the best around. Nothing's gonna ever keep 'em down.

    		 The Mattel Hoverboard was actually made? That's really interesting.
