I have been asked" Where's Your Helmet" 2 times in my 41 years. They both happened in the last year, once at the skate park, and once while riding my bike on the path on the water front. It kind of pissed me off because they really didn't seem to be too concerned about my well being. It was more like they were saying, "I feel insecure about wearing my helmet, and by you not wearing a helmet, it makes me feel uncool." Rodney Mullens Dad used to make him wear pads and a helmet for Freestyle (Flatland) skating. It was pretty funny seeing him all padded up for that, and he got teased, but people shut up once they saw him skate. Don't tell his dad, but the last time i saw him skating, he wasn't wearing any safety gear. As for diapers. With all the crappy food we are eating these days, it's only a matter of time before we're all wearing them again. K.C.</p> I love the controversy!
