Roller skate basement, necessity or not?

As we search for the perfect home @#(*$& Scratch that, As we search for a home in our budget that isn't flea infested...one must ask the question "To roller skate, or not to roller skate." True many people use their basement for storage, perhaps a little laundry, maybe that's where they film their porn. I however raise my eyes to the sky and can clearly imagine strapping on a pair of skates and smoothly gliding over polished concrete floors swinging from support pole to support pole while listening to Donna Summer, Olivia Newton-John...you know the favorites. Is this truly a reasonable item to add to the must have list when purchasing real estate. This blogger says absolutely. You people looking for a new roof, solid foundation and enough bedrooms to house grandma are crazy. Where is your joy really going to come from? Rachel...did you ever really worry about broken bones and skinned knees when you were skating around in the basement without a care in the world...I think not. Bethany...do you remember roller blading around the parking garage in Crested Butte. David...do you remember Julie's birthday at the roller rink when you were the only one who could stay upright? People! I ask you again...how can you live without a roller skate basement? And for crying out load if your freaking house is going to cost $400,000 you ought to be getting something good out of it.

A basementless existance is no life at all. The only thing that beats rollerskating is a shuffleboard basement (even if you don't know how to play!)

Agreed reader. Shuffleboard is an odd albeit popular sport. I pose this question...is their an age requirement? and part two...are you a better shuffleboarder while on board a cruise ship?
