I’m not the type of player that’s going to be Johnny Hustle and run down the line and slide to first base. That’s just not my personality. That’s not my cup of tea. That’s not who I am.
In my opinion, the P-90 is the best pickup for slide – it has the right overtones.
It’s a very interesting thing because I can start mixing a song and leave the room and come back and maybe just slide one lever to a certain point, and it just – it’s a certain feeling that it gives you when you know it’s right.
No child wants to fall off a jungle gym or slide. Accidents are an unfortunate fact of life, but to lower every last slide and jungle gym to a height that would only interest a toddler is doing our children a grave disservice.
People don’t do the Macarena together. Or if they do, they do it to get closer, to get together. It’s the same thing with the Electric Slide.

My Nike Free sneakers add a splash of color and slide on fast, perfect for when I’m rushing to catch the school bus. And my favorite cargos are skinny but stretchy, so I can go up or down a few pounds and they still fit!

Tipping points are so dangerous because if you pass them, the climate is out of humanity’s control: if an ice sheet disintegrates and starts to slide into the ocean there’s nothing we can do about that.
Neurologists say that our brains are programmed much more for stories than for abstract ideas. Tales with a little drama are remembered far longer than any slide crammed with analytics.

You don’t know a ladder has splinters until you slide down it.
