    If it's public propery, why can't the skaters use it?

    Perhaps this was meant as a joke, but just in case not: they are typically allowed to use it, but not to endanger others or to damage it. In many cases this has meant banning skateboard use on the public property because of damage caused by impacts from jumps, or due to complaints from people who were denied access / hurt by reckless skateboarders. It's a common case of the bad apples spoiling something for the more responsible.

    I merely had to ask because, as a former skater myself, I found it frustrating when the best obstacles where so often off-limits.

    And you're right, it is a case of the bad apples. I never understood why there are skaters that insist on evoking the "punk-ass kid" image when that is what causes so many problems for the entire group.

    The writers may have used that line in a 1985 movie but the joke itself long predates it. I remember hearing it in the late 1960s.

    Speaking of which, I think I actually bought the book in question when it originally was published back in the 1960s and it held a proud and snarky place on my bookshelf for decades, until it was probably lost in one move or another.

    Do an image search for "wiederlich". It's the German word for hideous.

    It's actually "widerlich" and means something like disgusting.

    Hideous in German would be "abscheulich" or "hässlich".

    About ten years ago, I stopped at a garage sale on my way to work and I picked up this hideous oil painting for fifty cents. There was no way I'd be allowed to bring such a thing in my home, so I hung it up in my cubicle. Most coworkers said the sight of it made their day that much more dreary.

    If I recall correctly from {only one} Business Law class in High School, the "formal" definition of tresspassing is: 'Using someone else's property in a manner unlike that which they use it' So, sitting on the bench is legal. Skateboarding across it, probably, is not. Of course, that definition always puzzled me with respect to someone who steals my car. As long as they drive it carefully on the road they are NOT TRESSPASSING!!!

    BTW those insults aren't that funny. I'd kinda feel sad for the person using one on me, and try to teach him how to tap into his deep inner hatred to really and I mean REALLY hurt someone's very last feeling.

    Like when the guy couldn't plug in his computer cables, mostly because he can't "see" with his fingertips:

    "It's dark, and I can't find the hole!" "No wonder you're a virgin."
