I FIRED my first friend because she didn’t know how to skip! We made up, but she’s remembered this for 42 years. I FIRED her! What kind of sick control freak was I at the age of 5?
More to the point…
What sort of company where you running at the age of 5 to fire someone from?
Or even understand the concept of it?
Sqube: You’re a college student? Who’d have thought that, eh? 
(I was also a college-dweller until recently, and skipping is usually the least strange thing going on.)
sKipping girl: We just need a few more people who are Australians, dopers, and skippers. Admittedly, that is probably a fairly small subset of humanity, but there must be a couple of others.

Dinaroozie - hehe you’re very right, I think we must be a bit of a minority We’ll just have to go and convert lots of Aussie Dopers and show them the joys of skipping, hehe.
My wife likes skip.
I skip!
I haven’t skipped in a while, because the sidewalks around here have been pretty icy. But as soon as they clear up, I’ll skip again.
That clicking your heels to the side thing is called a bell (dance move). I make bells all the time, too.
I am also big on dancing jigs.
I skip when I’m drunk or have drunk too much Redbull. But thats about it.
Oh, and I’m female and 18.
Wow, I haven’t skipped for a long time, maybe since 1995. Maybe I’ll go outside and skip today!
When I lived in the mountains my neighbor, (a friend that I spent a year in Viet Nam with), and I hiked a lot. If we were in a hurry we would skip when going downhill. Once into a rhythim, it was faster and less tiring than jogging. It was really amazing just how fast we could go. Skipping wore out my boots a lot quicker though.
I skip. Skip skip skippity skip! Also, if I’m walking home, there’s no one around, and I’m listening to music, I dance. In fact, I’m sat at my desk now, there’s no one in the office, I’m listening to music, and dancing away. 
I almost broke my neck trying. It’s a lot more difficult than it looks. For the proper effect of the cartoon depictions you really have to get some air.
I skipped just tonight. My daughter started skipping while walking from the car to the grocery store, then I joined in and my son followed suit.
I also skipped breakfast, lunch, a meeting, 12 emails, and I think my heart skipped a beat too.
I told you to stop thinking about me. It’ll never work out; Homebrew already has a toaster planned for my future. 
Lookit that couple over there… skipping hand-in-hand! In Public! Ridiculous. They’re going on 50! He’s going bald! She’s getting pudgy! Laffin’ like a couple two-year-olds!
Yep, that’s us. <g>
hah! I just skipped to the washroom just because of this thread! Good thing I’m almost alone at work right now
Skipping is harder than I remember…I’m out of breath!
