I didn't have that, just recongnise it.

Almost everyone I know used to have THIS:

trasher what the fuck is that

I had a Baby Spice but she wore a blue metallic suit.

what is that, Finnish?

No, moniko sinun sedistäsi on tehnyt itsemurhan tänä vuonna?

they stopped selling lawn darts because people were too drunk/stoned/flat out stupid, to move out of the way.

but being too drunk, stoned and/or flat out stupid is the fucking god-damned american dream!

I realized this about all the cool stuff I had as a kid: Half of me thinks it would be cool to have hung on to all that shit. The other half of me has seen the grown men who have hung on to all that shit, and that half doesn't want to be them.

obviously we as grown men have already dispatched our totems of nostalgia. but i don't think it is a crime to glance back towards the shades of our youth?

gmku: i'm guessing his toys peaked in green army men? seriously i have no idea what existed between ww2 and the 80s as far as christmas gifts. maybe just cars? gmku with a full set of mickey mantle matchbox jags? I'm just thinking out loud.

never said it wasn't, just saying that's a primary reason that lawn darts were made illegal. too many injuries.

I am always trying to find things from my youth. Most tends to be video/audio media, but if i could travel back in time and retrieve things of my childhood right before they were originally disposed of/lost, i would.

i didn't care that she had no nose

i had all those too :o

I had the fucking best collection of pokemon cards, ever. EVER. then someone stole them.

Can't believe no one has mentioned these.




I also had a bunch of different wolverine action figures. A few Batmans and Spider mans. In my later childhood it was all about this shit.



Fuck yeah.

i still have them.

I still have mine!

Did you have a fucked up childhood? My exgirlfriend is the same, she basically had to raise her parents and she's kind of obsessed with peter pan and etc. and being a kid cuz she never really was one.

fucked up

My NES and SNES were stolen a little while after we got the SNES.

Should have went with a SEGA!

Thunderbirds!

The Thunderbirds island!

my parents were very responsible so i usually got very durable and educative wooden toys. i still have a great wooden dollhouse, still looks gorgeous and it's really hard to break...

the girl next door had over a hundred barbies but thay kind of annoyed me, i never thought they were pretty enough.

I think that's your basic problem.

I had cleats on my shoes for a few days in 6th grade. They were actually furniture leg staples, big ones. This friend and I had this bright idea they were cool, like hoodlum cool, and we click-clacked around school for a few days before the teacher found out and made us remove them.

This same friend made me collect puff balls (fungus seed pouches) one time this one fall, and then sit in class and raise tiny little "smoke signals" using these things from our desk. We did that for a day or two before we were caught.

rampant materialism is the root of the world's problems today.

back in my day, we had cardboard boxes, sticks and sharp rocks. if we were lucky, there was an occasional dead animal carcass to use them on.

That's two episodes...I'm telling you now you're going to have to put some effort into this if you want this to rival The Wonder Years.

Fucking rich kid.

anyone else used to turn old shoe boxes into tanks and forts for their GI Joes?

My son drive me crazy with that shit. He uses styrofoam packing to make snow it is so messy.

I did that too! My bro and I would get styrofoam packing from anything and make forts,. and crumble it up to make snow. I bet my mom's carpet still has bits o styrofoam from that! ha!

I bet you did it right after she vacumed the poor woman

female neighbors that liked to play "trip to the gynecologist".

the doctor is IN.
