Douva 0 #31 March 1, 2006 QuoteMy Sit-N-Spin was pretty cool at the time. So were Lawn Darts. then the Safety Nazi's got involved.... My sister and I had a discussion a few years ago about how they should make an adult Sit-N-Spin. I once threw a Lawn Dart in West Texas; the ground was so hard it broke the damned dart. Nobody has mentioned those rubber bouncy balls (all variations of the SuperBall) or Silly Putty, which could double as a bouncy ball or be used to violate newspaper copyrights. What about Playdough? Remember the Playdough Factory? You put in a hunk of Playdough, and the machine shit out all shapes of inedible noodles. Let's be honest--Who else here thought Playdough smelled so good you had to taste it at least once?I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

jlkskycam 0 #32 March 1, 2006 QuoteI only ask, because I was watching "I Love 1973" on VH1, and they were talking about Shrinky Dinks. I LOVED SHRINKY DINKS. But what the fuck did they do? You colored on them, then baked them and they shrank. WTF?! As one of the comedians said, "What could be more fun than playing with a plastic disk?". What toy did you love that you now find stupendously stupid? This really dates me... Used to have (it was my older brother's) a windup version of the "SeaView" from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. You'd wind that sucker up, turn it loose in the pool, and it was pretty stable as it would chug along, underwater or on top. Also had a submarine (it was mine) that you put these little tablets in and the sub would submerge and then surface(!) - all by itself!!! The Seaview as pretty stupid. I think when all wa said and done, the favorite toy, in a whole host of iterrations, types, and reconfigurations was a simple, windup, rubber-band powered, balsa wood airplane. Used to love those things. Took a couple and created a twin boomed "P38" which flew like a motherfucker. Experimented with rocket motors and explosives on those things. Okay - so I'm old...
