hookitt 1 #51 March 1, 2006 Quote? What were those called? We always just called them "Clackers" They were called Clackers. Who the heck called them Click Clacks? That's so not cool.... My brother and I were really good at not breaking our arms with them. The new ones are LAME! (I say new but the "new" ones were made at least 25 years ago.) Oh yeah.. I had a Big wheel, a spirograph, an Evel Knievel Stunt cycle and more but those were the good ones.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

co_sky_pirate 0 #52 March 1, 2006 How 'bout "Speak n' Spell"? Had one when I was a young 'un. Those things were awesome and *almost* indestructible! You could type in damn near any phrase whether it was actually a word in the Engrish language or not (I liked the cuss words myself) and it would say it back to you in a Stephen Hawking-like robot voice. Oh the prank calls I could make with one of those these days... The "new" version attached...prolly doesn't do the cuss words though. Pssh! There's something about the smell of jet fuel, nylon, and adrenaline that gives me a huge boner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 226 #65 March 1, 2006 QuoteMy favorite toy was the cardboard box that Mom's new refrigerator came in... Ironically - I had a friend that was given 2 -2 litre bottles to play with - he ended up becoming a neuro surgeon. His parents weren't wealthy - but they weren't hurting financially by any means. Just didn't ever buy him ANY toys - EVER. He did however - get to build his own fort in the back yard - and the roof was made from the refer's box.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #66 March 1, 2006 Gnip - Gnop You smacked the hell out of 3 buttons on your side trying to knock the plastic balls onto the other side - while he's smacking the hell out his plastic buttons. The whole thing was in a clear cage and the balls also had to clear the center through holes just a bit bigger than they were. The buttons had a plastic ridge between each of them (presumably so you can't hit more than one button at a time). Those plastic dividers would tear up your knuckles something fierce. a stick and dead body is always good for a day's outing as well ...
