Post Christmas Wish List
Here

I'll take #'s 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10 - I can do without 9 if I have to.
It was hard not to ask for #4 b/c that purple and pink pony mane has to taste great.

Who are these people???
Their criteria for a bad toy could be applied to every toy ever made. I simple ball could cause choking, blunt impact injuries and eye damage - all at once even.

Makes "Brandy" so much fun!!! :twisted:

"Brandy" is a game here that involves some kid being made "it" and given a ball to tag whoever they can in the game as hard as they can. Just like chasey but with pain.
W.A.T.C.H Out!!

What about the red rider BB gun? That thing'll shoot yer eye out!

I want that little paintball gun on that list though, I'm packing a Super Soaker CPS 1000 at work right now, ther're 4 dogs here and they bark at everyone that comes to the door, so I need to pack some serious heat to keep them in check. I'd like the paintball gun for my co worker though.

:x

hey, I was a serious player of lawn darts. for real.
I had several bb guns.
I can't imagine what it would be like to be a kid today.
Not that one time is better than the other but they are so different.

Oh, I could have done without the whole AIDS thing once I got around to sex. But I digress.
[I think this comment has confused some people - I was trying to point out how it put a stomp on being a young and horny college kid. People in the 60's and early 70's didn't have to worry about that kind of heavy thing. I am still HIV negative fortunately - what sucks is that many many people have not been so fortunate and many are, er, dead]

It doesn't seem all that different to me. My kids shoot bb guns and the bow and arrow in the back yard, and throw knives. We even have a pellet gun range in the basement for the winter months - just like I had when I was a kid. I do miss Jarts, though Julian. Saw some of the old metal ones at a flea market awhile back, but my wife said no way.

jarts are known to consumer safety folks as the all-time most dangerous toy. eek.

I feel so proud to have spent part of my childhood perfecting my jart tosses into yellow tubular targets. they were really well made - you could adjust the flights and where the weight was centered - but those were the real Jarts, not the bootlegs that I also had a set of.
OH SHIT! moment - almost taking out one of the dogs when she walked into the path of a descending Jart - she moved just in time

I remember painting this lady's house once - a big old 2-story. I found an ancient Jart lodged in one of the rain gutters. Bad shot I guess...
