Oh, what a touching Christmas feature, so how many of these did you have? The number one on the list, Lawn Darts, was a great, great favorite of mine. Shit those were the days. I pity children of the 21st century with nothing but video games—so sad.

p.s. I attribute my brain damage to my parents allowing me to have, use, and eat the results of killer toy number 7. the Creepy Crawlers set. Man, me and my brother used to spend hours making those things. My parents also bought me the the Johnny Reb cannon the Christmas it came out. My brother is right, he and I were blessed with loving parents who spared no expense in seeing that their children had good (I mean gooooood) toys to foster their development.

without the slip and slide, this list is incomplete. Responsible for more carnage than all ten combined. Also cause for 3 broken bones/countless broken teeth in my front yard alone
Clackers. I remember I broke Billy Patterson’s cheekbone and smashed three of his teeth with a set of those things. But then, he used to sit in class and pick bits of fecal matter from his anus, so I suppose he kind of got what he deserved, in a way.
They were as hard as testicles but only about a third of the size.[/quote]
Err, if you testicles are hard, then i would be inclined to think you have implants. But it’s not like a good Catholic girl, would have first hand knowledge.
One toy, with the advent of the PU wheel back in 73, should deserve honorable mention:
Responsible for broken bones, shattered teeth, road rash, lacerations, being hit by cars, the birth of the X-games, the bane of the moral majority. I give you…
And yes, some of us are simply too stupid to quit :homer:
