Quoted from LTG:Nobody played with M-80's and wrist rockets ?
Actually, we played with those at the same time.
1. Load
2. Stretch
3. Light
4. Wait (this was the fun part)
5. Launch
If you got really good, the M80 would explode at the apex of its flight.
And we used to shoot arrows out of our wrist rockets as well.
Ah, the carefree (careless?) times of youth.
Quoted from xsvtoys:You had a stick? You were lucky. We used to DREAM of having a stick to play with.
Quoted from flynnibus:Speaking of slot cars
A little obsessed with GI Joe, were we?
Quoted from Pinball-is-great:Like many of us, it seems like you are better at collecting pinball machines than selling them, at the moment.
Guilty as charged. But all of my machines are for sale. 
Quoted from Newport-Bill:layed for hours on end with it in my uncle's pool and remembering him always bitching how I was going to throw the pH off.
You should have told him that there were other things that you were doing in the pool to throw off the pH--way more than some toy sub could ever do.
Quoted from Travish:Not exactly a toy but who in my age group didn't have 2x4's and plywood ramps?
My "record" was jumping two Big Wheels and a Christmas tree.
Quoted from j_m_:ok, this is one for all us old folks in the midwest. does anyone remember "shagging"?
I used to utilize that as transportation to/from basketball practice everyday (well, everyday there was snow). I even had special shoes I would use. Of course, with today's "bumpers," it is pretty much obsolete.
