Poll: Your Favorite Toy...

[lazs1]

"This was your favourite pre-elementary toy???? Ugh...some parents are pretty confident in their family's guardian angel.

I have to admit that it would have been my fav toy too at this age...that or a Porsche..."

I got the Sport King when I was 8 is that elementary school? (been a while)  Was only allowed to shoot it in the summer when we visited my grandparents.   Got a "brick" of ammo for mowing his acre big "front lawn".

I did actually bring that gun to school for show and tell when I was in the fourth or fifth grade.   Luckily it was unable to get loose and run amock down the halls killing kids.   The teacher thought it was a cool gun and wanted to get one for himself.

I wanted a motorcycle but couldn't even have a wussy 650 triumph till I was 13.

I was handed stuff down from my older sisters, so I had to make do with playing with dolls. I used to make some wings out of cardboard and stick them on the dolls and pretend they were planes. I remember my favourite "plane" was this big fat blonde doll. I shaved her blonde hair off and drew a propellor on her big fat bald head and I stuck an undercarriage made from the wheels of a toy pram (another hand down) up the dolls bum.
Yeah...that was my favourite toy!
 
Worst was when I used to get my sisters clothes as hand downs.

That little guy is a Matt Mason!!!

Had him with the space station...was cool

Hotwheels and sizzlers were a must when I was a boy.

Remember those Klackers...to big plastic molded balls on the end of two strings with a ring in the center to hold on to? You would smack these balls together and almost break your arm in the process.

go-carts, Skat Cats, dirt bikes.

Slot cars...the big ones...you had to go to a track and race um.

Had BB Guns, but the real fun were the shotguns

CREEPY CRAWLERS!!!!

Those cheap balsa wood rubber band powered planes for $.25...hours of fun.

Of course, my bike...lived on it...couldn't shoot the breeze with my buds without sittin on it and pullin wheelies.

Wrist Rocket...my ice cream man sold us M-80's and Cherry Bombs..the real ones

Bein a kid was a mighty fine thing...being a grown up is good too, just far too serious.

When I was about 8 yrs old, my mom( a real estate speculator and business woman, a tough person she was) pointing her finger in my face, said the following and I've never forgotten it.

"There's two kinds of tired boy...ditch diggin tired and worryin tired...you'll live alot longer diggin ditches!"

Well, I don't dig ditches for a living, but sometimes I wish I did

Thanks for the thread...this one was a good one!

OK, now for the airplane content! I started building model airplanes when I was 6. Every allowance and spare buck I earned went into my private airforce. Had 'em hanging from the ceiling and covering every flat surface of my room. When I was in my early teens I blew 'em up with firecrackers.

Yep, Matt Mason. We called Klackers "K-nockers". Could hear those things clear on the other side of the mall. Remember the cap grenades?
