| Hanger-On Registered: Oct. 01  | when i was a kid, we had a game called "pushing peanuts". you put on these glasses with a big elephant nose on it, and you had to push little plastic peanuts around the board. in retrospect, it was pretty lame, and the best part was listening to my parents playing with it... I don't need no arms around me... And I don't need no drugs to calm me... I have seen the writing on the wall... Don't think I need anything at all... | ||||

Man being a kid was fun, because you didn't know how horrible shit like that was back then. I didn't care that my jeans were made out of steel and had kevlar reinforcements in the knee.

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | the Big Wheel. Hippity Hop. Hungry Hungry Hippos. Anyone remember the Hawaiian Punch Board game?? It had some Play Doh that you molded into pieces and then it had the Punchy Guy and you could smash the Play Doh pieces. That's about all I remember of that. Chutes and Ladders real Water Guns and Cap Guns. I could go on for a week. It ain't easy being greasy in a world full of cleanliness and you know, all that other madness. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | quote: No I can't understand that. My mom settled for taking my old doll clothes and patching together the rips in the knees of my jeans. Except, they weren't whole pieces she used. So, a knee patch could consist of part of Ken's jacket, Barbie's bathing suit and Raggedy Anne's hat. But, you're right, you never knew how bad it was until you got older. I actually thought, as a child, it was normal to eat hot dogs for breakfast and lunch. Dinner was special - a hot dog and macaroni and cheese (store brand of course). ;)  | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | You got hot dogs? Man, you were lucky. My mom would buy a 10 lb. bag of potatoes and a bag of rice. We would have buttered rice for breakfast, and some mutation of potatoes for dinner. The woman amazed me with her ability to make something out of nothing. We would have potato pancakes, potatoes au gratin, twice baked potatoes, etc. Every once in a while she would buy a chicken, and we would have chicken soup, chicken and dumplings, and chicken sandwiches for a week. But hey, in the end, I guess it all paid off. I can survive on $20 worth of groceries for 2 weeks if I have to. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is K1d when I lay my vengeance upon you.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Huh? Did I log-in to the right messageboard? Straw and Kid having a civil discussion??? Add this to the unbelievably warm weather and I definitely think the Apocolypse is coming :) What about Shrinky-dinks, Colorforms, Lite Brite, Chutes n Ladders, Memory, Easy Bake Oven. I used to have a good mix of action figures: My Little Ponies, HeMan, She-Ra, Visionaries, GI Joes, but mainly we used to use our imaginations, think up some crazy scenario and go outside and play. ManHunt was the bestest game!  You can unlock any door, if you only have the key. NEVER FORGET!!! | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | Just remembered one toy I had that I really liked. This one time when I was like 11, some girl in my neighborhood burned down these people's apartment. Well, their kids had Legos, and one of the firefighters threw them out the window. Man, we were fightin' over those free Legos like they were gold. I got a decent set out of them, after I picked out the ones that were so disfigured they wouldn't stick to each other anymore. I can still remember the burnt wood smell of the Legos to this day. Ah, memories....... :) And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is K1d when I lay my vengeance upon you. BrundleFly says, "Kid didn't land on OA.com, OA.com landed on Kid!" | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 01 | quote: Of course, but don't forget the plastic streamers that hung from the handle bars. Reading this thread is making me want to go in my basement and play with all this stuff again. Yes, I still have all the toys, maybe I could get money for them on ebay.  thanks to Tricia I LOVE THE MORON | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jul. 01 | Anyone else have a Sit-N-Spin? I could play on that thing for hours...probably not the brightest thing to do, in retrospect. I also remember telling my mother when I was about 6 that I would believe there really was a Santa Claus if there was a Cabbage Patch Kid under the tree that year (1982, the year they first came out and were sold out everywhere). Xmas morning, there was little Casey Zelda sitting under the tree. Apparently I was a cold, calculating little bitch even back then. :)  Sig Pic Approved By IrishAlkey This message was edited by HydratedPeach on 12-6-01 @ 9:19 PM | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | Jacks. Didn't anyone else play with Jacks? We used to build tons of stuff with legos, houses, boats, etc. Then we would fill them up with the little Fisher Price people. I never was allowed to have the cool bike with the banana seat and the streamers. :( My bike did have the basket with the flowers and the bell though. Never had an Easy Bake Oven (always wanted one) or a Sit-n-Spin. :( Those were the days. We were always outside playing...not like today.

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | "kids need to fuck themselves up once in a while, it builds character." My dad bought me a BB gun when I was 11. One day I shot my asian neigboors with it. It was like in big daddy when the kid shoots the pigeons with the sling-shot. But, unlike that little kid I got a good old fashion ass kicking from my dad. I had a swing set in my back yard. And, its hard to explain but, my shoe lace got caught on a rivit and I fell and cracked my front tooth in half. I was a fucking dangerous kid! -Vinny | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | This has been a pretty entertaining thread. Well most of the toys I had were handed down from my two older siblings but there was plenty of fun to be had with em' anyway. I had a connect four that was shot but loved it! Cootie was cool,colorforms,torn up dolly pops,domino rally,Garbage pail kid's cards,go bots, operation (my favorite),High ho cherry oh,Lincoln logs, Monchichi dolls, my little pony,and my sister had a shit load of beloved barbies that I totally destroyed, cut off thier hair, gave them fucking mohawks, ripped thier clothes, there was always an ass beating in store for me when it came to girls toys. The only ones I had a lot of fun with were the boys toys. I also had plenty of things that I palmed from kids down the street, like matchbox cars, teenage mutant ninja turtle dolls,and anything hotweels! I guess my mom couldnt stand the fact that I tomboy. quote: I agree, Kids nowadays can't even breath, I have plenty of scars, whether it was from fucking around, getting into a total brawl with one of the boys down the street, or just being a fucking retard.

Also, My Brother had (& still has) his Aurora & AFX racing tracks & the cars that ran on the slotted track. I remember setting up track that stretched into two rooms and running 4 cars at once... ahhh, the memories.... | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | What about Toys you got from boxes of cereal. Some of my favorites were: * A Trix rabbit parachute that you blew out of a big pea shooter straw. * A hot air balloon basket that you put on a balloon to slowly let the air out and it floated around the room. * A space ship frisbee that I got from Quisp. * Erasers in the form of the Freakies. | ||||
