| Veteran 285 Michigan | Subject: RE: Favorite Childhood Toys... My two favorite games of all time were my mini hockey game set and my air craft carrier. The hockey game was that old origional METAL game, with the players with NO HELMETS. They all had a thick wavy hair, and played on an 'origional six team' My teams were the Rangers and the Canadiens. My brother and I always lost the puck, Dad had to solder the handles when we broke them. Sold it in a garage sale for .50$ (stupid). Then there was the aircraft carrier. It was about four feet long, had foam airplanes. Bro and I would go to the top of our staircase and launch them down. The ship actually had a lever that you could pull to send the planes flying. Dad was on an aircraft carrier in teh Viet Nam war, so he thought it would be fun for us. Boy, was he right. I have no idea what happened to it. |

That describes my first "real" bike, the one where I learned to ride without training wheels. And the playing cards in the spokes. Ahhh, the 70's... *sniff* |

| Subject: RE: Favorite Childhood Toys... Dirt and water. Seriously, I'd spend days making mud villages, mud pies, mud. Easily entertained, I guess. I also loved my Sasha dolls. But they never went in the mud.

Champion 5183 Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Favorite Childhood Toys... courtney_leone - 2005-10-06 7:46 AM Does anyone remember Garbage Pail Kids? They were like baseball cards but instead it was pictures of dirty, snotty kids, the antithesis of Cabbage Patch Dolls. They were disguisting, but for some reason I really liked them. Go figure. uh yeah. Still buy em sometimes, that gum just tastes so nasty but brings back all kinds of great memories. |

Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: Favorite Childhood Toys... OK, I confess to playing with Barbie dolls, too, but the male counterpart was always a GI Joe, not a Ken doll. I thought Ken was too pretty and bland. Barbie & Joe couldn't keep their hands off each other! Silly putty. And that clear gel stuff you would put on the end of this tiny straw and blow bubbles then pinch the ends together. My favorite play activity was running around in the POURING rain. Our air base was cut out of the middle of a rain forest (holler monkeys in the jungle across the street from our house) and the rain would come down in torrents. We'd run out in our swim suits and flipflops and tear around for about an hour then come tumbling into the house and take hot showers. We had a concrete gutter than ran 'round the house and it would always get clogged with vegetation, perfect for frog procreation. We'd watch white foam transform into tadpoles which would transform into tiny frogs. Man... what great memories. I've been having dreams of Panama this week, so the memories are really with me.

| Veteran 282 Dallas, TX | Subject: RE: Favorite Childhood Toys... I was such a sports dork that all my parents had to do is roll out a ball and my brother and I would be entertained for hours. But I do have fond memories of the big wheel, right before riding it into the back of one of the 1970's tanks they called automobiles and getting 9 stitches. Maybe that explains my cycling performance now??? I was forever scarred in a big wheel accident. |

| Giver 18427 | Subject: RE: Favorite Childhood Toys... OK...homemeade skateboard. This reminds me of my "Redneck Skis" story. When I was 5, living in Metaire, LA (suburb of NOLA), i was playing in a vacant lot next to our apartment. Barefoot, of course, cause it was summer. So I was running around with my brother when I stepped on a nail in a board. Ouch...right through my foot and out the top. Stopped me dead in my tracks. I was sort of hopping around on my good foot in pain and shock, with my other foot impaled on this length of two-by-four. Guess I didn't see the other board with the other nail sticking out of it, because wham! Foot number two impaled on board number two. So now I'm sitting on the ground, crying hysterically with my feet attached to the boards. My little brother runs and gets my dad, who eventually comes and asks me if I think I'm going waterskiing... mjr66 - 2005-10-06 11:42 AMLegos!

My little brother runs and gets my dad, who eventually comes and asks me if I think I'm going waterskiing...*** I broke my nose playing baseball on the lot with the neighborhood kids. A fly ball missed my glove and smack! Instant blood gush. Some of 'em walked me back home and to my mom. When I finally removed my hand from my nose, she burst out laughing because it looked so damn funny- my nose had completely moved to under my left eye. She still says she couldn't help herself and kicks in her butt for not taking pics back then. Yeah, surgery and all. |

| Champion 7704 Williamston, Michigan | Subject: RE: Favorite Childhood Toys... I think my favorite thing was the giant tree in our back yard...great for climbing. Of course I fell out and bashed my head on the rock wall behind it umpteen times (explains a lot I know). The beach in the summer. My building blocks..which my mom saved for me. Books. I was a gym rat at an early age (gymnastics) I'd spend all day saturdays at the gym. |

| Pro 4189 Pittsburgh, my heart is in Glasgow | Subject: RE: Favorite Childhood Toys... My stuffed lamb. My mom got this stuffed lamb by saving DelMonte food labels. She was in my crib when I came home from the hospital. She's been outside the US, to a bunch of states, and into the hospital for my diabetes diagnosis. I've slept with her every single night since I was born...and I still do. |
