aomagrat Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 My grandmother gave me these for Christmas when I was nine. I never put them on. I saw what happened to Wiley Coyote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I once had M80s in my stocking on Christmas morning. (obviously put there by one of my big brother's friends) (I got to keep them. When you're the youngest child, Mom and Dad don't even care by then.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Nobody ever stopped to think of how long they were hanging in front of the fireplace. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One jump and off you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 My son-in-law lost his eye... from a friend running with a pointy stick. Really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 They stapled flyers to all the telephone poles, but just got non-stop calls from people with eyes of the wrong description. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Jarts were fun. But then we played Army with BB guns too. We used a vacant field of about 4 acres. This was Vietnam era and we watched TV. We made real Punji Pits and other traps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostinTexas Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Worst toy of 2020, but not surprising. Hasbro tried woke, they pulled it pretty fast, probably because so many retailers yanked them from shelves when the "Features" were pointed out. Troll Doll. There is some hope for our moral compass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
