aomagrat 881 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huaco Kid 10,985 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huaco Kid 10,985 Posted November 24, 2020 Nobody ever stopped to think of how long they were hanging in front of the fireplace. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those would be a lot more fun with small explosive charges, rather than springs, like ejection seats. One jump and off you go. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huaco Kid 10,985 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batesmotel 1,795 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LostinTexas 954 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
