[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 1819982, member: 16802"] My 24yo daughter found a full set of those lawn darts at a yard sale a few weeks ago. She waltzed in and said "hey, why didn't we have these when we were kids?". I told I thought they were outlawed by then, and reminded her they had lots of other cool stuff. My favorite as a small child was a pedal firetruck, all metal, until mom backed over it with her Ford Maverick and punched her gas tank. Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs for rainy days. BB and pellet guns, followed by archery and real firearms for outside (except for that one time). The old metal Tonka trucks were cool too. I still have a couple of them, and my first tricycle. We got an Atari when I was about 12yo, but I never got in to it much. We still had a old black and white TV and the wiring to hook it up was a nightmare. The Atari sound never worked. Beyond toys, it was building forts and tree houses from scraps; mostly old pallets that granddad brought home from his trash route. Playing war with mud clods, rocks, and sometimes we'd sneak in a BB gun until dad thrashed our behind. Does anyone else remember the Big Wheels, and the commercial where they used a snippet from Merle Haggard's "Movin' On". I could pedal and sing like Merle. [/QUOTE]
