My father in law has the Lone Ranger and horse. Complete with removable guns. All complete, in mint condition! Really amazing for a toy that old.

I had one of these too... my brother had the blue jeep, and mine was a white chevy or ford.

Cross Boss action, bitches!

Don't ever recall that toy, looks pretty sweet though.

the field goal kicker was my favorite from the late 70s. you punch down on his head and he kicks the ball through the post. remember i lost the plastic ball so i used a domino and cracked the living room window. my mom wooped my ass, maybe with the hot wheel track. oh what memories !

HAHA. I'm glad I'm a threat. ( know what you meant, thanks)

Glad to hear you're going well(as well as can be expected), hope you have a fast recovery.

Glad to see you're doing okay and your up and posting again! Keep fighting and get well!

Yep, had the train with smoke also.

I have heard the same reviews that say it's crap. Never actually tried it though. I've been thinking about it.

What else would you do with them' date=' build shit?

Yeah the ceiling in my basement was full of little Lincoln Log shaped dents.[/quote']

Yeah I guess that was the only thing to do with them

Soooo many car related things

Micro Machines

These cars that came in sections that you could pull apart and make your own cars (I have no idea what they're called)

Hot Wheels

Legos

Erector Set

I know I still have my Micro Machines, but I think the rest ended up as giveaways to other family members with kids (cousins, etc)

I loved playing with legos. Still have them in boxes in the basement.

Anyone have the Sit n Spin? My nephew has one now and it isn't made as durable or as big as they used to be. I'd spin on that thing until I'd puke.

Still have most my Hot Wheels too. We used to use the Lincoln Logs to make catapults and break the lights on the ceilings in grade school. I'm too young for the Evel Knievel motorcycle.

My wife gets nervous when I go there. I have to use a lot of self control. I only have one t-shirt from when I bought tires for my Ninja last year.

Not exactly what I had, but definitely the old steel ones, not these sissy-ass breakable plastic ones they have today. If I was running behind it and ran it into a wall, you could bet my finger was getting sliced. I think the only plastic on mine was the wheels.

Yep. I had the same type. The truck, tractor and backhoe IIRC. They took a hell of a lot of abuse.

That was quick lol

So what toys from your childhood will you never forget? You still have any of them?

I have some older tractors from when I was younger. They are the real die-cast metal punch a hole in the wall playing with them kind. My daughter plays with them now.

My mom came across a slinky and gave it to me the other day. It's METAL and not one of those miniature ones like they have today either. Actually its longer than any one I ever remember having as a kid. Pretty cool.

I'm fine with a drug test to collect any paycheck. It's the company's interest to succeed and they need people they can count on. We had random piss test in the army. If you failed you suffered the consequences. I think this would be an EXCELLENT idea to collect help from the government.

Already submitted brother

you're on top of it!!

yes, here comes the I love when IP gets into a thread

failbooking.com?

lol wow

Sorry for your loss.

Thats a heck of a FB post right there lol. I'd like to see how far that one goes.

Just before the rest of the cheeky comments about the French inevitably roll in.

http://www.cracked.com/article_18409_the-5-most-statistically-full-shit-national-stereotypes.html

(No, I'm not of French heritage either)

I never called them Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys. lol. I've personally known some French people, well I wasn't too impressed so I will leave it at that. But if someone is French, I won't hold it against you or judge you. I really couldn't care less.

That was a interesting link to read though, thanks JRM.

Wow, this amazing to see France really standing up for something they believe in, about time.

Get out ther with your broom and clean up any gravel that might be encountered, and we'll be fine!

lol, I have actually thought about sweeping the end of the driveway.

wat?

Meaning I don't carry a gun as a weapon. Yes it has the capability to end a life but so do many other things. This is one reason why guns have such a bad rap. Oh, he has a gun, he's gonna kill someone!! No I carry it as a tool to protect my life and those that I love. A screwdriver is not considered a deadly weapon until it is used to hurt or kill someone. The same should be true for a firearm.

I just hear people say it all the time. "I dont need a security system, I have a gun". As if the gun is going to protect the house and its contents for you when you are gone.

Or this classic, "I dont need a security system cuz I have a big, mean dawg!" Oh yeah? I have a big ass steak. Now your dawg is helping me carry your shit out.

No I understand where you are coming from. I'm with ya. I'd get a security system but I employ my own personal security guards 24/7.
