Haha Twinkley! Weren't you really into the smurfs when you were a kid? Oh wait you still are! Don't you have that big statue of Papa Smurf hanging out in your closet? :eek:

hahahahaha funny you should bring that up! Don't you share in the joy of the smurfs as well thanks to YNOTBOB?!?!

Papa Smurf is kinda scary - he is still wrapped up in his package....

Well, i'm about to admit something that's pretty fucked up. now that i know better anyway.


I had those green plastic armymen and was playing one day at my aunt's house. she had one of those floor heaters in her hallway that creaked when you walked on 'em and burned like hell if you stepped on it while it was hot! i mealted one of them on the heater and it stunk up the whole house, she was pissed and asked me "why i did that?!?!?!" i started crying and said "I was playing army and they're JEWS" i was a stupid freakin' 4th grader! man o man.....i know i didn't even realize that jews were actually human...until she explained to me, in detail, what really happened way back in WWII. I would like to apoligize now for that...

Can anyone remember the "Green Machine"????

It was like a Big Wheels but it was green and you'd steer from the back end - wicked for doing spin outs!

THE GREEN MACHINE ROCKED!

I had one of these when I was around 8. Was really fun to go down a hill and pick up speed and slam the handles in opposite directions real fast and spin around a bunch.. of course I would wipe out about every other time.

Remember this guy?

He was supposed to be unbreakable but I had the unfortunate luck of getting one that ripped one day when a friend and I had him streched about 10 feet. The shit inside splattered and stuck to the concrete and was there for at least a year. Weird stuff..

Gee-whiz there were some cool toys back in the '70's..
