from jo(e)....

favourite toys meme....most from when i was a child....and some still around....in no particular order....

1. mom's old/used tools of the trade - especially the microscope and stethoscope....used to pretend that i was some mad evil genius.... inspecting/analyzing/violating bugs and worms....loads of fun!

2. boggle - mmmhmmm....geek....nerd....poindexter....yup....tell me something i don't already know

3. battleship - light 'em up

4. star wars action figures - particularly my younger brothers' when i got older....buried 'em up to their necks in the yard....lawnmower....payback IS a bitch....HA HA!

5. nintendo 64 - of course, of course....street fighter 2, NHL hockey AND mortal kombat....heaven!!!

6. bow and arrow set(s) - accessories to my green arrow costume....although accuracy could be achieved....maintaining "stick"....having the suction thingys (at the end of the arrows) stick to the intended target was nearly impossible....although glass/windows/windshields seemed to work the best

7. nerf footballs - playing tackle during lunch and recess in the schoolyard....especially when buried in snow....was awesome....diving into the snowbanks for any reason whatsoever was equally awesome!

8. kites - unlike today's versions....getting those suckers airborne took an equal amount of skill and patience

9. hockey stick guns - made with rubber bands, clothespins, hockey tape and a beaten up hockey stick....i was completely convinced that those things could kill!

10. table-top hockey - bring it on suckas....he he


forever young i want to be forever young....
