Great Scott! That's a mighty big Snapper!

Am I the only one old enough here to remember playing with Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys? This predates Legos I believe.

OMG and with the Lincoln logs you could make a house right? They were much larger than Lego as I recall.

yeah they were cool and made of wood! Whenever I smell vinyl I recall fond memories of the creepy crawler machine and the stuff you squirted inside that cooked into bugs and weird creepy things. Then they came out with edible stuff you squirted in there. Old toys rule!

I played with Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoys, Legos, and had an Erector Set. I think Legos have been around a long time.

true legos could have been, but they didn't make their way into our household (or the neighbor's - who was a spoiled only child and had all the cool stuff) - until maybe the late 60's???

edit: since I have nothing better to do I looked up when Legos first came out - can you believe...1949???

Omg I remember the creepy crawler stuff but I was so young then. I remember it made spiders out of some gel or stuff and bugs and such. Lolo you are taking me back to the late sixties hahah.

Good times, good times! Things were just so much more simple then, you know? Sometimes all this technology we have today is like a double edged sword - good in some respects and bad in others. Back then kids went out and played - we had 3 channels on the TV (black and white - color if you were lucky). UHF antennas were just coming out. Kids rode their Schwinn apple krates (with playing cards affixed to fork slapping away at spokes lol) or what have you, roller skated, ran and played all day from sun up to sun down in the summer. Now, most kids have no idea what this is all about. They sit in front of computers all day. Many of the "friends" they have are kids they amassed on ********. you can txt someone or email them without so much as ever picking up a phone and hearing their voice. And party lines - I remember those too! Looking back, not having the conveniences of today didn't really matter.

Gee I sound old lol.

No it is ok friend and thanks for sharing all that. I think what we need more than a carb fast is a technology fast. 'The Man' telling us how to fit in and be successful. It does not rub my ribs at all. If their is salvation beyond religion it is not about acts of virtue it is just about learning how to simply be. And I have great faith in humanity so great acts will def come from us simply being rather than trying to appease the public eye

I'm the 3rd, Labor Day weekend. I always give everyone time off from work each year.

[SquatTilYouDrop]

Is it cool to discuss Lunatic (a former mod) in a thread which he never participated in just because he was a dick to many?

I vote, what the Hell.

The truth shall set you free, or banned.

I always hated it because it meant two things. School starts next week and I'm getting school clothes for my b-day.

Too true.

Though it rocks now, since we get a long weekend every year.
