You might have threatened to strangle the pilot and force the jet to land in Florida so you could go to Disney World too.

How come we all turned out so good with access to stuff like this?

Jon, what kind of stuff did they sell in the 60's where you live?

If he didn't wake up with a woodie he didn't have anything to play with the rest of the day.

Cowboys and Indians and cops and robbers are banned at schools. We played it every day. I saw where a Kindergarten student was expelled for cutting a piece of toast in the shape of a gun. Another was expelled for pointing his finger at a girl at a bus stop and saying bang. It's just nuts.

Whamo air Blaster ring a bell? Neighbor had those rockem sock em robots. They also had one of those plastic rockets that you filled with water and pumped up................ bet you could have lost an eye if one of those went off in your face........ but that's how we learned back them. Toys were learning tools.

Kids don't play today anyhow............ they have cell phones.
I had one of those crystal radio kits. Not many parts to put together. I still can't figure how they gather enough juice from the air to create sound.
We played with our uncle's Lionel train. You put a drop of oil in the smoke stack and it made smoke........... if they still made em like that they would have a carbon tax on 'em.
