Jarts are back on the market again. We used to line up clay pigeons on the lawn and throw the Jarts at them Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 i totally agree with the original post, being a kid back in the day had to be way better than being a kid now. we had more freedoms it seemed like. we did more things that were fine back then but would get scoffed at now. what happened is something i like to call the P****fication of America... 1 Quote

Man I've been searching there's tons on google about it nothing on you tube it's one of his older rants. I'd post some of it on here that I did find but the mods would have a field day it's George Carlin. Google it you will find all kinds of stuff but its full of F bombs and political S Quote
Super User Root beer Posted September 6, 2013 Super User Posted September 6, 2013 George Carlin was the man. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 6, 2013 Super User Posted September 6, 2013 Know what else I miss thats diffrent from when most of us grew up as opposed to kids now. Fair games used to have the cross bows and the full auto tommy gun BB guns you had to shoot the star out with. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 9, 2013 Super User Posted September 9, 2013 Uhhhhhh speechless wow shoot me now. It's a satire news report - not real. Think Daily Show or Colbert Report. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 9, 2013 Super User Posted September 9, 2013 It's a satire news report - not real. Think Daily Show or Colbert Report. Thank god Speaking of the new nerf guns i was playing with my boys this morning and their nerf guns and they have way to many different style darts. Yes some of the new ones fly like a bat outa hell on steroids but they only work with certain guns and not with others and its a major head ache. I think I spent more time u jamming guns because my 2 year old out whistler darts in the wrong gun and jammed it all up. Took the kids to the lake yesterday not to fish just to go for something to do. They went down in the "beach" area and were fighting the wave monster Noah was throwing rocks at each wave that came in and jack had a stick he smacked the water every time a wave crashed on shore. This went on for about an hour and they kicked and screamed when I told them it was time to go. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted September 9, 2013 Super User Posted September 9, 2013 When my son's were at my camp in vt they had a BB gun to shoot. When I grew up I had twin cap pistols with the twin holsters. My older brothers had those BB gun battles in the woods too. I also had the Dinky Toy trucks and cars plus the smaller matchbox cars and trucks. I never seen the Dinky Toys till the net and eBay. If you go there and look at the dinky toys these are what I grew up with in the mid/late 50's. I just purchased many of these for my 3yo grandson so he can play and grow up with them too. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 9, 2013 Super User Posted September 9, 2013 I still have all my old tonka trucks that my grandpa and father gave me there all metal ones but looking rough threw the NY winters. My boys play with them on occasion. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted September 9, 2013 Super User Posted September 9, 2013 Remember the Evel Kenival stunt cycle? It was a heavy duty plastic, metal and rubber bike. You had to put it on a wind up launcher and it would run like 500mph across the house into the dog and his hair would get tangled in it and mom would have to cut it out of the dog while he just sat there with a stupid look on his face and dad would yell and beat us with the Hot Wheels track and we would repeat this day after day after day.

Super User ww2farmer Posted September 11, 2013 Super User Posted September 11, 2013 I am out of the loop as for what's out there for boys, as I have two daughters. We have a house full of barbies, cabbage patch dolls, and other assorted stuff and it don't seem all that different than the ones my sister had 30 years ago. We do have hungry hungry hippos, and that is exactly as I remember it from my childhood, and I am still undefeated in 37 years of playing it. Nothing says family fun like the tears of a 4 and 8 year old when the old man has just whooped them in a rousing bout of connect four, or operation.......which is a little different BTW, as it now features sponge bob, instead of the fat man with the red light bulb nose.

Poor dog Those things were awesome. They also came with a ramp that if you could actually line it up and hit the ramp it would go flying across the room and crash land. Poor Evel would go flipping over the handle bars Quote
