I remember spending about 3 hours putting together the Castle GreySkull for my son on X-Mas Eve. I recall all the toys and joys.....I was the one buying the lovely crap! All of that's landfill now.........:wtf:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

i remember walking to the liquor store
with a .25 cents to play tight ass video games like
paperboy,shinobi,double dragon,cabral,black tiger

i remember playing hide and seek outside with all the kids on the block

going to the school yard and playing baseball and hitting the ball over
the fence and breaking windows on houses [gran slam]

playing tackle football at the high school against other kids from other blocks
after we won or lost, the losers did a beer run and we all got drunk

i remember scamming with this chick at garfield hs after a party one night
and just as things were getting good an earthquake hit

transformers were the shit

following the train tracks for as far as we could walk

riding bikes all over doing crazy stuff

exploring and playing in abandon buildings

I WISH THINGS WERE LIKE THAT AGAIN
KIDS NOW A DAYS ARE BORING WHEN IT COMES TO ADVENTURES
ALL THEY DO IS PLAY GAMES AND WATCH MOVIES AND EAT

I'm with you there Friendowl. When I was a kid the rule was until supper time your ass had to play outside. Adventures were the order of the day. Abandoned buildings were always a plus, because we always thought they were haunted and that just made for a great kiddie adrenaline rush. Remember putting pennies on the railroad tracks so they'd be flattened by a train?

I almost feel sorry for the kids now. When I was a kid all the parents knew all the kids around the neighborhood and looked out for them. Now with all the freaks it's really hard for the kids to go out the way they used to be able to. Our kids have become prisoners of the TV.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
