I remember having 5-6 of those things, they didnt last long

Didn't have to wait so long for the baby teeth to fall out. We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth? Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

I also know about rear wheel braking, pea gravel and road rash. We also played cowboys and Indians own bikes with BB guns. Last edited by cole_k; 01/20/12.

God must have been watching over me and my brother because we never managed to build and ice down a suitable run. I'm sure that sled wouldn't have held up past the first couple turns. 4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan.

But you do remember your 2 or three pairs of jeans and shirts you got a year? Mom bitched about stains enough that she wasn't going to make them.... Can you imagine how much kids would bitch today if you patched their jeans? Hell, they buy em with holes in em now! And it costs more for the holes! My mother used to put new patches on my new jeans before I even wore them. They all had plenty of cuff too. Went great with a white Tshirt, whit socks and Keds or PF flyers. I only talked them into one pair of PF's. I was not impressed, the commercials were obviously exaggerated. Went back to keds after that.

Well, after I outgrew my Big Wheel I moved up to a copy of The Green Machine called The Red Baron. That thing was a riot! Anyone remember those? I honestly don't. What'd it look like? I hope at least it was an American knock off back then... Anyone remember the Honda 'Kick 'n' Go'?

Depending on your age it either scared the hell out of you or was just another lame show... Now you's gettin' deep! We had channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 27, 38, 44, 56 and 68. Saturdays it was Creature Double Feature in Boston, channel 56. 4 hours of pure awesomeness. Attack of the Killer Shrews, Gamera vs. Rodan, Dracula's Revenge (part like 11 or something). Oh snap, how about 'I Was a Teenage Werewolf'. Know who that was? Little Joe from Bonanza and the father on Little House on the Prairie! lol. Roger, you've done it now!

Of course I was not paying attention nor holding on. I ended up 25 feet from where the cart turned, I could have went further but thanks to a walnut tree I did not. That hurt for a little while.

Holy shyt I just remembered what those looked like. Y'know, that was probably like the only kind of toy I wasn't jealous of. Kinda' ghetto, buddy.
