Oh, I remember the look on my Dad’s face when my little cousin spun herself around about five times and launched a lawn dart onto the hood of his new Oldsmobile.

OH NO Not the Oldsmobile! What model was it? We had Oldsmobiles as kids (I had one up until 2011!) My grandfather was some kind of Plant Manager or something for Oldsmobile in Lansing, MI.

But I did.

I scrapped several aluminum doors that you used to see at entrance of retail stores.

The glass was still in place.

I can say those emergency windshield smashes work on that glass too.

Several contractor trash bags full.

The contestants for this year’s Irwin Mainway Award are not impressive.

I had Darts and the chemistry set.

Lots of fun.

If you were too stupid to get out of the way of a dart, you deserve the damage done.

And if you were too stupid to NOT drink or pour in your eye the chemistry mixtures, you deserved the damage done.

Darwin award winners never lived past the age of 10.

After I got married, my wife found out I had some old Mercurochrome in our medicine chest. I had no idea it was even controversial, much less banned.

As a kid, I had the Remco voice control astronaut base ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-REMCO-VOICE-CONTROL-ASTRONAUT-BASE-IN-ORIGINAL-BOX/324279383777?hash=item4b808eb6e1:g:-iIAAOSw8vtfTVEs Remco and Marx had the COOLEST toys). I was seven, and wanted to see what the rocket would look like from overhead. It went into my eye, of course.

We also had a hand-me-down toy called Creepy Crawlies, where heat was applied to plastic blocks that expanded into plastic monsters.

I can’t recall swallowing any of GI Joe’s stuff or a hotwheel. But I do recall throwing and getting hit by more than one and eyes were always a target. .... We made tennis ball cannons and shot them at rach other. And the flaming ones were especially exciting to shoot at people.

They forgot one... The Dominion Voting Machine, you put in a name (Donald Trump) and it comes out with Joe Biden. That Toy should be recalled ASAP, along with anyone elected by the machine in 2018 and 2020... 😀

When I was a kid, I only had one toy and it was a dirt clod.

I named it Claude.
