What the hell? Give me my life from 30 years ago.

Cereal boxes with toys.
Big Wheels with brakes.
Dangerous playground equipment.
Cigarettes in the bar.

All of this stupid nanny-government needs to end now. I will have fun at the “Occupy DNC Convention” in a few months.

Dangerous playground equipment.

I'm not that old, I'm only 27 years old. But back in the '80s, I played on "dangerous" monkey bars and I've never broken any of my bones. *knock on wood*

It's hard to believe on how much things have changed just in a couple of decades.

Lawn darts, chemistry sets with real chemicals, he!!, I had a Rifleman rifle from Mattel that you put stick-on caps on the bullets so there would be a bang when the spring-loaded bullets came out. I had a Vacu-Former, even the Creepy Crawler molds with Plastigoop. I had a OM (One Man Army) bazooka that pushed enough air to blow out an eardrum at 10 paces! And cereal boxes? We used to cut out the Archies and Jackson 5 45’s on the back of them. You’d have to put a quarter on the tonearm because the box was warped! Don’t get me started.
