10 Worst Toys

The 10 Worst Toys of 2007

Okay, but I do not exaggerate when I say that there's not one of these toys my parents would not have given us in the way back, when men were men and girls wore girdles.   Justin seems to agree.

Above all else, there are two constants by which a child will always abide. Kids will always want whatever poses the most danger to their physical well-being and they'll always pine away for the things they're told they can't have. And at no point during the year is this made more apparent than the holiday shopping season. If you don't believe me, just take a look at my Christmas list spanning the years 1988 through 1993:

- A tipped over refridgerator
- An abandoned well
- The back of a stranger's van
- Vacation to Cambodia's famous Khmer Rouge mass graves
- A dad

I was over at a friend's house yesterday and the kids were getting or got Wii(?) XBox, some other video crap I had never heard of. Is it peer pressure? It seems so mindless. Guess I just got old.

I could take a package of rubber bands when I was a kid, a coat hanger and a small piece of leather and make a deadly accurate sling shot.

I hit Larry Eiden in the head with a BB, the neighborhood bully, who beat my ass on a regular basis, from bushes about 100 feet away. I could shoot a rock into the air so high, it was lost from view.

Just a thought, guess I'll go clean a sweet little Beretta I'm giving a friend for Christmas.
