a: A toy firetruck I got when I was really young.

q: Why can't I think of any good questions??

 

because you spent your youth huffing gas with Mr. T

Did you own G.I. Joe?

 

a: No, I didn't.

q: Did you own a lot of Hot Wheels??

 

yep and matchbox

I kept them for my kids

Have you ever played a vinyl record?

 

a: No, but my dad used to have an amazing classic rock collection. My grandparents' record player didn't have a needle, and my dad sold all the records before I could get one. [&o]

q: Do you currentlyhave a record player??

 

yep, and a good deal of vinyl

what's your favorite cereal? when you were a kid?

 

a: When I was a kid, it was Lucky Charms. Now it's organic granola.

q: Why don't I get excited about anything anymore??

 

A: because when you decided that you loved chemistry, it automatically triggered a chemical reaction in your brain, but don't worry, a little egg nog and you'll be back to normal in no time.

btw, i have a whole box of albums....maybe they'll be worth millions one day, ya think?
and btw, my favorite childhood cereals were Crispy Critters and Super Sugar Crisp. anyone remember those? probably not.
anothe btw, my brother had lots of cool matchbox and hotwheels stuff. he had this one thing that lookes like a service station. you put the car in one side and it would shoot out the other. it was really cool. i doubt they make anything like that anymore.

Q: how come there aren't any really cool toys anymore???? i look for things for the neices and nephews and it's just all a bunch of poor quality, yet expensive crap.

 

there are some companies that have started producing the old toys again. Things we had when we were kids. Look it up.

Did anyone have rock-em sock-em robots? I bought one in college and my roomate and I would have battles to see who paid for the beer.

 

A: yep, my brother had them. he also had a stupid nfl game. plastic peices on a vibrating metal feild. it was dumb, but still fun.

Q: why is it ok for girls to play with boy's toys, and not ok for boys to play with girl's toys?


oh, and my sister had that "chatty cathy" that's now being mocked on the geiko commercials. how's that for making your customer base feel old?
