I remember those!

I so want a nuclear test lab now. I had a chemistry set and a microscope, but that's not as cool as a nuke lab.

We had lawn darts as kids.

Clackers also made a great weapon when thrown - a cross between poi-balls and nunchucks.

That's the second time in a span of 2 weeks that I've hear/seen the term "poi-balls". Prior to that, I'd never heard of them in my life.

I had about 7 sets of Click Clacks! My favorite were the purple glass ones and my least favorite were the "safe" plasticly solid blue ones. They never shattered on me, but I did hit myself on the head the few times.

My Chemistry set came with asbestos fibers to prove in an experiment that they couldn't be burned. I think I miss Creepy Crawlers the most, they were the coolest, especially with the glow in the dark plastigoop.

It's amazing our generation survived our childhoods.

To me it is amazing that, apparently, a generation that did has apparently decided the next wouldn't.

BTW, I was being sarcastic. I guess that didn't come across.

It did.

I wasn't.

No-sadly we are now a society who thinks dodge ball is too dangerous and we have banned tag.

Anyone for a game of Jarts while sliding on the Slip'n'Slide? Moving targets!
