- Pthalio, on 03/27/2009, -0/+111What about a cardboard box? We got a new fridge when I was a kid..the box that came in was awesome. Fort, boat, car... multipurpose toy
- Duffle, on 03/27/2009, -0/+107The internet changed that.
- artistpaul, on 03/27/2009, -3/+100The NES is awesome, I still fire it up just to play the battle game from Mario Bros. 3 against a buddy, its simple and fun.
- inactive, on 03/26/2009, -18/+110I had Playboys growing up. I'm pretty sure this is one of those things that will withstand the test of time.

- MistaSlicksta, on 03/27/2009, -0/+73I miss my Big Wheel I did a lot of "sweet jumps" with it.
- U83RMENSCH, on 03/27/2009, -0/+70I work at Toys R Us and i can tell you todays youth still plays with toys like this all the time..
- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -2/+69You'll put your eye out with that thing!
- A5204, on 08/13/2009, -2/+62I'm pretty sure it's hard wired into every kid's brain to enjoy the original Mario.
- JDex, on 03/27/2009, -3/+58I think lawn darts need to make a big comeback.
- p8ntslinger676, on 03/27/2009, -0/+54The morons with the paintball gun need to be slapped, you should NEVER shoot at someone when 1. they arent expecting it, and 2. arent wearing a mask. Its dangerous and is only a recipe for disaster and heartache, and any knowledgeable person who has ever owned one should know this. Its ppl like this that give the sport/recreation activity a bad image.
- arrjka, on 03/27/2009, -1/+54Me too, but nowadays people usually refer to it as "masturbation."
- jasdf, on 03/27/2009, -0/+48I'm 21 and I can still amuse myself for 5 minutes with a good stick.
- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -0/+47Kids nowadays have YouPorn and more.
Playboy is stone age. - inactive, on 03/27/2009, -0/+46I had a Knight Rider one, and it had the hand break
I was the king of the powerslide :) - linagee, on 03/27/2009, -0/+44Pedobear is affected by the recession too?
- soupdawg30, on 03/27/2009, -3/+43I don't usually comment on these things but the grammar was terrible. Hour /= Our Steel/=Steal
- slingr, on 03/27/2009, -0/+40I beg to differ with #1
You just just a Big Wheel for Big Boys:
http://i43.tinypic.com/a2vm8.jpg - murph8807, on 03/27/2009, -0/+39Dugg for pretending to let your kid win.
- geoken, on 03/27/2009, -0/+35My son loves his Big Wheels?
I don't force him into it either. We own a 360 and a Wii. He just likes riding around really fast, especially when I pretend that he's out running me. - AaronCo, on 03/27/2009, -1/+36You use the Bessemer process, of course.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessemer_process - thesonofdarwin, on 03/27/2009, -0/+32I was fully expecting the rock tumbler to be on the list. I enjoyed the endless days of the tumbler annoying everyone in the house grinding away at stones. When done the next batch went right in. Anything that requires patience is not a good seller these days.
- FJRRulz, on 03/27/2009, -0/+31How do you steel a diary?
- murkem, on 03/27/2009, -0/+31"Even the simple act of playing has been taken away from children, and put on mommy's schedule in the form of "play dates". Something that should be spontaneous and free is now being rigidly planned. When does a kid ever get to sit in the yard with a stick anymore? You know? Just sit there with a ***** stick. Do today's kids even know what a stick is? You sit in the yard with a ***** stick... and you dig a ***** hole. You know?
And you look at the hole, and you look at the stick... and you have a little fun. But kids don't have sticks anymore. I don't think there are any sticks left; I think they've all be recalled because of lead paint.
Who would have thought that one day, the manufacturing of sticks would be outsourced to China?"
-George Carlin - Samurai77, on 03/27/2009, -0/+30Or how about a .95 cent bag a green army men? Hours of entertainment in the dirt backyard.
- Lewie, on 03/27/2009, -2/+31SMB 3 is possibly the greatest game ever made.
- fusionFactor, on 03/27/2009, -1/+22That's what she said.
- brownsound00, on 03/27/2009, -0/+20Fridge box = millennium falcon. Me = han solo
- tgc1, on 03/27/2009, -0/+19Also a good way to get beaten half to death from the person on the receiving end when they finally heal up and come hunting you down.
- emalen, on 03/27/2009, -1/+19I'm Ron Burgundy?
- inactive, on 03/27/2009, -1/+18***** YEAH, BIG WHEEL
- EchoMike, on 03/27/2009, -1/+16Probably the same way you form babby or shot web.
- krispykreams, on 03/27/2009, -0/+15Ok, the Rubik's Cube is by no means outdated. There are dozens of records being set annually and 4x4/5x5 versions are now produced officially. Also, I imagine having to solve a Rubik's cube on a touch screen is pretty awkward and feels more like a chore than fun. With only 5 items on the list, someone should have really put more thought into this.
- 17999, on 03/27/2009, -0/+15what no Tonka Truck?
- RankMyTyping, on 03/27/2009, -0/+15This article lost me quick seeing as my niece just got a big wheel and she loves it! Big wheels are fun always!.............ALWAYS!
- iletumi, on 03/27/2009, -0/+14Dining room table with blankets around it to close it off. Huge boxes from what ever your parents bought at the time coming out to have tunnels or w/e.
- samson7842, on 03/27/2009, -0/+14Man, I shot all kinds of stuff with my wrist rocket.
'Till the rubber part snapped an whipped me in the eye.
Then I was done with wrist rocket.
I miss those days. - dave122, on 03/27/2009, -0/+14Fridge box a week later when it's lost almost all structure = an awesome thing to get in and roll down a hill. Good times.
- bubba9999, on 03/27/2009, -1/+15I miss my Big Wheel more than I miss my virginity...
- linagee, on 03/27/2009, -2/+16His spelling was correct. His usage of said spelling was not.
- MatthewK, on 03/27/2009, -0/+13Ah, nostalgia.
- M3wThr33, on 03/27/2009, -4/+17How does someone ***** up a list this hard?
The first god damn item is 'updated' with a Wii controller shell and the next item says no one plays the on the console that actually has SMB? - SkippyDoorknob, on 03/27/2009, -0/+13Especially when combined with a magnifying glass.
- madhakish, on 03/27/2009, -0/+13Lawn darts always struck me as being in the same vein as the old Dan Akroyd SNL skit..
"yeah, y'know, it's uh, it's a bag of broken glass. it's fun. kids hold it up to the light, they see a bunch of colors. lookit that. heh. bag of broken glass." - brownsound00, on 03/27/2009, -0/+12Maaan.. green army men were awesome. then there were the tan army men, and even the blue underwater guys too
- neocreo, on 03/27/2009, -0/+12I think in general kids today have no sense of actually making their own fun...
In Sweden we had 2 channels, one showing kids shows (polish animations and the odd Tom & Jerry) for half an hour each day and twice on christmas. In our summer house we had no electricity or running water.
Simply put: We had to invent our own entertainment, be it reading, running about, fishing (and cleaning them) and making up our own games etc. Btw, Bow and arrow kicks wrist rockets ass... - awtripp, on 03/27/2009, -0/+11the full on metal tonka trucks were awesome. I had like 10 of them. ***** was the best.
...then i left them outside too long and they rusted.... -
