I have one hanging in my garage! I learned to ride in 1986, I’ve had one all of my adult life. It’s fun to go for a ride around the block once in a while.
There’s an annual event called Freewheel Oklahoma that is a 6 day trek across the entire state. One guy did it on a unicycle.
No, you made a curtain out of them! Or a hat, depending on how many pull tabs you had and whether you knew how to crochet.
No, no. You throw them in the sand at the beach for someone else to find.:eek:
Mattel’s Thingmaker, Creepy Crawlers, the Incredible Edibles, and the Strange Change toy were awesome!
You could make your own candy bugs and stuff with a little hotplate? What could go wrong! I loved heating the dinosaurs and then crushing them back into a little Starburst sized square, ready to grow again.
I LOVED my Thingmaker. I had the kind that had the Vac-U-Form plate on it, as well as the heating tray. My parents bought the Flower Fun version because it was for girls.
Ahhhh, for the days when kids’ toys were able to give a first or second degree burn…
Here is the real thing, very cool.
I saw someone riding on one a few months ago along the side of a busy road. Crazy! :rolleyes: Where does one buy one of those things? I’ve never seen them at any bike shops I’ve been in.
My first car (truck) was a 1963 Chevy stepside pickup truck. No seat belts…but that was a good thing. In a accident you would ricochet off the bare steel dashboard and out through the near vertical windshield so as to avoid being doused in gasoline from the tank located in the cab, just behind the bench seat.
Good times.
Um - they wore crotchless knickers and the skirt could go over the loo or they could jutt squat somewhere behind a bush without any one seeing a thing
These are still available - you cook them in the microwave though
Jesus Fuck?! And the Brit’s criticize American TV?!
FUCK!
Now I have to go apologize to the girl I really liked in 11th grade
