I remember going to Sat. matinee, and for the rest of the week the neighbor kids & I would play out the movie. Roy Rogers, Tarzan, and we all had to be Cheetah. And the ice cream man, 5 cent fudgesicles or dreamsicles were my favorite!
We have GOT to be the same age!!! I loved my Thing maker. I would make roaches and stick them to the wall in the kitchen right next to the light switch, Scared my mom to death every time!! Got in trouble allot over that one!!

Played with the water wiggle forever!! In fact, I remember most of the stuff on here. Glad to know I'm not the only one " of my age" still around!!

Remember when he played a bit part in the movie "Cobra" with Sylvester Stallone? He was on the big screen for about two seconds. That was when he decided to quit sportscasting and become a movie start.

I did, too...in the 60's. I remember chewing it like bubble gum, also. I wonder if that stuff was high-inducing?

I probably got it in 60's also. I don't know but model car glue would get you goofy! I can attest to that!

I know and don't ask how I know, since I never put a model car together!

O. K. ! My exposure was innocent , I did put a lot of model cars together in confined areas. This should explain a lot of things!!

Do you remember "lawn darts"? This was a brilliant idea some goofball came up with. Good way to " play safely " tossing big darts in the air!
