With real Lawn Darts and everything. 1 lb. pointy, brass darts thrown high into the sky to land just inches away from your cousin!

Close. I remember playing 'Cowboys and Indians' with the kid next door. I was the Indian, rubber-sucker-tipped arrow and all. I told him I'd shoot at him, he would duck and then shoot me dead with his six-gun. Unfortunately he forgot to duck. Nailed him in the forehead. Went home crying. Me in trouble.

Funny thing is, I still remember his highly improbable name: Harold Shotwell.

Back in my days we had to lug our pc to peoples houses.

Kids these days don't exercise enough.:D

And not just the PC, the wonderful green-screen monitor too, if you could afford it. And the tape player.

And tapes. Lots of very-long-to-load tapes. :nope:

Was anything else so perfectly matched? :hmmm:

Wasn't the "Manual Fast-Winding Stick" created for that purpose?

And then some brainiac decided to put some graphite in the middle, and an eraser on the other end...

But...but...I thought that was to help guide it into the hole.

What's an "eraser"? Isn't that something to chew on when you're not winding? Oh, maybe it's to erase the gunk from your teeth...

ha, I know the answer to Kongo Otto's riddle:
You can use the pencil to write the name of the mp3's, that you burned on that tape, on the white, blank space! :know:

Do I get a cookie?

Sailor Steve 01-09-12 02:37 PM

Nope. That's what pens are for.

Penguin 01-09-12 02:43 PM

Pens? Ha! You crazy young sports used pens for your tapes! :haha:
We used to carve the band names in stone and then stick it onto the tapes! :know:

Pha, at least you had tapes and pencils, I grew up in the Balkans :doh:
