Looks like a quick way to get your kid shot by trigger happy cops.

Or do a Google search for their bomb bags and see how quick homeland security comes a knockin' on your door.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Neal paying for the site with advertisement money. But.....KIDS ARMY?

the ads that pop up on your screen are driven by cookies from each individuals own computer so you see ads based on your stored browsing history and others see different ads then you do.

its a software program that matches ads tailored to each users viewing habits. if you have no browser history you only get plain generic ads

Who's been on my PC...and what have they been doing? Because for a while there....there were 1000's of Russian Singles ready to meet me in my area.

Anyway, some of this stuff is cool....but no kid wants a gun case for their yellow M-16.

I played army all the time as a kid.

It's crap like THIS that annoys me.

Compact Combat Mission Machine Gun...

@Betonov, I also remember partaking in the game of "swords"

I had these yardsticks (Slightly shorter than a meterstick) that were square instead of the usual flat ones. Getting hit by one hurt a lot more than a usual yardstick.

Let's just say I broke many of those throughout the years.

We did sword fighting too. And kids today still do it too.

Growing up in the 70's I would love to have had toy guns and clothing of that realism and quality to play with. We had to make our own guns and swords with wood because we could not afford commercially produced ones. Although we have some old World War 2 helmets and clothing/belts to dress up in.

I wonder if re-enactment societies and those people who go outside and do live fantasy role playing (cannot think of the term for it) are still partly reliving their childhood but with better gear?

Imagination was always the key component, in reality it may only be an old stick found in the woods but in my hands it was a deadly rapier when playing Zorro, a long-sword when defending Camelot, and a cutlass when boarding other pirate ships.

If I have my browser set to delete the history on exit, then how can this site be choosing relevant ads? I think they're just set on a random rotation.

Ads are a good thing IMHO. Without them we'd have no programming to watch on TV. It's too bad that the mAD men fail to realize that word of mouth is the best advertising... and it's free.

On second thought (there goes another tumbleweed) maybe they do.
Then you realize that the product would be less expensive if it didn't have the big ad budget tacked on.

As a youngster the most popular game in my area was cowboys and indians....nobody wanted to be an indian because their stick was meant to be a tomahawk and the cowboys stick was a much more efficient killer such as a pistol or a rifle.

My all time favourite game was 'doctors and nurses'.

You're not fooling us Jim, You played Camelot a lot in the role of Sir Lunchalot.

@bby,
The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

I give you Jimbuna' die cast aeronautical fixation as an example.

He even built a very nice toy box for his preciouses.
