Fav toys/games from your childhood

I remember Lite Brite, Capsela, Tinker Toys, Legos (was huge into them, but never too talented), and Nylint model semis.

[quote pid='1577270' dateline='1498782320'] Hmm.. we made up a game. We think. It's hide and seek in the dark, it was my favorite. [/quote] Outdoors or indoors? We did something similar. We called it "Manhunt," i believe. We dressed in all black, sneak into the school property at night, and played a game of tag outdoors when it was dark. It was perfect because it was dark and secluded at night. I remember DZ Discovery Zone too. [/quote] Yours sounds fun! We played indoors and outdoors mostly indoors. It made me laugh hysterically every time. One time I accidentally ? Pulled down a boys shorts. Too bad it was dark haha! Hmmm I forgot about building things. U had dirt, Thump, and I had snow. I built many wondrous mini towns with snow. Also loved to jump off backwards into the snow from the porch when we could! One time the house. Once. But that was a good 6-10ft drift! JACK and Valkyrie mentioned brothers. My brother and I were our only friends to plays with most of the time. When we were little we'd chant "fee-taah, feet-ahh" and put our feet together. That was my favorite game. We had a love hate relationship growing up. My least favorite game was when he would sneak up on me like a ninja and bite my back like some wild child! Mouth bite bruises and all, good thing he didn't have all his teeth though! One last memory.. Prairie dogs. That was a game, an ongoing one for me and the neighbor girl. We spent countless days on the years playing pretty much Wile Y Coyote style attempts to catch those darn dogs! Slippery, smart, sneaky, and with holes all over the place we just could noT catch those things no matter what we tried! Then, the day I moved away, right before we left.. we scared one into a garden trench. We had finally won!! Didn't get to celebrate or play with it although I think playing with it would have been a bad idea anyways 
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite. Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment. Quote:Some people deserve hell. I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong. ![[Image: tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif]](https://66.media.tumblr.com/5fb74c6d16622fb3dbb358509c9aec03/tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif)

Of course I destroyed it and, yes, it would be worth small fortune today if pristine . . . . The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
We played Capture the Flag, Manhunt, Smear the Queer, and 500 outside.
500 was when one person took a football, yelled a number and threw it into the air or at the ground and all the other kids scrambled to be the one that caught it or fished it out of a bush or something. Whoever got the ball got the points, whatever you yelled out before you threw it. As we got older, it got more physical. We were huge into Legos, Lincoln Logs, K'nex, and Tinker Toys. My weird homeschool friends had an entire room with thousands and thousands of legos that we built a 7 foot long Aircraft Carrier with planes and elevators and a hangar bay and everything. I also loved my SNES, my PlayStation, and then my Playstation 2 when I was in high school.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Meccano. And Airfix models of the Bismark, HMS Victory, et al. All of which would meet their demise in spectacular fashion, depending on my stock of Potassium Permanganate and Manganese Dioxide... So add chemistry to my hobbies.
OT: If today's heath and safety bods were Tardised back to the sixties and saw what chemicals you could buy in a hobby shop, they would have a shit fit.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
