Man-Day Post: The Seven Coolest Toys I Owned As A Kid
It's time for this week's edition of Man- day from Jensguy.Do you ever have those moments when you look back wistfully at the things you owned as a child? Obviously, because I was a boy, most of those things were lovingly used to the point that they were falling apart. But they sure do bring back good memories. So today I am going to salute some of the marvelous material possessions that helped make my childhood.
Best Features- The friction powered MOOO! generator that sounded whenever the door opened. Whoever designed that was a genius before their time as it completely captured the sound of an actual cow with no recording technology. Also the black pig. I would pay handsomely for that black rubber pig as a paperweight for my desk.
Best Features- The swept back chopper-style handlebars and the banana seat. I don't understand why the banana seat ever went out of style. You could haul friends comfortably without putting them on your handlebars. Also, you could lean back far enough to easily "pop a wheelie."
Best Features- The button on the console between the seats that would play one of 5 recorded CB messages from Evel, "That's a 10-4 good buddy, I'm out!" People forget how cool Evel Knievel paired with CB talk was, It made a six-year-old's head almost explode. Also the fact that I believe the van had plastic seatbelts. Evel and seatbelts, heh!
