those were huge in my hometown given that I grew up in the woods of the north shore. Except we had horses - so I wasn't allowed.

You got your bike stolen and beat up a lot, didn't you?

I certainly got beat up as much as I beat kids up.

I grew up in a really rural area. You'd be surprised how tough hick kids are.

Generally, my feeling on this is that you have to get your ass kicked before you can truly know how to fight.

But thanks for participating. I truly enjoyed your thoughtful discussion Danny. I like you.

My brother and I were the youngest kids in the family and were the only ones who would still get toys for Xmas. Every year for Xmas we'd get one of these and every year by the time Xmas Eve night was over, my older brothers and cousins would have played this thing so much, the motors would burn out.

I remember wanting this thing so badly. The commercials made it seem like the coolest game on Earth.


Now I realize how deeply retarded I was.

not quite.

I actually have a very impressive title.

Now whether or not I get laid off? That's an entirely different discussion.

How's the cubicle of yours anyway?

i still have Crossbows and Catapults
unfortunately the crossbows don't work anymore
(we'd wrap tons of rubberbands around them, so that one well placed shot could take out a castle)
