Allietex | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 01:59 am     A hula hoop contest would be great for the hgs. It could be just a reward thing like on suvivor. Can't you just see Marc trying to hoola hoop. Or Jason? I bet Any could do it. |
Whit4you | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:01 am     Amy would be a pro at hola hoops - prolly with a batoon too - gawd how many hours did I spend with a batoon (however they spell that) How many times did I bruise my elbow gawd only knows - She'd prolly be good at tether ball too - but I was THE champ in my entire school - and then some Enjoyed Four square too - that seems more like Lisa's game though... |
Dmarcomb | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:01 am     Great idea Allie! |
Starshadow | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:02 am     LOL Allie. Marc... hula hooping the thought is cracking me up |
Whit4you | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:02 am     LOL Oh they should give them a jump rope - and see what sorta sayings they might make up while doing the little jump rope tricks - I don't remember all our sayings but we sure had alot of those! (you know what I mean where someone would hold each end and two or three of us would start jumping and everyone would start chanting one of those uh sayings?) |
Dmarcomb | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:05 am     OOOooo...Double Dutch jump roping! That would be fun to watch! I think Amy's Mom said something about Amy doing baton twirling competitively. If BB wants to skew a competition's results...there's a great idea! |
Lyn | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:06 am     Now I know why they wanted to get rid of Gerry so badly - he'd be an expert at these games. Hmm I wonder how many Roddy would be familiar with lol |
Whit4you | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:07 am     OMG could you imagine how pissed he other HGs would be if the next POV comp was a baton twirling comp LOL! I'd die laughing Course a pick-up-sticks comp would be fun to - I can't tell you how many hours I spent as a kid playing THAT game and yes of course I was the champ |
Whit4you | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:10 am     FYI regarding the topic of this thread - I was a deprived child - I never had sea-monkeys though I always did want them. I did however have those little uh inch high plastic pink ....um dolls??? YOu know the ones they had in the back of the Archie/Verionica comics? I somehow mnanaged to order 3 or 4 sets of those and um for some strange warped reason I spent tons of time playing with thsoe little plastic pink 'dolls' boy have times changed? I'm betting (gotta keep this on topic) that Amy's little pink dolls had Miss America contests daily. |
Kapow | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:13 am     A night of old ghost stories for the HGs would be fun to watch! Thanks, starshadow for reminding me! A good scary night talking about lost golden arms might do them some good! GREAT thread! |
Whit4you | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:27 am     Dang it now I"m going crazy trying to remember the cruel trick played on a BB HG regarding a Ouji board - keep thinking it was the OZ BB where that was done - I'll assume I"m correct unless someone else remembers it. Here's my tip of the tounge (driving me crazy) vauge recollection... a guy.. or two - played a trick on gal with a ouji board.. not funny joke taken as cruel by other hgs and the audience.. was it the oz bb or am I offbase? |
Kapow | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 02:40 am     Whit, it was Mike B and Will spelling out the name of Krista's dead mother, if I remember correctly..... |
Whit4you | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 03:08 am     Ahh yup! Thanks Kap that was driving me nuts lol. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 03:55 am     Cootie-Catcher.. the folded up thing that you manipulate with your fingers and can have stuff written on the sections. Whit, I thought of Cat's-Cradle too.. like if they had to do a giant sized one. The ouija board night made for some great web viewing! As for Seamonkey.. the name came from an online community where there were lots of lurkers and one of them was actually writing about the active posters on a website and people felt "used".

Ocean_Islands | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 07:09 am     Those klacker things were the sorriest excuse for a toy ... |
Barefootdyke | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 08:09 am     Whit4you, I had those little dolls too!!! I musta had a hundred of them! |
Cathie | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 08:52 am     I had those little pink plastic dolls, too. The ad offered 100 dolls for $1.00 and my mom couldn't resist ordering them for me, lol. What about Fuzzy Wuzzy? It was a drawing of a man with a bald head sealed in plastic with a lot of metal shavings inside and it came with a magnetic wand so you could build hair, eyebrows, mustache, etc. on the bald guy. To relate to BB, he sort of resembled Gerry  |
Suitsmefine | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 09:19 am     Cathie, I found one of those Fuzzy Wuzzy things at the $ store a few months ago my kids love it...and it does resemble Gerry!!!!LOL And what about those little naked kewpie dolls? They were so cute!!! My favorite toy was the sit-and-spin....we would spin til we spun off the thing then lay there til the earth stopped spinning....but as I got older I loved that gameMystery Date, oh the giggling that brought out at a slumber party!!!! |
Minnietlm63 | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 12:00 pm     They should give the HG a TWISTER game. Now that would be funny! Remember the hot cinammon sticks and Squirt gum (can't say what we really called it...LOL). Also that little bag of yellow gum I think they were Gold Nuggets. I love the old candy. I tell you a great place to get old candy is Crackle Barrel restaraunts. I act like a kid when I go in there. BTW, Kerplunk, Chinese Checkers and Parchesee(can't remember how to spell it) were my fave games. I also had a Chrissy doll, the one that had the knob on the back to make her hair longer or shorter. A friend of mine told me once that if you put baby oil in her hair it would make it even longer. Being the stupid kid I was I did it and ruined my doll's hair. |
Suitsmefine | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 12:30 pm     Minnie, OMG...I forgot all about Squirt gum and the gold nugget gum...Iloved those too!!We got the Kerplunk game last Christmas for our kids, we've had so much fun playing that game again....I'm so glad to see the toy companies bringing back alot of the old classics, its neat getting to experience them all over again with our kids....Does anyone remember those spools and rods you could build a ferris wheel with, of course we can't forget Raggedy Ann and Andy( I still have my Ann),and how can we leave out Marvel the Mustang,now that was a moving horse!!! OMG....remember those rubber band ball kits ????? oh, oh, and the pot holders we weaved for christmas presents with those polyester loops!!!!!I WANT TO BE A KID AGAIN!!!!!WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!Oh, oh ,and making our own stilts!!! when I get to thinking about it there were so many neat toys....OH MY < HOW DID WE GIRLS FORGET THAT BIG OL' BARBIE HEAD that you could give hair-dos and put makeup on......Good Lord, I got to stop now, I'm starting to babble.....One more, What happened to those banana seats we had on our bicycles? The ones the have now seem to disappear up my hiney!!!LOL |
Draheid | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 12:30 pm     Remember the little wax soda bottles with fruit flavored juice inside? Remember when McDonald's toys were plastic parts you had to snap out of the form and snap together to make the toy? Remember when Cracker Jack's had real toys in them? Remember dumping the box of cereal just to get to the toy inside? *sigh* |
Earthmother | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 12:35 pm     I remember Seamonkey, isn't she a poster on this site??? lol hi, I see you up there Seamonkey!! |
Whit4you | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 12:42 pm     I'm suprised Amy didn't bring home some mexican jumping beans from Mexico! I remember those from when I was a kid but still honestly don't remember how they worked or what they atually were (worms?) Speaking of worms lol - remember the slinky? was one of my fav toys for a long time. |
Earthmother | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 12:50 pm     Whit, I taught summer school this year..3rd grade and I got a great deal on slinkys. I played with them more than the kids did..lol |
Draheid | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 12:54 pm     I think BB should build an obstacle course for slinky's and have a competition using them ... I wonder if any of them have ever even seen one let alone know how to work them! |
