Wiffle ball. If you could hit that ******* thing when it was windy you deserved a major league contract.

Attachment 16377 Skunk toy from He-Man. It actually stunk

Edit: His name was Stinkor. How original.

Stinkor was AWESOME. Until we put him in our parent's bed. Had to fish his stinky *** out of the trashcan.

No way man! That's what made it tougher

You must have been really rich. I got gravel from the road.

This one is easy for me. We must have gotten half a dozen of these and none lasted more than a week. The frame would buckle as soon as it was hit one time...

We flipped this on its side and used it for a hockey goal.

That remote control car that was WIRED and could only turn one direction.

Yep, gravel from road, and a splintery board made for a safe game of rock ball. I loved the flat rocks, because you could throw some massive curves.

Much manlier than whiffle ball, and just as hard to hit. Never wanted to get hit by the pitch though.

No doubt. And if I remember correctly, they would only turn in one direction, and only turn when in reverse. If it was going forward there was no turning.

I had one of these....looked WAY cool in the Sears catalog, but basically was pretty dumb. I probably played with it more turned off than on. Stationary car on the little screen and a projected road that when the steering wheel was turned, moved.

A Talkboy. It was fun for a week after I got it for Christmas. Then it was just an oversized Walkman.

Do you mean the ones that could turn only one direction, IN REVERSE?

That still has to be the most successful product placement of all time.

I'll agree with that. Heck, it worked on me!
