Does LimeWire count? My mom didn't want it on our computer so I had to spoof the icon to look like some other app. Downloaded thousands of songs, watched Borat before it was out in theaters and of course porn.

The Big Wheel is the single greatest toy ever invented!

View attachment 127797
My dad always tells a story that he and the neighbor were putting together our big wheels that we got at the same time. The neighbor dad was putting the little spring noise maker on his. My dad asked him why he would put that on there? In the end our big wheels were the quietest on the block.

The classic yellow wiffle bat and ball. Worked great as both a bat to play ball and a weapon against my brother. Fun to play firefly baseball on a warm summer night too.

I was an awful kid to shop for. I never had much of an imagination, so I never really knew what to do with toys.

Really loved balls though.

Need some help here. I feel like I remember a toy called Mr. Bucket and it sang “your balls pop into my mouth” someone tell me I’m remembering that correctly or is that a Mandela effect thing?
