3. For the kid that is sure to grow up and be an asshole, the kiddy airport xray machine is a must!

5. You can't kill a cat with a Red Ryder BB gun. Goodness knows I tried. Would have been more appropriate to say, "decimate the local bird population." At least that's what the kids in my neighborhood did. And no, none of us ever shot our eye out.

6. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I laughed so hard I was crying at work! Swing Wing? Awesome!!! I think I might have to print this out and keep it. Thanks for the much needed laugh and keep on doing more of these.

7. Jacks? You had to rag on jacks? Aw poor jacks.

8. Hilarious! But I loved beads (still do) and was super careful never to lose any in the carpet. (I then grew up to be the sinister aunt bestowing beads on my nieces). Fortunately, we have hardwood floors so rounding up those little suckers will be much easier if my daughter turns out to be less OCD -- I mean, meticulous -- than I was.

9. My sister had a Skip It. Those things DID hurt. But they were fun when they weren't giving you bruises.
   
   And I still want a pogo stick...

10. This was hilarious. I had a Barbie doll with hair you could style. It had little wires in it to make the hair bendable. Well, I had received the doll as a hand-me-down, so the hair had been dunked and mangled so the Barbie looked like a combination of Bride of Frankenstein and someone with mange.

11. I always thought the Talking Woodie was pretty funny.

12. Some of those toys are ridiculous, it's true. But some people just hate fun.

13. Jacks? Pogo Stick? My beloved Sit and Spin -- why is dizziness bad, exactly? I don't get this list at all.

14. Oh, how I loved my Sit 'n Spin...and any chair that would go round and round and round. Dizziness and nausea! Yes!
    
    This list rocks. And I laughed my pants off. I've gotta go--need to see if my office chair is as fast as my grandma's old spinning barstools.

15. How could you forget those clacker things?
    They were 2 giant marbles on long ropes linked at the end my a small ring. You were supposed to move your hand rapidly up and down causing the marbles to hit each other making a clacking sound.
    If you missed the rhythm in any way, or otherwise uncoordinated the balls would hit your wrist, also making a cracking sound, followed by a trip to the Emergency room.

17. Okay, I see your point on most of these, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Sit'n'Spin, Pogo stick, or bb gun (provided you don't give it to kids who are too young, and you actually take the time to teach some gun safety), and jacks are only bad if you step on them.  Even though I hated the pogo ball as a kid (because I couldn't use it due to disability) it's ingenious for teaching coordination. 
    
    And shrinky dinks might be bad as a toy, but they're still used heavily in jewelry making and arts&crafts projects (I actually know a few people who have successful businesses based on what they can make with shrinky dinks).

18. Elmo isn't the sinister guy you make him out to be. In case you didn't notice, he was phrasing "Kill James" as a question, not a command.
