    My brother used to make his toys really deadly. He loved his He-Mans and used to fart on his action figures and give them to me about three seconds later to play with. He always got messed up with all his toys.

    KayKay, I had this guy that always picked on me. Speaking of farting, he was wrestling with another guy who had him pinned. His face was sticking out, and BOOM I walked over sat and his face and let a deadly one go. I later got my ass kicked, but it was soo worth it.

    kids have changed to.. toys we thought were fun they might not..

    for instance Mattel made a Harry Potter broomstick which had batteries to make a 'magical' feel to the broom... now years ago we would have used it to imitate the movie..

    instead.. they had to pull it off the market because teenage girls were getting off on it... using it as a vibrator..

    The best times being a JW kid always involve farting. Or at least in my experience. Like a Nickelodeon joke gone bad.

    Whats a lawn dart?

    Just one of the most insane ideas for a "toy". They are huge darts with metal spikes that you toss across the yard. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=2396629&dopt=Abstract

    Childhood lawn dart injuries. Summary of 75 patients and patient report. Sotiropoulos SV, Jackson MA, Tremblay GF, Burry VF, Olson LC.

    Department of Infectious Diseases, Children's Mercy Hospital, Kansas City, Mo.
    Lawn dart injuries account for an estimated 675 emergency department visits per year. Seventy-six patients are described herein. The victims ranged from 1 to 18 years of age and were predominantly male (male to female ratio is 3.1:1). The most common sites of injury were head (54%), eye (17%), and face (11%). Hospitalization was required for 54% (41/76) of these patients. Sequelae included unilateral blindness and brain damage. The case fatality rate was 4%. The extent of a head injury was not always clinically apparent at the initial presentation and should be promptly defined by computed tomographic scan. Despite the recent ban on the sale of lawn darts, there remain an estimated 10 to 15 million sets of lawn darts in the homes of Americans. Pediatricians should encourage parents to discard all lawn darts.

    It took awhile, but I finally found a pic of some:

    oh. Where was I when this happened. I always miss all the good stuff.
