Ho Ho Ho - My Gift to SJ.com

Oh holy crap yes...NFL PENCILS!!!!



I'd get a set of those every Xmas, like clockwork. Awesome.

I also had a Los Angeles Rams basket...even though I lived about as far from Los Angeles as humanly possible. I think the Rams had a good year that year so they were on my mom's brain.

 

My parents didn't get me that crap when I was 7 because they loved me.


I got it when I turned 12.

 

From the same page as Perfection, the game that makes me cry, are the games that should have made me cry...the water games. Who the FUCK came up with this idea? "I have an idea. Let's produce a basketball game where the ball has to be shot UNDER WATER."

Sometimes, you know, I think the '70s sucked.

 

I used to attempt to play backyard football in this shit.

 

I don't remember this at all. Looks like some failed sex toy.

AND I DON'T NEED NUTHIN' BUT MY BIG WHEEL!!!



(That's not me. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing plaid pants)

 

My ethnic grandmother was gravely scared of this toy. My female cousin had one and my grandmother banned her from coming into the house with the toy.

 

holy shit! I was looking for one of the Mattel hand-held football games (still the greatest thing ever invented) when I found this...



I fucking LOVED this game. The blinking cars...the crashes...the downshifting to pass out the slow bastards. Really, it prepped me for driving.

Seriously, if that showed up in my hands right now, I'd a.) kiss the person who brought it to me (except if it was Mikey) and b.) play it for 27 straight hours.

 

This is worth at least three Acne Amy cards.

 

I used to play with something similar to this almost all hours of my days when I was 8 or 9.

 

Wow, I played with those forever at my grandparent's house when I grew up. I need to find the Matel racers.

 

I like how the action figure sections start with the good shit and then eventually scrape the very bottom of the barrel.

 

I used to get my army men stuck in the pipes. Stupid soldiers.
