Calculator watches...

I only recently tossed out a Zelda watch that probably still worked given a new battery. Plus a handful of those other little handheld games.

Give another 10 years and we'll be adding video game cartridges (or any physical media) to the list.

Yup, this was the craze back when I was 5th grade... my dad worked for a printing company that makes these things so he would bring home boxes and I give them away or sold them to the kids in my class lol thanks for the reminder that I'm getting old

Born into a pre-AIDS world (and also in the NE corridor) we started young, but kept the number of partners to a dull roar.

In the "dirty" (?) south, where i have dwelled the last 15 or so years (****? really?), folks are more frisky, and partner accumulation is greater it seems, but age of onset remains in the vast 13 - 21 range.

15 (my year of achieving "manhood") was neither overly young nor overly old in my time... (and locale).

Back to toys: Notwithstanding the end of some playthings' eras, there are still many coold toys out there for those of us whocan still enjoy them.

I bought a limited edition "tarman" from ROTLD not that long ago (for about 1/3 of the ebay asking price). It rocks.

Well, centenarians are the fastest growing age group. Somebody's gotta be making it there...

****... I remember pogs. I think they are now superseded by Beyblades or some such similar crap.

Someone on here isn't even 20 yet... they can confirm...?

Hey, fellow old mutts and wild, rampaging, kids: I owned the orginal PONG.

Like the actual, real, console pong. It had something that hooked into a TV (B&W, at that) and came with paddles.

This was BEFORE ATARI. It was ******* AMAZING at the time. My parents bought it, natch, and I was well behaved for a whole week in gratitude. It may have included a built in TANK game... I can't recall. I was maybe 5 or 6. If older, I can't recall... we weren't a monied family. Pong was middle class baller back then (well sort of).

It was like banging two rocks together to make a spark compared to PS4, which is months away from release...

Ah... but do you remember the ill-fated nintendo 3d thing that had Mario Tennis?

Now THAT was a debacle... if the Wii eventulaly tanks, that was the foreshadowing.

I believe that makes you a proper "boomer".

As a (as expected) disgruntled member of Gen X: I say, help educate the new generations of Reagan's absurd beatification.

I can get behind Eisenhower (who cautioned against the military expansions of our "empire" he presciently noted) , but Reagan's recent sainthood mystifies... it's as if Nixon were awarded golden robes by Trudeau...

l will leave off, as political threads are forbidden in the Land of Zed, and I don't wish to sully the thread.. but my request to you outside of his particular forum is sincere.

Dpoint, if the thread gets closed on the basis of this post -- I apologize... if the mods clamp down, I owe you a beer.
