Comparing now to way back when.

Haha... it can't be that huge of a gap. You're what, a couple years older than I am? Putting you around 32 or so?
Forgive me if I forgot or something.
You've seen the posts I've been making. You understand.

I'm turning 34 in two months. It isn't a big gap, but it's funny how it becomes huge when you start talking about toys.

Makes sense.
Although I may have been at a slight disadvantage due to my toys being second hand. My toy hay days were probably yesterdays at the time. Fortunately, sticks don't really go out of style, and I could sharpen those sons of bitches like nobody's business.

Actually, I just got reminded of cave men...
I'm done failing for the night. Off I go.

yeah I loved that sticks could be anything you needed it to be. Majority of the time I would find a walking stick to use so I could utilize while walking along these old railroad tracks that went through my town.

We used to play with GI-Joe's too, though they were called Action Force over here. They were not quite as cool as Transformers which was my favourite. Turtles were pretty cool too.

Me and a friend had this forest that we played in where we just lived in our own imagination. There was a dinosaur rock cave that we spent a lot of time in and we also used to run to escape the orcish horde which hung around in the area. And we spent a lot of time just hanging around in trees too. When I discovered a passion for climbing trees, I used to pretend I was a squirrel.

I did have an "xbox" at the time, though. My trusty Commodore 64!

My favorite recollection in this entire thread.

One day, I'm gonna go back to the forests of my home town, climb a tree and find a pine cone or something to gnaw on.

i had so much fun when i was a kid. i had the privilege of growing up in the mountains. we lived at the end of a long dirt road, our house was surrounded by forest, and there wasn't a neighbor in site.

my memories are filled with tree houses, model rockets, buried treasure, snow caves, crashing down the mountain side in a red wagon... real calvin and hobbes stuff.

and the toys! transformers, hotwheels, micro machines, MASK, legos, rc cars...

those were the days

You and I must be about the exact same age. How old are you?

I once read something on an auction site (actually it's a site for free stuff, but that doesn't matter)
"It's sort of an mp3 player, but with cassettes".

*ouch*
I'm going old.
