Well..."Hot Wheels" were a favorite as were toy guns...but the best was a home made Go-Kart that me and my friends made.

But we forgot the brakes! Almost got ran over by my Mom.

Yep, you guessed it...the folks dismantled that beast, but quick.

Lesson learned....and we moved on to explosives with black powder we found at the farm.

Uh...we survived..but did learn some lessons as well there too.

Good times.

G.I. Joes, Lego. Micro machines (still have the truck that turns into the city filled with the lil cars) hot wheels ect .....

An empty metal Band Aid box, and the real Gilbert Jr. Chemistry set...the one in the tri-fold metal box with real chemicals in little glass bottles for kids. And a glass triangle prism. Now, you get to guess how old I am...

ETA...one time I mixed up a bunch of chemicals in that band aid box, it made a gel, then set it on fire..and it wouldn't go out for anything....scared me, it did.

Skannerz!!!!!!

I got kicked out of 5 grocery stores, my mom hated me every weekend she brought home new groceries, I actually got these things and Tamagotchi's banned at my school!

I freakin loved Skannerz!!!!

I used to play with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figures, Ghost Buster toys, NES and my Scooter.

who could forget the awesome metal and plastic sci-fi action figures "the micronauts" which were my second favorite toy ever! > www.toymania.com...

Forgot to add BB gun wars in the neighborhood. They were quite fun as well.

And yes, we did wear safety glasses/goggles. We weren't totally stupid...just mildly so.

The rest of y'all had some pretty tame childhoods.

Or are ya just ashamed to admit to some of the idiotic things we did as children....just for fun?

I loved pocket power.
