    Could They Sell This Kids Game in 2012?

    We had this game when I was little

    Faster than a bullet from a gun
    He is faster than everyone
    Quicker than the blinking of an eye
    Like a flash you could miss him going by
    No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
    He's the master of going faster. -George Harrison

    Kev, I have never seen that game. Did you play it very often? I suspect my mother would have put it somewhere we couldn't find it rather quickly.
    Officer Mitchell, I thought you said you didn't want to have to come back here this evening.

    I dont remember how long this game lasted in our house but I can remember playing with the neighborhood kids in our back yard.

    DEFINITELY an outside game for us.

    I can just imagine Toy company lawyers getting all worried about eye injuries and whipped cream up the nose injuries.

    I was playing on Youtube and saw this ad in a 1970 commercials clip.

    I just dont think it would get past the legal dept in 2012

    Oh my.

    I never heard of that before!

    How many young boys will get in trouble for making their sisters cry because they were being chased around by their brother with a handful of doggie doo?

    While being only 29 I remember a few toys I had that wouldn't be sold today or have been modified somehow. I'm sure the stuff my daughter plays with will be boring as Hell but luckily my parents kept most of my old toys so visits to Grandpa's will be awesome.

    I cringe when I see the TP commercial where the theme is... "You've got to go, So enjoy the go."
    "Ride The Barrel & Get Pitted... So Pitted."

    Here's a game that is perfectly suited to the skill set of today's youth:

    "Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate."
