We received so many of those "Most Dangerous Toys Ever" and a few not listed! Here's the ones on the list: LAWN DARTS: Yep, we had um! And a really long front lawn, so there was NO WAY we were gonna just toss um some 10' feet from ring to ring, we put them at either end of the lawn, (trying to remember, never having measured it but it was a BIG sucker...mowing it SUCKED!), maybe 50' or even 100' or more. We HURLED those suckers! After several made holes in the side of the house, a few in the roof and finally the one that land sticking through the hood of my dad's green Chevy Vega....he cursed the day he bought them and threw them in the trash! A HAMMOCK: as they mentioned missing the, "spreader bars," supports meant to keep the hammock open when it was "at ease." My brother and I would take turns twisting each other up in it and leaving the other guy hanging face down! Creepy Crawler Thingmaker from Mattel Been there done that also! We had one. While I definitely remember a burned finger or two I guess my parents figured out that neither of was retarded enough to throw a MOLTEN HOT PLASTIC BUG AT EACH OTHER! Go figure! Not for sale in Trailer Parks or to families who have married a first cousin! Battlestar Galactica Missile Launcher the Viper, the Cylon Raider, the Scarab, and the Stellar Probe. We had them all! Plus a whole series of GIANT ROBOTS with missile launchers, flying fists and other fun projectiles and plenty of other stuff that "launched" stuff! Let's see, what did that list forget? My Daisy BB Gun, (Remember "A Christmas Story), Skateboards with "steel" wheels, (OK so that dates me!), they sucked SO BAD. Hit a freakin ANT on the sidewalk and you'd face-plant in the sidewalk! :x A Bow and Arrow Set, (that was taken away after I fired an arrow through our front door!). Fireworks and Cherry Bombs, (don't blame MY parents, our neighbors bought all those). I'm sure there were more! We could even make something dangerous out things that weren't! Like building a ramp to jump our bicycles off of, or over a bunch of kids that would lie down side by side under the jump, (this was the era of watching Evil Kenneil!)
