I haven't seen Jarts yet. Maybe all the people familiar with them are.....no longer capable of typing?

Played jarts all the time at my grandfather's house.

 

It was awesome. Between my grandfather, father, and older brother, none of the 4 of us ever came close to getting hurt.

 

My grandpa also didn't let little kids win. You want to win, you better earn it.

Can anyone name those? (I can)

 

Also my most favorite "something" of the '60's

Babes burning Bra's but I doubt that is allowable here

Cooties! Great one! We had that; now I want to get it for my kids.

We had both, along with the race car set shown and two sets of Trains. One from the 40's the other the 60's.

I liked the smell they gave off after you ran them for a while.

I tried but the "format" wasn't allowable and I was too lazy to look for a picture to post.

 

I had the ones with the spikes, my kids had the round hard rubber ends.

 

on that note

the old school cable box is amazing. i remember running that switch up and down the row, watching every channel speed by, only to have my dad scream at me from the back ground.

We had to mail away $17.95 & 2 UPC labels from action figures to get this. Strangely, my brother & I were the only kids in the neighborhood who took the initiative on that one.

LOL you and me both

Prior to the box we had the rotary antenna

We'd tune into (from Roch) Buffalo, Syracuse and later at night Toronto TV to watch "racy" TV shows.

to have mom or dad scream at me --- What the hell are you watching!!!

When I did this at least I centered the truck and the rollers in the middle of the board...this kid is screwed when he goes to step onto the skateboard. It's way off center. Typical snowflake!!
