I had me a Might Moe Cannon until my brother and I ranged the milk bottle my sister was carrying and blew it out of her hand.  Before that Christmas day was over, that cannon was in the trash...  My Pops lost his sense of humor that day...

that would have been about 1962 or 1963.... ;D ;D ;D

Here's another great piece of 50's and 60's nostalgia........... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TtLBPaEKnk&feature=channel

I still have my Bosco Clown coin bank jar and my PF Flyer decoder ring from the 60's......tremendous time for kids back then to actually use their imagination... and no damn computer games.  My Johnny Astro still works too!!

What a great TV commercial from a time of innocence. Those were the days!!!

No politically correct BS back then.

Thanks for the memories Shooter :)

A tad bit before my time........  ;)


As a side note, did anyone recognize the bad guy? 
He was a character on a popular, Emmy-winning TV show in the 60's.

Wasn't it the guy who played Otis on the Andy Griffith Show?

I know, I thought of it after I posted and corrected it.  It was Otis Campbell, the town drunk.....His name was Hal Smith...great character actor.   :)

M58,

No I can't. I couldn't tell you the last time I saw kids playing Cop & Robbers, Army or Cowboys and Indians.

I remember reading the "Lord of the Flies" in school and thinking that would have been the best life ever, hunting pigs, fishing, swimming, no parents or girls.

My English teacher did not share my opinion. I remember a note home to my parents.

I would take a girl or two along now.

Better!

Timothy,

I didn't want to be accused of hoarding.

Besides 12 sounds like a jury!

 12 sounds like the stimulus pack, big ideas with out enough of the necessary to back them up.
I'd say 3 is about right, 1 for fun while the other 2 fight among themselves.  ;D
