You never had a slinky as a kid?

Or are you still a kid.

Slinkys are like democrats. They're not really good for anything, but they do bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

The metal ones are the best, hands down.

You didn't get the rainbow one did you?

Don't forget to take your slinky to wherever there's an escalator, and let it loose about halfway up the UP escalator. Then get away and watch people's reactions.

I've got an original metal one out on my work bench. Had it for years it still brings a smile to my face when I pick it up.

I also have a big glob of silly putty someplace

Goddamn. Now I hear the song in my head:

"It's Slinky, it's Slinky,

for fun it's a wonderful toy,

It's Slinky, it's Slinky,

It's fun for a girl and a boy"

I last heard that jingle...when? 35 years ago? And still the woman's voice is clear as a bell...

An amazing device, the human brain.
