This one still haunts me to this day.
www.feelingretro.com/view_toy.cfm?id=94 Why on Earth would my parents buy a miniature Chucky? Did they hate me?  Edited to add pic. |

By the time I was 6 I had a very formidible arsenal of toy guns. I never went anywhere without a toy gun and I shot everyone and everything that corssed my path. My mother's cousin (who was nurse and also my godmother) told my mom that playing with guns was making me too violent. A couple of days later my mother rounded up all of my toy guns and threw them in the trash, hoping to curb my "violent" tendancies. I think that might be part of the reason for my love of firearms today and my utter hatred for all forms of gun control. That and real guns are much, much cooler than toy guns.
Anyways, I survived my childhood disarmament and have since vowed never to be disarmed again. Does that count? |

Stretch Armstrong…
The damned thing just begged you to murder him. When you finally got it done, some sick fucker had made all the “interior goo” blood red so you truly felt like a murderer.  |

Yeah that counts. I remember as a kid, hating playing at kids houses with moms like yours. And I was usually not invited back anyways because I was a bad influence, so it worked out okay. |

Most evil to others.... my play bow and arrow. About 15 seconds after I got it I figured out that I could take the suction cups off and stick 'em in the pencil sharpener. When done rabbit hunting the suckers went back on so Mom wouldn't know.
Evil to me.... anyone else ever get a pair of those spring shoes? Two metal plates, approximately footprint shaped with 5" springs between them. You strapped them to your feet and hopped around. Real good traction with that sheet steel on concrete too. I'm very surprised that I never broke my ankles. |

eliminator tx 7 i think thats what it was called.
It was a toy gun that was 7 weapons in one. pull a part out and boom sword add a piece and it was a space cannon, remove a part and it was a machine gun. kinda cool at the time by adding pieces or removing them it would trip a switch that changed what it would sound like. damn thing ate batterys like there was no tommrow thu. |

I still can't believe to this day that I got away with my toy guns. The cap guns I had looked and felt like a real firearm. Me and my friends used to point them at cars and people walking in the streets not to mention we brought them to school to play with at recess. Boy have times changed.

Actually the older Strech Armstrongs (Circa 1975) had a thicker almost rubber goo inside. And it was blood red. It's one of the first toys I remember people bitching about because of how it “could hurt your child’s psyche.” You could stretch them out about four or five feet before things started to tear. The newer ones sucked. Link |

I had an old bicycle tire tube that i put my sharp pointed sticks in. Later, I found out that I could drive rusty nails through on one side but it made it harder to carry so i made a belt rentention for it out of rope. I would ride down the dirt roads to a tree row with a small creek running through it and practice killing trees with my "swords" and other assorted weapons. This was all before the real weapons though. I pretty much skipped the pellet gun stage and went straight for the Remington Speedmaster that I still have. Many a frog, rabbit, squirrel died with that bad boy.
Now, looking back, my parents realize why i hoard weapons at my house now. oh well... |

I don't think he ever implied otherwise. Unless he said something about going back in time and taking a digital photo of an event he is talking about FROM HIS CHILDHOOD! As for the color of Stretch's internals, I have no idea. |

My toy was bazookas. Didnt have real toys was poor.
the bazooka /mortar was made like so, thick steel pipe about 3 feet long, and big CO2 catridges not the little ones but they were big ones... like 3 inches wide? 6 inches long? anyways you take the C02 catridge after its been emptied and stuff about 500 Match heads into it (dont remember how many but i remember using all my parents matches they had). then you get a nice long wick.... light the wick and let her blow.... obviously when your young you dont think about things like that :) burned my brothers face pretty good when he stood behind the pipe while it was shooting... dumbass. oh well :) long ago in a land far away. |

 I was around 9 years old when my dad picked this up for me at a sporting goods store. Oh yeah, I used it on a street light once, got in trouble for that. Once a bunch of kids started a rock fight with my friends, and I pulled out the slingshot to even up the score. Sent one kid home crying to his mom. I held my breath about that one for a few days. Never used it on a person again after that. I stuck mostly to soda cans and the occasional bird or squirrel.

A BB Gun.
When I was 14, I made the best, and worst shot of my life. Parents were gone. I had a friend over and we decided to go into the back yard and shoot stuff. We were standing about 20 feet from the back of the house. There happened to be a crowbar sitting on the ground from some work we'd been doing. I asked the friend to throw it way up in the air, out into the yard, and I'd try to shoot it in the air. Unbelieveably, I hit it. We both stood there in shock when we heard the "Ting!!" of the BB hitting the crowbar in the air. While we were gaping in awe, we heard this distinct crackling behind us. When we looked, there was the ginormous 6' x 5' double-pane bay window behind us...with a little hole in it, cracking outward. I started crying for fear of what Dad would do when he got home. It took me months of extra yard/house work to pay off the $350 window replacement (probably would be $1000 today). I didn't play with the BB gun anymore.... |

One of my neighbors shot a hole in my window when I was in the room. It clearly came from the house behind ours, but the police were unable to do anything. I would feel REALLY bad if I shot out someone's window, and would do whatever I could to make it right. That's one of the reasons I don't like BB guns, they richochet too easily. Pellet guns are more accurate, more powerful, and the lead pellets flatten pretty easily rather than ricochet. |

I had a toy AK-47 my dad got me. It was almost actual size, had brown plastic for the wood stock, and made an "Evil" full auto sound.
Also had a Mac-10 with a Can and folding wire stock. It was a friction gun so when you pulled the trigger it sparked, and it came with a suitcase type thing to hide it in. This was before I got my Wrist Rocket though I could play pretty much how I wanted(and with whatever my devious mind came up with) too and as someone said the only rule was "Don't Hurt Your Sister"
