Happy Friday Guys and Dolls:
It’s Friday, December 16 and today is “STUPID TOY DAY.” I really haven’t purchased that many toys lately, except the ones for our grandkids and they are not really stupid, cars, dolls, Toy Story stuff etc. I’m sure there are lots of stupid toys out there so I say sell them. Let’s go back to my childhood days and maybe yours to see what kind of stupid toys we had. Here’s a few that I remember:
Silly Putty – came in a plastic egg shell, you could press it on the comics and it would pick up the picture. Roll it in ball shape and bounce it around the house, praying you would not break you mom’s favorite vase.
The Slinky – a spring device, put it on the top of the stairs, give it a push and watch it flip end over end to the landing. You could hold it in your hands and flip it back and forth. A simply amazing toy.
Ant Farms – give the little critters some sugar water daily and watch them do their thing, thrilling as Sea Monkeys.
Mr. Potato Head – with this guy we had to use the real stuff.
The Hula Hoop – the perfect hip and waist reducer or who can swing it around your waist the longest.
Dick Tracy 2 Way Wrist Radios – a must for all want-to-be Junior Detectives.
Well enough for stupid toys, have a great weekend and Monday we will talk more toys you’ll see what I mean.

My sister had a cat that would do some quite aggressive begging if we ordered from Zips Peps or Castillos.
The one chink in its armor is it was afraid of slinkies. So a slinky was on hand for such oocasions. LOL:)
Mack in Vietnam these used slinkys'as radio antennas when needed. Slinky the all purpose toy.
