"I still have my ninja hand claws..."

Looks just like a cornhusker's glove.

I liked Carlin, but he was becoming a real moonbat in his too soon declining years.

THE LITTLE SPARKY TOY ELECTRIC CHAIR - They took it off the market because they said it made you forget things. Well, I’ll never forget the look on Jimmy’s face when I threw the switch on him. He would only play with Barbie dolls after that.

Come on guys, it’s was supposed to be funny? This is like the 2nd post on this, 120,000 a year, come on man, guns kill about 50,000 or at least used to, but 120,000 a year from lawn jarts, sometimes the humor is better without putting a sarcasm tag on it, sheeze.

I loved those.

I wonder what my dad did with them...

Do you have a bb gun? Did you run out of bb’s?

I have the solution. STRIKE ANYWHERE MATCHES.

They fit down the barrel. They fly true (shorter).

They explode like a ladyfinger on impact with hard surfaces.

DISCLAIMER:

Do not try this. You will catch things on fire.

That really does not look like a finger...

But, whatever floats your boat.

LOL!

The most dangerous thing I had as a kid was my bike. Used in combination with busy streets, construction sites, irrigation ditches, and makeshift ramps it's no minor miracle I didn't spend more time in the hospital. The only possible explanation for my continued existence is the constant, fervent prayers of my parents during my youth.

Of course we roamed dozens of miles from home on our bikes, something that would be impossible for my kids.

A keg of beer and a set of lawn darts - great fun on a summer afternoon!

BTW - are you Lawndart on AR?

If you're ever in U.A.E. you can tour that facility - if the owner isn't on safari. If you're a good sport you can try a shot with the .577 T-Rex and a few other interesting rounds.

Just a word of advice, don't shoot from the bench.

I, too, rode for miles on my bike, without a helmet of course.

Did the same on my horse. Although now after several falls and a couple of concussions I do wear a riding helmet.

The most dangerous things we kids played with were horses adn ponies. I wish I had a nickel for every fall (er, flying dismount) I went through. No helmet, and sometimes no saddle or bridle either. One old horse we made pull a toboggan with a harness made of miscellaneous straps and baler twine. He was a good sport and did not kick us to bits.

Okay folks, use your heads, 120,000 / 365 days = 328 people a day dying from Lawn Jarts, how can you not see it as the humor it was intended to be? I'm really worried about the 2012 election more than ever now ...

I loved cap guns! My favorite Christmas was when I got a Chatty Cathy doll AND a gun and holster set. I have pictures to prove it!

My love of guns started early and I've passed it on my daughter (her boyfriend thinks he's one of the luckiest guys in the world. For her birthday, we all went out to the range and had us some fun at her suggestion!)

“...how can you not see it as the humor it was intended to be?”

Because that would require me to believe that everyone is at least as smart as I am. I know better than that.

Fact is, there ARE people stupid enough to post such a thing and mean it. Yes, right here on FR.
