I always liked these best. Especially when placed inside other toys (that usually belonged to my sister.)

BOOM!!!!

We called that a ‘tote goat’ and I rode one a lot when working to clear cedar trees from my grandfather’s farm. ... Lunch was always served at the house, not in the field.

We had our basement phone on the wall next to the dartboard. I did an inadvertent study in the properties of polyethylene-based plastics. Quite intriguing, actually.

Combine mini bike and BB guns for real fun.

I remember when the Osborne kid stole Donny Oleniks mini bike and was taunting him, he wouldnt stop and get off the bike.

Donny dismounted him with a BB gun. All the kids were like “Whoaa...” LoL

Us too... we would get in big trouble if we tried to do it in someone's pool though.

The Big Bang was educational as well. I learned about fuel/air ratios and combustion chambers.

If you starve the cannon of oxygen, you don’t get much of a bang, but in exchange you get a very nice ball of flame out of the barrel.

Very cool at night.

We got into lots of trouble experimenting with calcium carbide as kids

Ever huck a handful of that in a muskrat hole and dump in a bucket of water then spark it?

Holy Carp!
