'Money bars'?

Can't you do anything right, Vaximillian?

It’s still early.

Good morning.

I was always a fan of the junkyard-refrigerator playhouse.

Good morning.

It was till you showed up.

I'm grudge pinging Jane Long. I love a good 'girl beats up boy' fight.

What’s a “money bar”?

[David Chase]

*Monkey Bars.

Don’t know if spell check did that or me.

I don’t know who Photoshops those memes placing those FBI guys from Jan. 6 in different places. It would be funny to put them in a new wimpy playground.

I grew up on the Little Blue river. Was given my first gun when 6. Drove a tractor on the farm. JD 40 to rake hay etc. Spent countless hrs alone on the river, trapping and setting lines for catfish. Milked those dangerous black and white animals since I was 9 or so. Taught to swim by getting tossed in the river.

Worse yet was schooled by those big black hooded women who carried yardsticks.

Back in the 60s my neighborhood had an older couple whose children had long since grown up so they turned their old jungle gym into a lawn sculpture complete with a bed of white driveway rocks underneath.

When the neighbor girl challenged me to hang upside down by one leg I fell straight down onto my head.

Might explain a few things. That was the first time of many getting stitches.

Germans have kids? Who knew? Oh wait…German Muslims have kids. Got it!

I landed square on my face on the frozen asphalt and blacked out and got a concussion.

That explains a lot about your postings here.

Heh-heh!

Make your child play in the street and save the cost of building a dangerous playground.

Frogger game.

The red star on the ground with pointed ends could put an eye out.

I recall reading some studies a few years ago which purported to show that as playgrounds became ‘safer’, that the *kinds* of injuries sustained became more severe in the sense of damage to the head and spine. In a functional sense they were much more dangerous. Even lots with broken glass were better.

The trolls are certainly out. Bunch of nasty replies. Ignore them. They’ve obviously fallen too many times on their heads.

“The Monkey Bars came in....We lost 124 kids in one day!”

Just remember

[usurper]

If I were a kid again, that place would look like heaven.......but then again, I used to climb trees and swim in the lake unsupervised...

I'm with you, when I look at those pics I think, "Man we never had anything that cool to play on."
