Anyone else remember the SNL skit back in the day with the original cast where the toy manufacturer came on the show to defend their products?

I think "Bag o' Glass" was one of their best sellers.

My favorite most dangerous toys I had as a kid:
Crossman 760 BB rifle
Wrist-Rocket (not to be confused with dog-rocket)
Home-made numchucks (ooooh-ouch)
home-made throwing stars

Kids have turned into huge pussies now. Even when I was a kid back in the 80s it wasnt so bad. I remember most of that stuff. Lawn darts were awesome! Thats why all kids do now adays is stay inside, watch TV and play video games, its because all the toys suck!

Remember Clackers...Two walnut sized fiberglass balls with a string connecting them. You would bounce thew balls together with your hand in the middle. They would fly up and down bouncing off each other. They made a loud clacking sound as well as large bruises and chipped bones.

They were all the rage in Jr. High.

They had Jr. High schools back in the Paleozoic era? j/k

Seriously, speaking of lawn darts we used to play a game called "stretch" with large Phillips screwdrivers. You would toss one up and the other person would have to put one leg where it stuck in the lawn. Then you would toss a second one up, and the other leg would have to stretch to it without moving the first leg. I sent my little brother to the emergency room one time because I tossed one up that landed and almost went through his foot.
