I think my first crush was on an inanimate object.

[progmom]

Did anyone else play with Fisher Price Adventure People when they were kids?

[Not_Giving_Up]

1. I don't remember those

I had tons of stuffed animals. Now I have tons of real ones.

[progmom]

7. my brother was the one with all the stuffed animals

:hi:

[Not_Giving_Up]

12. I did progress to Hot Wheels around 6

I kept pulling off Barbie's head and limbs, then taking them to my mom to be fixed. They figured out I wasn't a Barbie kid. Imagine, years and years of Hot Wheels, and I turned into a NASCAR fan.

[progmom]

18. i never had a Barbie

but I did have a Wonder Woman doll. She kicked ass!

[Not_Giving_Up]

24. I had one of those

Had to watch WW every week...and the Bionic Woman, and The Six Million Dollar Man!

[progmom]

26. I wasn't allowed to watch much TV

But I just had to have that Wonder Woman doll.

[texas1928]

31. I did naughty things with my sister's Barbies and my GI Joes

:blush:

Yes I had girlfriends in preschool.

[progmom]

32. yeah - wonder woman and gi joe got it on in my house

:hi:

[texas1928]

34. For Shame...

Wonder Woman was a virgin princess... You can not have her tainted she will have to go back to the island.

[progmom]

37. in her invisible airplane

:D

[texas1928]

38. Return to the Island in it

Or did you make her a member of the mile high club?

:evilgrin:

[texas1928]

21. My parents just gave me all my Hot Wheels.

Man I had some cool cars.

[Not_Giving_Up]

27. My son inherited mine

Funny...The new ones are plastic. Easy to tell the oldies...metal flies faster than plastic (and hurts more when thrown!).

[texas1928]

30. I did not remember I had so many redline Hot Wheels.

They roll better than the new ones. It is sad how safety experts have ruined some things we played with.

[texas1928]

2. I had the scuba team and airplanes.

and the jeeps. Oh those were fun. The scuba team came with a boat and float plane.

[progmom]

3. I had those.

And the safari set. And the helicopter. And the skydiver.... :hi:

[texas1928]

8. I wanted the safari set but my parents then got me Star Wars

and I never looked back.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

4. Phew!

You scared me there for a minute. ;-)

[progmom]

5. ha ha ha

:hi:

[u4ic]

6. Mine was an animated object:

:shrug:

[Tallison]

13. Yup. Mighty Mouse. Something about the clingy underpants.

[u4ic]

33. Welcome to DU, Tallison!

:hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

9. I was first crushed by an inanimate object

It hurt!

[progmom]

11. go to sleep

[Pale Blue Dot]

16. AARRGGHH!

A herd of zombie sheep!

(I really haven't been drinking, either. Honest.)

[evlbstrd]

10. They hadn't been invented when I was a kid.

I made people from pipe cleaners and popsicle sticks.
And we got our milk delivered in bottles.

[progmom]

14. i made people with pipe cleaners and popsicle sticks too

:hi:

[evlbstrd]

15. Weren't they best toys anyway?

Imagination almost seems lost now.

[progmom]

22. amazingly, my 3 year-old's favorite toys

are his blocks. i'm so amazed at his imagination. :D

[evlbstrd]

29. Excellent!

Keep him away from the vid games as long as you can! Blocks, Legos, any free-form toys are great for kids. You are helping his imagination along.

[Jara sang]

17. Oh man... I had those

i liked the parachute guy. real parachute

[progmom]

19. he made many a trip out my 2nd floor bedroom window

:hi:

[Misunderestimator]

20. Isn't that Richard Simmons?

:shrug:

[progmom]

23. noooooooooooooooooooooo

:rofl:

Not once in my life have I ever had a crush on Richard Simmons. He came to our office once (I think he was promoting a new book) and that man is insane.

[Misunderestimator]

25. He's a bit much isn't he?

:rofl: It wears me out to just think about meeting him.

[progmom]

36. He ran up to one of my coworkers (yes - he ran...all over the building)

She's the type who sleeps in curlers and teases her bangs to high heaven...he ran up to her, poked her bangs with his finger and said: "Look at THIS! And I thought I had the biggest hair in the room!"

She was pissed.

[mike_c]

28. when I was a kid, all we had to play with were rocks and dirt...

...but we were happy to have them. I still remember how amazed we all were when wood was invented....

[khashka]

35. For me it was Big Jim

I swear to God he made me gay. I mean he even had a camper just like Barbie's except it was brown instead of pink. Cute guy, camper, I was in love :)

Khash.

[bettyellen]

39. is he a wrestler?
