If you are here for the Eden Twaggs contest, scroll down. But you should read this anyway cause all my posts are awesome.ra
Its “flashback Friday” and from my previous posts, you guys sure like all these nostalgic recaps. So today, I’m revealing my favorite toys that today seem so simple and border-line lame compared to the toys today’s kids have. It kind of scares me that kids today point at pay phones and dial-up modems and ask, “What’s that?!”.

sniff, sniff.
Anyhow, here are awesome, seemingly lame toys I loved as a kid:
My Little Pony
If you are a frequent reader of my blog, this isn’t a surprise. I wasn’t really a “girly girl” but this is where I got pretty girly. I fucking loved those ponies. Why did I love them?
- Sparkly plastic horses
- brushable hair,
- glitter
- their butt smelled like vanilla cake!
I welcome their farts.

Look! Its "Kill Bill" pony!

it reeks creativity. really. yes, really.


stand back. this could get ugly.

not my spawn. duh.
- Perfect hybrid of slime and silly putty with whoopie-cushion-style talents.
- Nickelodeon produced it (and I was basically Nickelodeon’s bitch when I was a kid)
- Gak came in lots of other varieties: glow-in-the-dark, scented, multi-packs…

What toys did you love as a kid? Were they as useless as the ones I liked? Am I really the only one that finds pleasure in making fart noises with Gak?
