Barbie torture

[Gato_Solo]

One Word. "Lego". I didn't have toys ...... I MADE TOYS>

I had those, too...but after building "the worlds largest LEGO tower" for the umpteenth time, just to have it knocked over by a playful dog, they got old. The dog, of course, made a fine steed for GI Joe...until he reached around and yanked him off...

Ah, the great artist speaks. I made a 4' long, motorized semi cab-over tractor trailer. My brother made a long nose in competition. I had at one point a railway setup that would have made an HO enthusiast go green. A full lunar landscape. Every Tonka truck any kid on the block had (motorized, with working lights). I even made a working differential ... just to try and figure out the mechanics of it.

I miss my Lego.

My legos were restricted to standard pieces of a limited number, so I usually just ended up making houses. One at a time of course.

Spent more time out in the dirt anyways.

I generally got 4 or 5 big sets for occaisions. and I'd blow my allowance on smaller kits. Let just say I don't have most of it anymore for space reasons.

I just had the hand-me-downs from my brothers, and it all fitted nicely in a not too large box. Allowance was something other kids got.

Oy vey, now I'm like, sad.

In case anyone cares

All mine had purple mohawks and tattoos.

that's useful, especially the comment someone made to that. i've wanted to repaint barbie faces for a while, after i once saw a page for a woman who customized barbies, including repainting the faces. but i couldn't remember how she got the original paint off. now i know, and remember, it was nailpolish remover.

i have a few punk/goth/alternative barbies myself

Don't feel bad. I was the last of 5 kids, on an Air Force salary. I did the same thing you did, and I turned out....






















Oops. Never mind.

Did ya stick 'em in the bed with Barbie?

 

[BeardofPants]

Yeah, but the godfather reference was a bit lost on me.

I suppose I was perhaps referring to a budding vindictive nature.

 

[BeardofPants]

... then. No way mum would let me watch them godfather movies when I was littler. Not after I persisted in practicing taekwondo on him.
