Oh man, mad balls!

I remember these pogo balls being a total disappointment. I could jump higher without it!

Oh man - I had that red boat in the lower left corner. It's my little nephew's favorite when he visits grandma and grandpa.

Stompers!!!! I can't tell you how many AA batteries I went through with these. McDonalds had them as happy meal toys but they weren't battery powered.

Comedian Gallagher plans to retire after 32 years of live performances following heart attack.

MARION, Ohio — The comedian Gallagher says he’s had his fill of performing live onstage and is retiring after 32 years.

The Los Angeles-based comedian, whose full name is Leo Anthony Gallagher, told an Ohio radio station on Thursday that his retirement plans include posting his writings online and possibly appearing at private parties.

Gallagher is known for smashing watermelons with a sledgehammer. He had a heart attack March 14 before a performance at a suburban Dallas bar. He came out of a medically induced coma this week and was released from a hospital Wednesday.

He told Scott Spears of WDCM in Marion that it sometimes didn’t matter how clever his jokes were if the audience couldn’t hold their liquor. He said the job is like “baby-sitting people who can’t handle alcohol.”

Is this the original or the twin brother he sold his act to?

Last I heard, his act was getting speckled with racist and homophobic overtones, catering to the hotdammer crowd. I sort of lost interest after that. I did like the sledgeomatic though...

I was a lame kid. By the time I figured out what pogs were, how to get them and what you did with them, the fad passed.

Before "bullying", bicycle helmets and the general pussifacation of today's youth, there were these gems.

In 1980 my brother threw one into my head resulting in 22 staples and several stitches . I was 3 years old standing in the ring. He told me if i didn't get out he would throw it anyway, sure enough he did. I don't remember this of course, but he ran over to me pulled it from my skull and it wasn't until the blood gushed down my face the i started to scream and cry. Funny part is, my parents were at the neighbors house and came running over only to see my older brother standing in front of me, bloody Jart in hand, insisting that i fell and scraped my knee. Good times!

Of course the one I had didn't have that fancy non-kinking tube. They were also just soft enough to not get in trouble for shooting at each other.
