Staying inside never looked more fun...

If this was what I was expected to do when I was told to "go outside and play", no wonder I had such an amazing start as a computer programmer...

It looks like they're wearing plungers on their heads. Yikes. Didn't shaking their heads like that cause brain damage or something? Either way, this toy never took off.

Is this how head-banging originated?

I would love to say something witty here but that has left me speechless.

Looks like one of the many toys they made look kinda fun, so you begged your parents for one, then played with it for 45 seconds and was done with it.

I rather enjoyed counting the activities that would bring screams of outrage from the protective parental types.

1, Kid walking on the pipe rails
2, doing swingy gymnastics move without a mat over concrete walkway.
3, Wild animal within grabbing distance - elephant
4, Wild animal within grabbing distance - chimp
5, Kid hanging from his knees
6, in a tree
7, with a chimp!
8, Kids in a boat apparently unsupervised by adults
9, not wearing life vests.
10, Kids on the roof?

Not bad for a mere minute. Those were the days - "Go outside and play, don't come back before lunch unless there's blood." What was the highest roof you ever jumped from?

I don't know if the gizmo was any fun but filming that commercial might have been.

That toy just drips fail.
