John Cougar Mellencamp looks like he is busting for a wee.

Did you play with that?

[Donald]

I really want to buy this. I wanted this so bad when I was a kid, and ended up stepping way over a line in my quest to get it that I got banned from buying anymore Transformers

I just wanted you to see me post another picture on the board.

My story isn't as good as yours. My grandma bought it for me apparently. She was an awful person

the beginning of the song reminded me of the 13th sound track and freaked me out. it was then i learned never to tell people what i feared because that SOB played that song on repeat every night before bed for about a year

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Nowadays, kids have a large variety of toys. But did you ever thought what kind of toys have had our grandparents or parents. I remember me, when I was a kid, with only two or three toys. My favorite was a doll with blonde hair. I had a photo with it and I have shown it to my daughter, she said with a cute voice,, Mommy I also want this beautiful doll,,.I started to a thought where I can find this kind of doll, then I remember that one of my work friends said me about an amazing platform . When I opened it you won't imagine but I found an exactly doll.

This is slowly becoming my favorite thread. I also played with toy. One was green and yellow. I had 3 soldiers made with plastic. They also had plastic guns. I always think it's amazing that different kids played with different toys, but they all brought us joy and pleasure to play with the different toys.
