I love this gif so much. Old dude throwing loopy barroom hooks and just lighting up the younger dude. You can tell the old guy has probably been boxing his entire life but just decided to throw hooks because the kid was outclassed. Seeing old dude just slip that first punch always makes me smile.

I'm imagining a hamster powered record player. Only plays music while the hamster is running and the hamster controls the speed.

The worst Christmas present ever is when you get an RC car but it’s attached by a wire to a controller that has two buttons, forward and backwards while turning.

hello there, fellow old


My dad had a fully controllable wireless RC in the 50s then my folks got me one of those loving two button wire things in the 80s and.. well, it didn't get a lot of use


The next year I got a real one, though

Yes but then a few years later the best Christmas present ever was the goddamn Ricochet car that you would completely destroy off every ramp you could possibly find outside and somehow it never broke.

Between that, crash test dummy toys, and the hot wheels criss cross crash track, there really weren't enough toys that were supposed to get clobbered.

This was the best RC ever. I found one at a yard sale when I was like 12.

The only things that sucked is it had lovely 80s NiCads that would always die in the middle of your pool and if you rip the skirt you're screwed.

There is this, and then the RC car your grandparents bought you and it takes 10 AA batteries to run (which it mercilessly guzzles down) and another 2 or like a 9V or something for the controller. Your parents are poor so buying crates of AA batteries to feed it are out of the question. You sit in your room pretending to drive it around thinking how cool it would be if it had any juice :(

Did it have a reservoir or did it pump from whatever liquid it was floating in?

I think it was this and it pumped whatever it was floating on (which in my case was the contents of the Central Park Sailboat Pond).

I had this giant black cock monster truck thing that was like a toyota 4x4 chassis. The wheels were gigantic and it had a huge suspension. It lasted about 20 minutes before it died. I also flipped it all the time so these fake spotlights on the roll bar always broke.

It was definitely bamed something very 90s like ‘Annihilator’ or whatever.

Spending Christmas money on a set of rechargeable batteries in the early 90s seemed like such a good investment to young me. But they needed all night to charge, got frighteningly hot while doing so, and lasted a third as long as regular batteries.

Don't forget that if you left them in the charger a bit too long they'd be ruined and possibly burn your house down.

30 years ago I had one of these when living in Singapore. I still think about it from time to time, and just how awesome I thought it was, even though it was really quite crap.

Mine was white, and I'd often sit by the pool in the condo complex we lived in, drinking cheap Sarsi ( root beer/sarsaparilla ) and launch it full tilt down the tiles into the pool, much to the annoyance of the life guard, but delight of the wait staff and centre admin staff.
