kicked rear end. i wondered if they still made these things and of course they do. smashing cars into each other is a timeless idea. they've amped it up a bit though.

I had the OG one and my brother and I got endless entertainment out of it. The fact that they turned the idea up to 11 is not a shock. For instance, we also had a lot of Nerf guns, most of which were single fire. Nowadays, I see Nerf guns that are bolt action Barrett .50 cal sniper rifles, and belt fed gatling guns. The advancement in Nerf tech has been astounding the last 30+ years. Edit: Case in point. My allowance would’ve been utterly decimated by Nerf back in the day if I was offered this kind of firepower. There’s even a modular rifle that accepts battery powered scopes, foregrips and bipods, for gently caress’s sake.    Gonz has a new favorite as of 23:33 on Jul 1, 2023 |

They need to bring back "smashups" or "crackups" or whatever the gently caress they were. The little cars that had spring loaded parts and if you crashed them in to each other, the pieces would flip around and look like they were all hosed up.

I had to give evidence in court once and was asked to explain what the Bang Brothers website was about, as the defendant claimed it featured people smashing RC cars into each other. Other similar questions made me look like a total perv.

Speaking of stupid garbage direct from a carnival in Dry Hump, OH, I have a cousin who had this hat in the ‘80s. I imagine he would wear this to all sorts of functions, from family reunions, to church, to the DeVry Class of 2000 commencement (major in VCR repair), to a job interview with the county jail (where he was also incarcerated for vehicular manslaughter), to the birth of his daughter, to the funeral of that daughter from a firecracker “accident”, to his own funeral from a firecracker “accident” at his daughter’s funeral…

I remember turning on my Mom's color TV in the summer of '81 and switching to the scrolling menu to see what was on, only to see a weirdo on horn-framed glasses singing about being under the water.

Longer than that but not much. Fresh batteries definitely would get you through a football game. Most of the ones I saw were at the stadium (back when there was no instant replay).

The FD-210 watchman (the very first one) draws an incredible 1,8 watts at 6v (4x AA battery). So that would mean that from the average 1500mAh alkaline battery of those days, you'd get about 4 to 5 hours of viewing time. I didn't check for the rest of the watchman line.
