Everybody has something that they wanted for
Christmas when they were a kid
and never got..
Well.. unless you were a spoiled little bastard and got everything you wanted
Here's my toy that never was...
The infamous Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine
Circa 1983
I wanted it bad. But did I get it? - No
"You drop an ice cube in and get a snow cone out
yum yum fun is what its all about."
But I guess I'll never know if the
"yum yum fun" is really what it was all about...
What did YOU want for Christmas

Go to eBay and search for item #200049862242 and you can bid on one right now!
It's never too late to be a kid.
I never got one of those either. But I think it was more like 1980 for me.
I know there was lots of other stuff too.
Oh, I so got one of these and loved it! That would be a great gift to have again. Have you seen the new Easy Bake Ovens? Now they have a stovetop where you can melt icing/toppings.
OH, I remember this one.
Don't worry Jen, my family didn't have money when I was a kid and I NEVER got everything that I wanted. Not that I wanted alot but my mom tried the best she could.
Maybe we should take up a collection and buy you those toys you always wanted but never got?
For me it was those darn Cabbage Patch kids - all the cool (read - RICH) kids got one. I got a knock-off that my aunt made...not nearly as cool then - but now - it's very cool to have something that must have taken her hours to make.
Well, there was that .357 mag like Dirty Harry that I always wanted, but I guess I had cruel parents.
A sno-cone machine?
Did you ever try to do one of those things? My kids wanted one and I picked one up at the store.
You drop in a few ice cubes, bust a serious hump turning a small crank, and after about 1/2 hour; you get 3 tablespoons of ice.
I have three kids and there is no way I was going to put an evening's worth of wrestling a plastic toy dog house for that. Thank God for the blender.
Snoopy = cool character
sno-cone machine = instrument of Hell
I got a snow-cone maker but around '72. And it wasn't snoopy. So while I did get a snow-cone machine, it wasn't a cool one like snoopy. Damn, even when I win, I lose.
I also wanted bell-bottoms. Thank HEAVENS mom never pulled through on THAT one..
I wanted one of those too Jen! Sooooo badly too and never got one, even though it was on my list EVERY year.
I also wanted Star Wars toys of any kind but never got any because I was a girl (damn sexist parents!). But I now have my revenge because I have a HUGE Star Wars collection! Bwahahahaha!
I wanted "Scrub-a-Dub Dolly" or was it "Rub-a-dub" I don't know. Either way, I never got it.
I wanted PXL 600 Cam-corder,too. YOU GOT IT, you bitch, I didn't. Not that I'm bitter. HAHA
You know what I DID get that I've always wanted, Jen? The Book of Mormon. Yes, I received it on Saturday...addressed to me... "Ms. Angelica Bobo". Thank you, Jen. I'll expect the Latter Day Saints to knock on my door any day now.
HAHAHAHA
I remember those. I believe I had a friend who got everything they wanted.
I probably got the easy bake oven and that was enough.
I am sure there is a picture somewhere of Dick with bell bottoms on!
a chopper
oh my gosh, my brother had one of those and we loved it!!
I got a lite-bright and thought I'd died and gone to heaven...
I remember wanting roller-skates sooo bad, we eventually got some second hand ones, but it wasn't the same...
Mushy - It's just not the same
Nobody - Yeah come to think of it
it was before 85 I changed it
Pixie- LUCKY! I never got the easy bake oven either.. This is the reason I can't cook. I blame my parents for never getting me the oven - I wanted one.. Damn Them!!
Dirty - I wanted a big wheel too
but we lived on this huge hill.. I think my parents were afraid I would kill myself..
Teri- I accept money orders & cash
Fantastagirl - Cabbage Patch kids...
remember when people would trample
each other in the stores for those things! I never wanted one
mixednut - maybe santa will bring you a nice 357 mag if you're good
stjarna - 3 tablespoons of ice
is better than no ice - I want one!!!! LOL
Dick Small - I bet anything you have bell bottoms on right now Dick..
don't ya...
Bloomin' Crazy - I had some
Star Wars toys.. my parents were not sexist.. just clueless
I wanted Luke & Han I got the Hammerhead dude and Bosk
BOSK for christ's sake!!
2 fools _ I haD RUB A BUD
BWAHAHAHAH
and the PXL 2000 will always be the greatest gift of all time
Lynda - He's wearing them now
you know he is..
Ritardo - Maybe Santa will bring you a chopper... well.. then again
You probably havent been good
have you? - doubt it
j.k.a - LOVED lite brite!!
A snow making machine in RI! What? Am I missing something here Jenster?
haha
You wubbed Snoopy.
I think I was probably pretty spoiled. I even got a Cabbage Patch Kid. I'm sure I wanted the Snoopy Sno-cone maker, but I know I didn't get it.
I do remember one year my parents got me a table easel for painting, and wrapped with it was a note that said "IOU paints and paper"... I never got the paints and paper.
Jen, I would totally love to get you that for Christmas. I had one as a child, and my darling, you would love it. Ebay it!!
I wanted the Castle of Greyskull. I am such a tomboy.
Ohh THAT'S right. THAT was the year I asked for a snoopy snow cone machine and instead I got marlboro's in my stocking. Sure, now it's all coming back clearly...
