<-- I never had this game.
But the picture made me laugh
so I looked for more info & found
an entire post about it here
Board Games? Doubt It.
I always wanted
Hungry Hungry Hippos
but never got it... Life is unfair.
I had never even seen this game before. You had it? It looks very cool.
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't have it..
ReplyDeleteI did have connect four
but nobody ever wanted to play it
with me...
Ah. Connect Four. So annoying. :)
ReplyDeleteI just played the classics: Monopoly, Parchisi, and Life.
Those were good years.
I forgot about Parchisi - My mom would play that one with me all the time.
ReplyDeleteI liked
Pictionary... now that's a game!
my cousin had that... OMG. great post... i am currently feeling 87 years old.
ReplyDeleteHAhahaHAha
ReplyDeleteI feel 87 too
I always wanted a chemistry set, because you could make explosives with those. I would have settled for an easy bake oven because you could make your own cakes and pies whenever you want. Unfortunately I got neither. Instead I got friggin' coloring books .... DAMN YOU SANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI never won at Parchisi. EVER.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and cousin used to gang up on me to make me lose early on.
You know, until this moment, I never realized what a sad childhood I led ... (Waaaaaaaaa!!)
I had a chemistry set!!
ReplyDeleteI use to melt crayons and mix it with all the chemicals.. LOL!
Pretty colors! I would add some shaving cream with it too. Or whatever else I got my hands on.
surprisingly..
I never blew up anything
If I still had my Easy Bake Oven, I'd send it to you, Mr. Small. Really I would.
ReplyDeleteWe used to bake vanilla cake with chocolate icing. Or strawberry cake with white icing. It was so much better than coloring books.
It's not Santa's fault. I don't think your parents liked you I'm sorry to say.
I guess I am "lucky". My son LOOOOVES playing boardgames (mainly because I am really bad at it and he beats me every time I think)
ReplyDeleteZed - I bet my childhood
ReplyDeletewas way more sad!
(Waaaaaaaaa! x10 !!!)
HahahA!
but at least I had a chemistry set
I never got an easy bake oven.
I really wanted one. - Maybe this is the reason I can't cook!
Jen, use your childhood deprivation to your advantage: Next time someone makes fun of your culinary skills say: "Hey, I never had an Easy Bake Oven!"
ReplyDeleteI do this sort of thing. Whenever someone asks me why I can't build a bomb, I say, "Hey, I never had a chemistry set!" Shuts 'em right up.
I hate the word Parchisi. It really irrates me. I think I hated it as a child too and that's probably why I never played it.
ReplyDeleteChinese Checkers was my childhood game of choice.
I had a chemistry set and everytime something blew up, I blamed my brothers. Life, Payday, Trouble. Just like now.
