Used toilet paper is worth more than my 401K is right now!
Couldn't give you an amount on our "old" stuff, but I saw a ton of it and most of the asking prices were mouth dropping! The girl I went shopping with kept saying, "I used to have one of those" or "I wish I still had one of those"! Dolls, Tonka Trucks, games, books. The Susie Homemaker Oven I saw wasn't even in good shape and they were asking $185.00!! I threw mine in the trash thinking it was a worthless piece of plastic! And as my luck would have it, I'm still waiting to become a "Susie Homemaker"!! One would think after all the hours of waiting for the 40 watt light bulb to bake the itty, bitty cakes in the itty, bitty cake pans, in the itty-bitty oven that one would have instantly become a "Susie Homemaker". Never could bake a damn cake!
I think it says you're a pack-rat and you don't remember sh_t anymore! To my knowledge, Barbie's friend was Midge, but I don't remember sh_t anymore either, so maybe yes, maybe no. If it was Midge, what product manager came up with that?! It's almost as bad as Beulla!
The day I de-briefed my Ken doll (I think that was the day after Christmas 1966), was the day I discovered he didn't have any balls. When did you make that discovery?
Linda - You've got to be kidding - of course Vance has too much time on his hands, he works for the government. And - since he is a CIO he also knows how to get around the "firewalls" like our companies put up to stop us from viewing the stuff at work and making us do it at home.
Eric - I couldn't get to it so I'll have to wait until I get home to see what Vance has come up with this time.
Vance - That site sounds so X-rated! "Barbie-Girl Aqua" has a "Debbie Does Dallas" ring to it! You're a pistol, aren't you?! We MUST do cocktails...
Tom - Balls didn't become part of my reality until back in grade school days when the neighborhood gang was all together to see who could ride their bike down Platt Street hill the fastest. Mike Chapman was part of that gang and he was movin' down that hill like a rocket until his foot accidently slipped off the peddle and his crotch landed on THE BAR! To this day no one knows how he got off that bike as fast as he did! At first, he cradled the badly bruised "boys" in his hands and then rolled around on someone front lawn screaming something about his balls! It was an "aah-haa" moment for me!
To save everyone's frustration of your work sites not allowing you to view YouTube..I've posted the embed code into my profile, you might be able to view it from there...
Nah, my federal jobs keeps me very busy, I only post stuff when I'm away on annual, compensatory, or sick leave...and believe me while working for the government for 29 years I've saved a lot of leave time. :)
Vance...thanks for the video. I remember the pink car. I had one of those. However, that was no barbie! She didn't have the right measurements. That was no Ken...Ken had beautiful hair.
Don & Vance - that was sooo not nice! That Barbie reminds me of that wife on "Married With Children" I think, is that the guy who sells shoes and his wife looks a little like a hooker? Bundy something...
