Remember these?

How many of you sported bumps and bruises
from trying to master the Clacker?
How many of you turned into ninjas
5 minutes after picking them up?
These were responsible for making
me look like a child abuse victim.

  4. Those things were evil.

    I'm positive they were invented by some grumpy old bastard muttering get off my lawn the whole time he was drawing them up.

  5. WOW! We use to make them in shop class. Course, the ones we made were not as good as the store bought ones. I've got scar's on my arm, from when mine exploded.
    We use to call them, Wacky Clackers. It got so bad, that they were banned from our school in Junior High.

    Aww, what memories.

  11. HWA, I refuse to draw you a picture if you truly are at a loss (which I doubt), however (and I shall go out on a limb here), exercise of the female genitalia is involved in this conversation.

  19. Thanks Angel! I do most of my stuff from a phone and it isn't always that easy. I am from Texas on the north side.
