Today was a very sad day in Mr. Dave's world, I won't get into that here, so I thought I would share something that made me smile before the badness set in. I found the above pictured toy package at Target this morning. Apparently, Fisher Price has issued a kind of classic toys collection. They are offering Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, Chatter Telephones, Bouncy Bees, and all other manner of classic, old timey toys. All in their classic packaging. Also, they have the above pictured "Hall of Fame Toy Package." This includes a tin of Crayola Crayons, Silly Putty, a Slinky, and a Duncan YoYo. Nostalgia literally punched me in the face when I saw this. If you gave me this circa 1989, I do believe I would have shit. I had to buy the package for myself, Giblet got the Chatty Telephone.
I do believe at this age she would attempt to eat Tinker Toys or she would have got those too.
This is stuff from a day when men where men and toys were toys. It was all I could do not to buy the deluxe Lincoln Log set for myself. If you have a wee 'un on your list for this years X-Mas season, consider these offerings. I know that the little ones in my family circle will be showered with this stuff.

There is just a lot of bad stuff going around these days. Rolling back the clock to 1989 isn't such a bad idea. I'd even take rolling it back to 2006. That was a pretty good year.
I totally want to get that phone for my little girl. But am nervous that all her favorite toys will be phones. It sets a bad precedent.
whoa, silly putty! i remember being crushed because it didn't work on coloured news print
Wow. I had that phone, and Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys. TTs were the best! My father used to help come up with the coolest creations.
...I'm sorry you're bumming out.
Please Mr. Dave, please.........hold off a long time on those tinker toys. My sister almost put out an eye with those as a toddler.
