when i was in elementary school i was really big into batman: the animated series (the fox kids version. not the wussifed kids wb version) my favorite was ninja robin. when you squeezed his legs (no jokes please i know it's robin) his arm would slash. it came with weapons of course. a sword and nunchuks. and he had a helmet too. god i loved that toy. i was a sucker for action figures that had removable armor. and i admitt it i was a power ranger freak. i had the set with all the weapons that combined to form the really big gun. mmm nostalgia. to an 8 year old kid nerf guns are the coolest thing on the face of the earth

Ha! sneaky ninja, that's really funny... because my g/f's daughter had a little tiny nerf gun sitting in the car. It's the kind that shoots little foam cylanders - 'darts' if you will... rather than the balls. It's actually really small, but has an air pump and a release trigger. The air pressure really makes those things fly (they fly better if you cut them in half) - anyway, so I picked this thing up and was having a field day. I think nerf guns are actually more fun for some adults, than they are for kids.

Yeah, I had one of those little Nerf dart guns... but all the darts got chewed up so it doesn't work very well anymore.

[quote="flowbug";p="115748"]I feel a tinge of skepticism at Lith's comments... it's hard for me to imagine someone actually doing those things. However, I have known my fair share of geniuses, and Mensa-brights - and well, Mensa-brights tend to be common-sense dull. Maybe it's not so far off, then. Truth is supposed to be stranger than fiction. I'm just glad I didn't live in a dorm with your friend and a policy of shared cooking duties.

I've heard lots of talk about how we should all beware of Lith - maybe Lith's friends are even more dangerous?

Heh, it was only one friend, Lucky (who earned his nickname because his was the meaning of his last name, oddly enough), and lith is sure he would have made an interesting dorm mate!

If not one accused of Bio-Terrorism, and assault with a cooked weapon...

/me steals all the original transformers

lith misses all those transformers, all of hers met an untimely end by the sandbox and the 'surgery room'.

Lith used them as spare parts for her Barbie's.

[quote="flowbug";p="116841"]Hey, that brings up a thought, though... she's not from childhood, but my favorite thing to cuddle with when I go to bed nowadays is my sweetiepie. She's like 50 times better than a stuffed animal.[/quote]
Hehehehehe. You said "sweetiepie."

elroy: Never seen a Nerf gun? The cruel weapons used to combat office bordom and unstiffle creativity (at least at one of the place's where I've worked....)

The one that I have looks like this (picture courtesy of Amazon.com):

my favorite nerf gun was this one from the "cyberstrike gear" line. i forgot what it was called but it had three guns. one shat balls, another shot an arrow thing and the other shot darts. the best part was combining them to form the ULTIMATE WEAPON OF FOAMY DOOM!! lol
