These were awesome, you could stuff a couple squares in the nose. Pretty loud without the caps, too

I totally had the Cap Bomb! Probably more than one. And yeah, stuffing them with as many caps as possible was so fun! That toy and the rolls of caps brings back so many great memories!
I own some cap guns, none from my childhood though. Don’t have any caps either.

I had lots of balsa wood planes, but I think those are somewhat later. I’m not sure the ones I had when I was really little had plastic propellers. I wish I could remember them more clearly.
I don’t know Pop-Its.

RIP such a wise soul
some had little red plastic landing gear in the 70s, I think.
I’ll have to get a picture of the wood and paper one I have, that’s managed to remain in one piece tomorrow

Yeah, the one with the metal weight on the front. I remember having lots of those! They didn’t last long but were fun as hell for a little kid!

Yep, I got a Visible Woman when they came out too. It was so educational (and kind of sexy for a little kid too).
Erector Sets and Lincoln Logs were big in my house too. Later, when Lego’s came out I started building hybrid Lincoln Log/Lego hybrid buildings.

It’s bamboo. Some asshat up the hill let his bamboo privacy patch get away, and someone else around the hill let a different kind of bamboo go, the two types meet, mix and mingle in my back yard 
It’s kinda fun to go out there twice a year and swing the hatchet, but I know I’m not winning that war.
I should make a million bongs.
I let one stay alive to bear witness to the slaughter last year, it’s like 6 inches in diameter and 50 feet tall
