Wallowing in Nostalgia

2 Warps to Neptune, a 70s-80s nostalgia site for video games, toys, movies, and general reminiscence. As Mad Builders puts it, if the site was made of sugar you'd turn into a diabetic just reading it. Of course there's some amusing snark with the nostalgia:

Speaking of BSG, I had the Viper before that kid choked on the red missile and they were recalled and reissued with a missile that popped out only about half an inch, like a sad, tiny boner.


That's right, kiddies: we used to have toys that actually did cool things. Then some retard stuffed the end of the viper into his mouth -- I suspect he would have grown up queer... I mean... LOOK:



...and then pushed the button, launching the, um... projectile into his throat and conveniently removing himself from the gene pool. Unfortunately, we don't celebrate Uncle Chuck's successes the way we should, so all the "missile" launchers were pulled from the shelves. Now we have toys that are more suited for for limp-wristed future polesmokers.

And if all that offended you, GOOD. It was meant to.

I was fortunate to have the non-castrated versions of both the viper and cylon raider. The biggest problem I ever had with them was finding where those little torpedoes landed in the back yard. If course, I had the original lawn darts too, the ones with the aluminum spike. Having those by today would probably get me identified as "a danger to himself and others".

The website is cool though.

Lawn Darts or "Jarts: were wonderful toys. My brother and I had great fun playing long distance Mumbly Peg with them......
