I received a small remote control helicopter as one of my b-day presents. I'll be damned if it isn't the most fun thing ev@r. When my puppy starts to pass out and I need him to stay awake a while longer, the heli comes out and I fly it all around the house.

Have anything that keeps you easily entertained?

used to have a slinky, when I lived in an apartment and had stairs. the remote control car is a player here as well, but my dang kids think it is theres, geez. Nerf air guns and these cool pnuematic rocket things are also always good for fun.

I was born with everything I need to keep myself entertained.
As Rodney Dangerfield once said, "If I weren't born a boy, I'd have nothing to play with!"

I like remote control anything.

My arsenal currently contains:

2 zip zaps (remote car from radio shack)
a teeeny little remote car that goes backwards/frontwards only - that sits on a pen when not in use
a remote flying saucer thing with all sorts of blinky lights - pretty cool in a parking lot at night

several light up things - I luv neon flashy things

and other stuff too.

Did I mention the fact that gumball machines still fascinate me as to what funky little treasures are in there?

And DO NOT take me by a toy store cause I'll go get lost in there.

:p

See if I had kids, I'd just be fascinated by their stuff - I don't have any kids so I accumulate toys ...

Childish Entertainment
For childish entertainment I read Pheard threads. If one does not come in a timely enough manner to cure my entertainment need, I start my own and then let Pheard's desire for attention take over. Either way, its just sit back and relax.


Like shooting fish in a barrel. :)

Jerk it straight up, and when the ball stops rising, just scoop it up.

That's like saying you know how to hoola-hoop. Just keep it going instead of letting it fall. :rolleyes:

Oh contraire monfrere, it gets older every year, just like you.

Are you two talking about the same thing? :D

How did you stop the aging process Portis?

Hobartlemagne

Not exactly- most people swing the ball up in a circular trajectory. I used to just hit myself in the
head doing that. The jerk straight up is clearly the more controlled move. It really isnt that hard
after you learn that.

trying to make porn on the etch-a-sketch was one of the best time wasters I've ever had when I was grounded for 9 months (long story, got arrested, managed to talk my way out of charges, cata was a bad kid, don't do like he did, patent pending, warranty void where prohibited, est 1979 all rights reserved).
