Your #1 GOAT TOY as a kid

[Art Barr]

WHEN THIS STARTED.

this was the greatest day in tv history.

i remember every kid was on ten cause they cancelled voltron.

at this time slot and moved it to afternoons.

except nobody knew it till after school that day.

then the greatest shyt came on ever in its place.
the only grown up shyt in life...




you was grown after this shyt...period.
nuffin has come on better than this in movies or tv.

the only shyt that will make you mature as fukk in all aspects..

the goat...
if you ain't seen this.
you mind probably small as fukk.....

you weak minded if you never saw this.....

i urge anyone to see this.
if not you lauced't......

no bullshyt...frfr.

go watch this now....
don't say another word till you watch...ROBOTECH.
fukk any other anything..
including any and all anime, movie...whatever.
..you don't have to watch shyt else after this as well.
ain't shyt gon come on.
or be made better than this period.
ain't no character nuffin better than this shyt...ever.

nuffin in life..has been better than this...EVA...

only show that ever came on that showed you how to be a man.
what being an actual adult is, and nuffin has ever been made that will do what this does.

you deprived if you never seen it.
you deprived if no one told you about it.
you deprived..

just shut tha fukk up and watch it and grow that fukk up from watching it.

how could i forget the first grail.

mama hold tha phone toy of the gen..


this shyt right here...was it.
like this was the first...
you found out you was fukk'n po'h...with no or...
poor boy,..before broke boy as a word toy...

when a kid had this....
you was old news to anybody.
if a kid had this shyt.

plus it was so well made.

it came with this big dumb ass ramp.

plus you could make ramps and this shyt worked...just like the commercial and evel knievel frfr.

this toy pretty much fueled every kid's desire for toys probably ever.
when someone told you a toy was crack..before crack was even invented.

this was the toy it was judged against...
it was damn near indestructible and was still on the shelf when i was six too.

probably the best shelf life for a mechanized expensive toy and it was worth every penny.
any kid who had this..or if you got to play with this.
this was joy and worth the price tag.

my best friends pops was an engineer and he would make us ramps to jump this motherfukker across a whole basement.
it was like an introduction to tools and engineering.
arguably the goat toy....

how could i forget this.......

this thread is just magic..

mine had weird painted on leg boots.
so you could change peter gear.
except mine he had the boots underneath his shoes.

so when petey broke...i was heart broke.
till melissa and barbie showed me that ken could work in place of my peter parker doll that broke beyond repair.
then i would just use some red or blue barbie boots cowboy boots to complete the spidey suit.


i remember i had made peter whole apartment with the skylight and all that shyt as a shawty.

gawd..i loved this toy.

i can't find the one model i had though.

gawd i miss this toy..

i miss my ken doll cause he was peter and the lone ranger too.
ken used to hold it down...fukk what any other boys was talking about.

if you had the big luke and he broke. you could put ken in luke clothes too.

Yea when my pops and mother got divorced shyt just changed and then crack hit and all the innocence was gone.
Before then we use to wake up early in the morning with my mother playing music on this

Start cleaning up to get ready to go outside. Before we knew how to ride bikes we were stuntin on those big wheels man. Spinning out and everything. shyt it use to be a contest to see who could get outside first b/c you felt like you was missing something. Hell our mothers didnt even want us coming back in the house until we were good and tired. I remember when it was a big deal to go inside each other's houses too. You had to ask both parents permission if you could "have company". Aww man that's how everybody got to know each other in the neighborhood and on the block. Good times as a kid in my old neighborhood.

my grandmother down here still has this....
i look at it in complete awe every day i go down there.
this shyt was the first base item.
the firsti right of passage as a kid to even touch an adult thing.
i remember adults let you around this and taught you about how to take care of shyt.

did yours have the tv behind the cabinet doors?

just this picture alone....
is what black america was.
this piece and photo meant so much to what being a kid was back then.

damn.....fukk crack and what this government did.

imma go see this tomorrow.

the one great thing about moving is seeing my grandmother and this still existing to just look at.
this was the centerpiece of the black household.

i still feel it holds the magic to this day.


just the symbolism of this in this picture.....

words just don't do it justice.

When I was younger, I wanted to be an astronomer/astrophysicist so the toy that I loved the most was my home planetarium. It was something like this..

This along with my telescope, I would spend all night identifying stars, constellations, comets, galaxies, etc.

Really made my childhood magical.
