I was searching through my deceased mothers attic collection of family momento,s recently when i happened apon a long brown box whose contents were a complete mystery....for about the 5 seconds it took me to open it.....and then,... there it lay. The must have of every red blooded North American boy in 1964. Ladies and gentlemen,I give you the "JOHNNY SEVEN". (sorry Ladies,wrong kind of boy toy eh!) It was the kick ass grenade launching,plastic bullet shootin machine gun with hidden compartments which was the destroyer of all our imagined enemies. I smile when I remember my other 2 brothers zinging plastic bullets around my ears as we engaged in firefights Christmas day untill Mom and Dad told us to take the war outside. How on earth she managed to salt the thing away is indeed a pleasent mystery. It,s a little banged up but still looks like the cool piece of kit it was in 64. It,s amazing how much it looks like the M-60 when the tripod is extended. This ought to bring back a few memories to some of the"more mature" members of the Wab.:))

Tankie:
When I was a little kid I had one of those neighbors, Timmy, whose parents were constantly buying him all kinds of really neat stuff (during the very early 60s go-cart fad his old man got him a 49 VW beetle, pulled the body & voila, he had a 40hp go-cart to drive around their cornfield. I learned to drive, park, stuff like that at 12).
Considerably earlier, one of those really nifty things he had been given was a heavy leather twin holster rig with very realistic "cowboy guns." John, thy name wast envy. I actually wrote a letter to Santa Claus asking for one. Got a note in reply on The Day, explaining that he was out of them, or something like that. Naturally, I took it to Crestline Elementary School to confront the Santa atheists. O Jesus. Did I get the horse laugh.
Since my reality avenues to possession of that neat rig had been walled off I turned my attention to the crummy cap pistols I already had. I used one of those new things then called a "magic marker" to color one of them black, & explained to Timmy that it was now a .357 Magnum, which, as he knew, was reputed to be able to shoot through the engine block of a car. In this way I was able to shoot through anything Timmy hid behind, something he felt was extremely unfair, & which ultimately resulted in tears. Timmy had stuff, but didn't have much of an imagination.

Urban Dictionary: boy-toy
4. boy toy
for some girls a boy toy is someone who they take advantage of for sexual purposes. in MOST cases, a boy toy is someone they fool around with, or like to be around. in this use of the word, both the female and the male have equal power. so, contrary to what SOME people think, being this does not make you somebody's bitch. being a boy toy is not a bad thing, it is mostly a good thing especially for guys who are horndogs. but everyone always knows that girls have a little more power because THEY can take away privelages. so don't complain :]“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” ~ Jimi Hendrix
