Guilty Pleasures

still around today ... I buy a pack on occasion (when my Millennial kids - 30 and 28 yrs old - are in town. We fight over the "reds" :)).

the characters are speaking non-sense words .. I was "corrected" (not like in the "Shining" :) ) for using those words - which I knew were wrong but it was fun sayin' them.

picked up this "habit" in college, circa 1980. My motto: Conquer early, Conquer often! Hard to find people my age who still wanna play .. let alone even know how :)

Then you have the game with the wooden armies.

l didnt own a game in 1980 ... a college chum did but I am pretty sure it had plastic peices.

the game i bought was a few years later -- mid 80's vintage - and it has these pieces stock photo from internet) .. plastic too.

Ooooo, the Ice Cream of City Slickers!

nah .. just the terribly weak, low resistance, "sweeets junkie bumpkin" i am. glad its almost $6.00 a pint in my area else I would weigh 1,000 pounds :)

honestly, TOO RICH but SO GOOD (i am only a rum raisin guy).. I only splurge once every six months -- and fast for a day before buying it

the game that taught me at about 7 years old how wonderful "revenge" can feel .. they should have named it "Take That You (Fill in the blank). :D

Seriously, 50 plus years and I still dig it. used it to teach my kids good sportmanship vs. how I learned it playing with older cousins.

These are what got me into restoring cars. I would buy broken NES's and N64's and customize them, making a couple hundred bucks profit while doing so. Doing this is what gave me some money to pay for The Moose. I'll have to post some pictures if I can find some.
