Hey, Benson, I’m taking TWO weeks off to strip, prime, and paint my house. So there!
ENY – I used to love the ‘metal’ monkey bars. I can’t find a pic to link, but they were the standard in every NYC playground. Silver metal bars built like an erector set. Now looking back they were high! We’d always have climbing races to see who’d get to the top first.
The metal swings were cool. I always wanted to be the one standing with my friend sitting. So I can swing really high till she begged me to stop.
oh well, those days are gone. Bring on the plastic.
Thread’s up!
Aren’t there rules about racehorse names that entail linking them to lineage?
“What happened to see saws and monkey bars and those flat hard swings that one kid can sit on and one can stand up facing them and they swing together.”
You’re bring back some big time memories.
Looks like Thursday Links is shaping up to BE our Thursday OT. Fine by me.
Arkady, wanna help me pick out a name for a racehorse? I think you’d be brilliant.
Time to start making really egregious comments on other threads so he’ll open the playground?
“Seriously, what’s w/ the OT? Think he’s dumped us?”
maybe not having the OT is part of the ‘new and improved’ site.
I scrolled down to yesterday’s HOTD and under the listing is ‘Categories’ and clicked on HOTD and the past ones came up.
Kinda doing it half-ass backward if you ask me.
I also noticed that under yesterday’s other threads, there are NO categories like there were in the past.
MR. B – these little things make a difference in navigating this site for past info.
