Things you wish you still had from when you were young

HOLY CRAP...that existed????

I had the Base. I thought it was the biggest GI Joe thing. Dammit!

 

ok this is weird. but last night when i couldnt sleep i was laying in bed and a thought crossed my mind to start a thread here on clutchfans about things you miss about childhood. i was going to talk about the video/comic book store in brenham from where im from that i went to a bunch as a kid.

i rarely start threads on here. weirdness.

 

Boners.

my other kidney.

 

How are you able to sing such good songs like "When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy" with only one??

OoOOooohhhhh... you said kidney. I thought you said LUNG. Sorry, sir.

 

He still manages to piss on the internet.

 

Not being a Dan Downer in the thread, but I like the topic:

My brother.....


Shot at a gas station down the street from our house in Jersey.


RIP.

I'd give up all of my material possessions for him to be back. People>Things.

 

That sucks and it's very true, your last statement.

I guess I would have to say the relationship I had with my father. We're on very, very rocky terms now. And perhaps my high school figure.

I kept all my collectibles, like barbies and such. Hopefully they'll be worth something in the years to come.

 

I am extremely sorry for your loss Codman, but remember, you will get to see him again one day in heaven. Until then, when you think of your brother, think of all the good times you celebrated together, and how you're going to get to see him again in the future. He is in a better place now, and I'm sure he misses you too. I cannot imagine what it would feel like to lose a brother.

Always stay strong and positive.

And yes, one's life is much more important than any material possession.

 

my he-man metal lunch kit.

 

The complete and utter absence of cell phones. A huge amount of our personal freedom went out the window with their invention and ubiquitous popularity, which most here have no conception of, not having experienced the ability to say, "I'll see you later!" as you drive away and not one person really knows where you are or what you are doing, unless you call and tell them. I miss it.

 

Swoly's mom.

 

HUGE nostalgia bomb.

I never had them all, only Longhaul, Bonecrusher and Hightower. My cousin bought them all, combined them, but he wouldn't let me play.

I believe Devastator was one of, if not the only, combiner that had 6 pieces.

 

For nostalgic purposes, I wish I still had anything from when I was a kid. My house burned to the ground when I was in sixth grade so I don't have anything from before then.

As for things of monetary value, I wouldn't mind having my old comic collection back. My prized possession was Fantastic Four #3 (first appearance of the FF costumes, Baxter building, Fantasti-car and I think maybe Dr. Doom too, but it might have been the Molemen), just because it was worth the most, but I had all kinds of great old stuff. Mostly DC but some Marvel too. My FF #3 was one of the few things that didn't burn actually, but it was waterlogged by the firemen when they arrived. I had a pretty sweet old record collection too. Those all melted.

 

Was that the same as the baseball card store close to where the Jack in the Box is near 36 now? I used to go to that store a lot during the summer when i spent time with my grandparents. I still remember getting packs of 1991 Upper Deck baseball trying to get Bagwell rookie cards!

 

Hair.
Reading vision.

 

I had an almost completely metal Optimus Prime transformer WITH the trailer.
