Kids Of The 70's - U.s. Member Question - darko@totalgeek - 08-04-2008
Anyone know if you can still buy the <b>Fun Fountain by Wham-O</b> in the U.S. ?check this link for what I mean. <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=456hCpsgCAI\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=456hCpsgCAI</a>I just found the one I had as a kid in my parents garage. After 20+ years it's a little worse for wear - Mines lost the hat and hose clamp fitting <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pinch.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":pinch:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"pinch.gif\" /> ,I'd love to pick one up for some spares. Tried ebay already, no luck.Thanx

I had one of those.lol...and yeah those were better times.you had your occasional serial killer, but it was much safer on the streets.I remember being out way past dark playing in the woods, and just plain goofing off.Halloween was a lot more fun as well.We trick or treated till like 10, and the biggest fear was if you had a razor blade in your apple.I think halloween 2 started that myth if I am not mistaken.And the street gangs back then were a lot like those on the warriors.They had themes.lol

well i didn't grow up in the 70's but i was born in 83 so i had some of the best times in the 80's . toys were better , movies for the most part , music by far , tv shows , and of course halloween . where i live now , oh man you'd be lucky if you see a group of trick or treaters . like everyone just gave up or something <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":confused:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"confused.gif\" /> . it's just not fun these days to do anything . so lame and serious all the time and people not taking their kids trick-or-treating prob. thinking there's a terrorist that's gonna strap a fire cracker to a snickers bar or something . i bet their kids' kids will hear a story about halloween where gangs of kids dressed up and went from house to house getting bags of candy and asking their parents if they ever did that and they would say " no i never did . my parents wouldn't let me " . that's as bad as having your kid not grow up with Christmas mike,
