I don't remember seeing that game but I was a bit older when it came out.

I did play conkers, however.

Hey, I remember those things! And they were a bit.... rambunctious as I remember.

But the most dangerous toy you have? Not according to this article:

Wait 'till they come out with the electronic, fob operated version. That will bring a whole new dimension of dissapointment to the words "I washed my fob and now it doesn't work!"

not only did your arms get bruised horribly, but kids lost a lot of teeth, had knots on their heads, and tons of stuff got broken....
they were banned from my school

We had klackers back in the day. Yep, those could put a hurtin on you in a hurry. I had heard that they had a few cases of klackers shattering and kids getting hurt from the shrapnel.

Now here's a dangerous toy for the kiddies to play with.



I still have a complete set out in the garage.

Those are no regular balls, those are assault balls with high capacity maga.... impact!

Maybe they would be safer if they did not sell them in pairs? Then it would take two people to clack their balls together.... nah, still sounds dangerous. Clearly some type of regulation is needed here.

But I have to say that a lot of amusing lines must have come out of all of that.... Hey Johnny, how did you break that tooth? I was playing with my balls when one of them hit me in the mouth.

Dr., is there anything we can do to prevent little Jimmy from getting lumps on his head? Yes, make him wear a helmet when he plays with his balls.

Timmy, what is that loud noise in the living room? It's just my balls banging together Mom.

Ad nauseum

I think those are only dangerous if a kid is standing in the circle really....

... next thing you know, they'll be putting playing cards in their spokes with clothes pins like the 70's too.  :o

I've got them on my Prius wheels so people can hear me.  Loud wheels save lives, you know.
