FF:WA There Back

Tonight whilst On our weekly shopping expedition or maybe I should say harassment patrol ,Grizzly and I saw something we both hadn?t seen for years (and I?m not talking about my knees ).
There on the counter in full view of everybody was a box of ?????..wait for it???YO-YO?S.
Yes it appears the humble Coke-a-Cola sponsored yo-yo?s have returned to kick off yo-yo season 2001.
Now I?m not one to be swayed by gimmicks or point of sale promotions but I wanted a yo-yo I needed a yo-yo I had to have a yo-yo ,I , I , I............


.........I bought 6 of them
In fact I?m playing with mine right now as I type
and I?m getting better at it

 

After work tomorrow LD go out and get yourself one.
I have my "classic" Coke hidden in a box someplace.

 

Rock the cradle.
Over the falls.
Round the world.
Walk the dog.

I used to actually be able to do all those tricks. Doubt I could now though.

 

I remember doing round the world, infact its about all I could do! I first remember seeing it on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!

WOW, thats a blast from the past, I think I might go watch that again. Off to the video shop for me.

 

"In fact I?m playing with mine right now as I type and I?m getting better at it "

Congrats!

 

TMNT? If that's the first time you saw it, you must be a young-un.
I remember in Primary School it was a real big craze and Coca-cola would send guys around to schools doing demonstratios.

 

Hey give me break, I'm not as old as you!

 

Hey I remember that too Soneil. I think I won A Fanta one at one of those school things.

Gees are you as ols as me....sheesh!

 

Lots of "old" type people here, but we remain (at least try damn hard to be) young at heart.

 

And so says Grandma

 

As city rep, I authorise GOS to give Grizzly a virtual wedgey for that remark (or a real one if she'd prefer).

 

The real one would be more fun, the expression on the face would be great. However I will be gracefull and remind Grizzly that the Grandpa(him)of the forum should be carefull before making snide remarks LOL
What is it Griz? 6 months between us??? you old bloke!!

 

hahaha you're just making yourself older there Grandma

 

I am the oldest Female on the OR. But YOU Griz are the oldest Male.
Don't get to carried away with the age thing old bloke.

 

Don't feel too bad. Shadowfire is the grandpa of the NSW forums and he's only my age. They're babies over there.

 

sorry Grandma.. i didn't realise you'd pushed your birthday back to September
and you're -still- gonna be 34 before me

 

Geez Grizzly that's funny
