ok, kidding, but that is one of my fave commercials of all time. (nintendo commercial)
but, srsly, i did not have that many toys. a friend of mine used to insist that the reason i had a bunch of kids was for the toys. never could really argue.

decided the worst part about kids is that they have no memory of the really best times. their memories start to stick at about the time the shit hits the fan. and as young adults, they barely remember anything but the damn teenage years.

f-p made some incredible toys.
