True, then they are just spoiled adults.

Well it is possible to spoil them without ruining them. But you have to teach them respect and gratefulness while spoiling them.:)

Lol, he forgot his password

also, just bought a 32 gb HP touchpad that I really don't want. Instead of giving it to him, I think i may try to throw it on ebay for a nice little profit.

The Potato Masher is built to launch potatoes 100 yards to a 1/4 mile. Just add hair spray and let her rip!
Damn, wish I had one of those when I was 15.

We used to make these when I was a kid but we called them "Polish Cannons." Took 3 pop cans, cut out the top & bottom of two of the cans and the top of a 3rd. Taped them together with electrical tape and poked a hole in the bottom. Put lighter fluid in the hole, dropped in a tennis ball and lit her up. Would shoot a tennis ball about 100 feet in the air. Had to be creative growing up on a 400 acre farm with nobody around to throw me pop flys.

I went away from Electronics this year, and got my son his first fishing setup. (the real stuff, not the transformer's set @ Target) I was always an athelete, but my son is not follwing in my footsteps. He does however love being outside, and I need to find something we can do together. The best part is I hit a clearance sale at Dick's and got a whole pile of stuff for $25. On a side note. Why the He!! are Legos so expensive?
