1) What was your favorite toy as a child?
I only get one? Hmm... oh, my bicycle. That counts, I think.

2) What is your favorite toy now that you're "grown up"?
Erm. My computer. Yeah, I'mma geek.

3) What is the most dangerous toy you had growing up?
My brother and I both had these plastic mazes from Woolworth's that contained a ball of liquid mercury. The object of the game was to get the ball through the maze without the ball breaking apart. Or without breaking the maze and poisoning yourself. :^D

4) What is the most dangerous toy you have now?
I still have the maze. It's on the floor of my room as I type.

5) What one toy do you wish you had/have?
As a kid, I wanted to have a Lite Brite (remember those boards with the glowing pegs?). My cousins had one, but they never wanted to play with it when we came to visit. :-P

There's fun and excitement around every corner, I swear.

In the realm of not-so-fun, my cousins' dog was attacked and killed by their neighbor's pit bull in my cousins' backyard. They live out in the country where people let their dogs have the run of the yard, fields, and forest, so encounters between neighboring dogs are fairly common. Still, it's sad. So, here's to Keno, the nicest black lab/shepherd mix in Punxsutawney from 1994-2005. You were a good boy.

AHAHAHAHA! You own, hardcore. Do you ever wonder what things we let kids play with now will be found to be horribly dangerous in the future? Scary.

I'm so sorry about your cousin's dog. That's really depressing. But now he's on to a better incarnation, right?
