My friends and I were trying to waste time one night before a movie and spend like 45mins trying to get a toy duck out of the "claw" machine thingy

well if there was one that did pants then that would Definitely be the best, but there isn’t. at least not in Connecticut. so the second best would have to be the one that dispenses the sparkly stickers.
I'm doing my best, everyday and every night, hangin on by a thread, that’s stretched a little too tight. If I can't find some piece of mind. I’ll take what I can get, I ain't doin much good, but I’m doing my best.

That's probably okay. As fun as they are, there's a dark underbelly to that happy face that rolls down prices... using monopolization to ruin small town economies, union busting, sweatshop products, the list goes on.

I always loved the rides. The really little Merry-Go-round was always my favorite. My mother couldn't take a my brother and I to Walmart without letting us ride the stupid thing. Ah I wish I were 5 again. Those were the good times.

I *love* those claw machine things...I can actually get stuff out of them sometimes! :)
I adore Wally World...I go there all the time just to hang around and do stupid stuff. The phones are right next to furniture at ours so I went there with a friend once and hid cordless phones in the cabinets...It was great. Someone got me a 20$ Wal-Mart shopping card for Christmas so I went there on New Year's Eve with a friend and used almost the whole thing on junk food and soda...Wally World is like my second home... :smile:

today i got 4 things out of one of those little claw things. i almost got 5, but it dropped it right before it was gonna drop it in the hole (it was crappy anyway). i got a lil pink shny dice (eww...pink) and a plushie-like butterfly thingy. i also got two lil green dinosaur things, but they were crappy so i gave them to my brother.

i've got skill. oh yeah.

It would be so awesome if they had pant machines in front of Wal-Mart! I would be al like "Hey mom, I'm going to Wal-Mart to use the machines" And then I'd come home ith some pants, and she'd be all like, "did you go into Wal-Mart dear?" and I'd be all like "No, mom, I got these from the machine!" And then I would be eternally happy. I just had a moment. Excuse me.

Wow... I just had a vivid childhood flashback to vending machines - not at walmart, but at the supermarket my mom and I used to go to which no longer exists.

I think my favorite toy ever came in a toy egg, and it was one of those goopy, sticky strings with the the shape of a hand on the end that you can fling at a surface and the hand will stick. I don't even know what to call it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I used to get such joy out of flinging it at our car windows as we were driving home!
