I looked forward to projects like that because it meant spending time with my dad repairing things. Good life lessons.
April 8, 20187 yr I still have 2 or 3 dozen of these: Last I checked, I think they were worth $0.02 each.

We had this one I got the elephant rifle for Christmas when I was knee-high to a junebug. It was the most awesome thing I had ever owned...perhaps sill is. A couple fo days later I took it with me to grandma's house a couple of hours from home for the family holiday visit. It disappeared. Just as we were leaving the little shithead cousins ran up with it, it was covered it paint, an awful blueberry puke color, with no rhyme nor reason. They said, "we painted it for you!" Heartsick to the bone, I swallowed my crushing disappointment and replied, "you can have it." They were stoked. I cried in the back seat of the car for half the trip, then my soul just died. There was no justice to be had, no retribution, no apologies offered, no sympathy. They destroyed my favorite thing in the world, and nobody gave a fuck. It was perhaps the most traumatic event of my life, completely destroying my trust in human beings. Anyway, TMI. That's probably the main reason I became an asshole.

April 11, 20187 yr I had so many of those action figures. Ended up selling them all and made enough to buy a NES with the robot.

April 11, 20187 yr I'll see your NFL jackets and raise you this: Loved the NFL Sheets as a kid.....of course I had a roommate after college that was sporting a more modern version of this on his bed....we were out drinking one night and he was lamenting his lack of action in said sheets.....to which another friends girl goes....."no self respecting woman is getting it on with someone in a bed with NFL sheets".....said sheets disappeared shortly thereafter.
April 11, 20187 yr My mom used to do all my Cowboys stuff through Sears catalog. She was pissed when I lost one of my Cowboys mittens in a car bumper while bumper sledding one winter.

On accident, of course.
