Random Memorial for Monday 1/13/14

Gone but not forgotten:  spending hours playing with the item in this picture.

NO ... not the weedwacker ... the classic Tic Tac Toe Toss plastic game.

I know you kids have your cornhole as a substitute ... but this was how me and mine rolled back in the day (that day being squarely in the seventies, I believe).  I saw it at the flea market this past weekend and *almost* bought it -- but they didn't have the beanbags and I was in a "anything-I-buy-I-have-to-pack" mood for the move to Florida, so I begrudgingly walked on by.

Xs and Os of my youth (and the occasional one that got stuck in the middle and didn't fall all the way through so arguments would break out over which one it should be) ... you are missed!

NOTHING BEATS THE CLASSIC:
