does anyone remember lincoln logs?

[gitreel]

[888888]

No.

[888888]

Oh no, wait, is that what the president made in his pants after he saw John Wilkes Booth aiming at him with a pistol?

[gitreel]

no you use them to build log cabins. They have a notch in them.

[888888]

Seriously, is it some kind of sausage? I remember hearing about them once and assuming it was something similar to Jimmy Dean sausage.

[gitreel]

no it was a toy, brown in color. They nad notches in them so you could interlace and stack them.

I had a set of these when I was 8 or 9 years old, but I have no idea what ever happened to them. Probably sold in a garage sale many years ago. They were fun for a while, but I always seemed to run out just as I was getting close to completing a big project. :P

[redwudz]

Like Roundabout, I had a set when I was 7-8 yrs old. They never had enough logs to build anything but a small cabin. If I had the original box and logs, probably worth some $ now. I think I had more fun with dirt piles and blocks of wood at that age, though.

I was a Lego man.

[Capmaster]

Wow, that goes back a few. I had a set and all my friends did too. I also had a cheesy knock-off of Lincoln Logs that had waxed wood blocks that stuck together and made it easier.

Jeez - Gitreel - I wasn't aware you were a fossil like me

[northcat_8]

I have some. I built my imaginary friend a house with them...we are putting a deck on the back of it this summer.

I used legos to build his car and some trees and things out of.

Sounds like the therapy is working

Yeah, somedays I feel like a fossil. Although you know you are old when kids have no idea who E.T. is

[awlchu]

oh yes, I remember them. My stupid *ucking dog use to chew them up if I left them out.

The new LLs are still made of wood but include plastic roofs and windows.


** Dog = Irish Setter <- that says it all

Hey now, you're same age as me...and I'm no old fossil :P


I'm younger than Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves and most of the Brat Pack

[888888]

Neither of you are old, you were just real poor kids.

[teegee420]

Bullshit. I had to use popsicle sticks.

[indolikaa]

Lincoln Logs kick ass!

I was regularly despised by other Lincoln-Loggers. I had two yellow chimneys.

You silverspoon bastards....popsicles?? I had to freeze Kool-Aid in the ice cube trays...if I wanted a "popsicle" I had wrap the tray in saran wrap and poke twigs in it for the stick.

[makntraks]

So just got back from lunch...


Nah... I ain't going there....

First of all, I had to buy a box of sticks for 99 cents! I didn't get popsicles either. Secondly, you had Kool-aid? I had to use food coloring and sugar!(kidding)

I did that too...but I also used the popsicle sticks (not always from my own....we used to pick those off the ground and collect 'em)


one of my younger brothers had the Lincoln Logs and both younger brothers had legos - I never got into stuff like that actually...I was more outdoorsy, either doing handstands or walking on both hands 14 feet off the ground on monkey bars...or climbing rooftops, fences, trees, walls...or doing flips on my bike 8)

Dude, I thought you were setting us up for a 'I had to walk 25 miles to the grocery store in 6' snow drifts during a hurricane just to steal a box of 99¢ popsicle sticks!' or something like that.

[gitreel]

you forgot uphill both ways while barefoot

[racer-x]

When I was a kid, we used to pick up the used popsicle sticks and assemble them together to make throwing stars. We would fling them and they would disindergrate when the hit something.

We also made throwing stars out of asphalt shingles and nails, but thats another story.

[indolikaa]

and pregnant. :P

[gitreel]

I heard that story 50 squintillion times from my parents while growing up.
