The Guns of Navarone

mountain is a solid choice. My brothers and I would set it up and then use our BB guns to go through the attack. This happened many, many times.

HOWEVER, my favorite was the “Stompers” trucks. My brothers and I wore the shite out of those little 4 wheel drive battery operated trucks.



We would dig little tracks in the back acre of our yard that (the trucks couldn’t climb out of) and race them until the batteries were dead. The downside was that digging and maintaining the track took hours. Not to mention that every allowance for quite some time went to batteries.

Great times though.

I got a lot of awesome Christmas gifts over the years. But my top memory was getting my N64. Christmas of 96 so I was 9.

I did get a BB gun one time and literally almost shot my eye out. Shot a frozen tree (lived in Michigan) and that thing came right back at me and hit me in the forehead

I had that Navarone play set.

So awesome.

The next year Santa got me the Death Star play set and that was really cool too.

I got this for Christmas 40 years ago and I still remember how excited I was when I opened it. That particular Christmas I got a ton of Star Wars toys. But this was my favorite hands down.

I think the year was 1977 but I'll never forget walking outside that Christmas morning and seeing that Kawasaki KZ-125 on the carport. I was one happy little fricker

Mid-70s, I got the complete action figure sets of both OG Star Trek and Planet of the Apes. That was an unbelievable Christmas.

The year before I got my unforgettable Star Trek & Planet of the Apes sets, I also got Evel and the 6 Million Dollar Man. They were much different sizes, so it was hard to play with them together, except for the times when I made the Bionic Man a lumbering giant.

Tickets to the 2000 Peach Bowl.

It was my first year going to all of the home games (that I can remember). We rushed the field for Tennessee, Mississippi State, and Alabama, and it felt like we were going to the Bourbon Bowl with Nick after suffering through '98 and '99. I vividly remember being told that we couldn't get tickets to the bowl game and waking up Christmas morning to find them on the tree. Best present to this day.

Peach Bowl/SECCG fan experience in the early 00s was unmatched.

When I was 5 we (me and my 2 brothers) got a mix breed (half samoyed and half cocker spaniel) dog. She really became my dog for my entire childhood. I even took her with me when I moved out and went to LSU.
