amenditman Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Bob (Amenditman), do you remember what I'm talking about here? Are you trying to say that I am in the same age bracket as you are? I'm shocked and offended! That picture, where did you get it. I thought I had destroyed all copies in existence. MOM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Well, to be fair... you are a wee bit younger than I... a very wee bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 We US kids were not as inventive as the British or Irish. "We US kids were not as warlike as the British or Irish." The object of the contest is to smash the opponents conker to bits and eventually all the conkers of the local players. Thereby becoming the conquering king for the season.

securitybreach Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 That's funny. It reminded me of a toy in the U.S. back in the 60s that was banned at my school, too. They were called "knockers". There were two hardened plastic, colorful balls suspeded from two equal length strings and tied to a ring that you put on your finger. You were supposed to move your hand rapidly up and down and the balls would bounce of one another at the top and bottom of their rotations. Banned? I had those when I was a kid back in the 80s. Yeah, I know... I am a young whippersnapper compared to you old fogies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Banned at my school, I said. It was a Catholic school. No one is allowed to have fun in a Catholic school. I think it's a sin of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temmu Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 knockers? i remember those from somewhere... what was her name? as to clackers, i too think they were banned because most were too uncoordinated to prevent one from clackerizing one's self, with the summary trip to the clinic...

Guest LilBambi Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Played w/clackers when I was a kid. Hours of fun. Many a bruised finger but never broke anything or hurt anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolanaj Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Well they have made it into the Banned Toy Museum. They have a version of clackers offered at carnivals, somehow not the same though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 I was scheduled, along w/ my other classmate who also passed the first exam, to take ICND2 on the 30th of April. However, due to the fact that neither of us has had our noses to the grindstone much at all this past few weeks of joyous and beautiful Springtime here in Florida, we are not sufficiently prepared to take the examination. We are both rescheduling for the end of May, probably the 28th for me. So, beat me, whip me, badger away. You'll have a whole 'nother month to nag now. Thanks, folks! We'll get 'er done. Don't worry.
