1. What did you purchase as an adult because you could never have it as a child?
Legos. My parents never ponied up for Legos.
2. What was your favorite toy as a child?
Gi Joe . I had his rescue jet and lots of accessories.
3. What was the first video game you played?
I am of the olds. “Pong” on the original Pong player on a black and white Magnavox TV.
4. As a child, what was your favorite breakfast cereal?
Toss up between Cap’n Crunch with Crunch Berries or Lucky Charms – they’re magically delicious.
5. What is your best, most beloved childhood memory?
I took many camping trips to local reservoirs with my cousins and running around unsupervised in the woods.
1) Game consoles. As a kid I had to enjoy Atari video games at friends’ houses because my parents hated me, clearly. AS an adult I always have the latest and greatest and usually multiple formats (XBox, Nintendo, etc.)
2) Matchbox cars and those bright orange tracks you put together in all sorts of configurations with loops and such.
3) Yep, Pong. I am the original vidiot.
4) We didn’t get many sweetened cereals provided, so probably Cheerios.
5) I grew up at the foot of Red Rocks, Mt. Falon and Mt. Morrison, so I spent my childhood roaming the mountains, Red Rocks, creeks and an lakes around Morrison.
1) Sugar cereals, as a child the cereals my parents would buy looked and tasted like they were something fed through a chipper.
2) my bmx bike, I rode that thing everywhere and no slight incline was ever avoided as they were all “jumps”.
3) “video game” my first was on the computer in the school library, the Oregon trail. First as we think of them now was probably Ataris combat.
4) see answer #1 but at friends houses big fan of lucky charms or fruity pebbles
5) building “forts” in the trees or woods near our house. They were absolute crap shacks but we loved them?
