@yakkoTDI my bad.
If I did it was trying to delete the water wiggle thing which is further down. Because I tried to do a / YouTube and got something weird a few times and was trying to fix it
I thought I had replied here though because it was a similar banned/taken away toy.
@yakkoTDI this works. Not sure what I was doing last night. There may have been whiskey which can be risky. I think I was trying to get a john Oliver snippet about them killing people

Wham-O stated that the recall is occasioned by the death of a four-year-old child in March 1978. The youngster was playing with some other children in his backyard with a dismantled “Water Wiggle,” one from which the bell-shaped head had been removed or had come off. The exposed aluminum nozzle became lodged in his mouth and he drowned. Wham-O stated that it had no knowledge of how or why the toy was dismantled or how the nozzle became lodged in the child’s mouth.
A “Water Wiggle” was involved in a similar death of a three-year-old boy in 1975. Parents are advised not to allow their children to play with this product. Wham-O requests its retailers to remove all “Water Wiggles” from their shelves.
I mean any water with a 0-4 year old. Is kind of dangerous. You should have some sense.
I would like some lawn darts but I guess Cornhole is the replacement

But at no point is there going to be a group of boys, aged 10 to 12, standing around trying to see who can throw a bean bag the highest without regard to where it comes down.
@Kyeh No particular movie (or TV show), but it’s something of a trope that if you’re on a palatial estate, and the owner is playing chess with giant pieces (or people), you’ve just found the villain.
@chienfou@katbyter@Kyeh my only concern would be the height of the game. At 5’1" it is possible I would be challenged to insert my checkers in the slot

@steeltoesenator Meh could sell those if they could break up the chess board into squares small enough to ship. The chess pieces, though. Isn’t shipping 32 people cross-country in a box considered human trafficking?
@rockblossom@steeltoesenator More a case of massive ICC rules issues if they are being shipped voluntarily, and any number of things possibly including that one if they are unwilling or were deceived.
@werehatrack That could hinge on whether they were shipped with Pitney Bowes or overnighted with Fedex. It could also depend on how the buyer planned to unpack and store them on arrival. And how would meh handle any damage in transit - ship replacements or refund?
Itty-bitty games might be fun, too:
My father once made me a tiny portable chess set using a square cork coaster, marked off like a board, and a bunch of thumbtacks with little symbols of the pieces on them. I have it somewhere; it’s very cool!
YARD DARTS!!!

@unksol I remember seeing those snakes for sale at stores like Target or Wal-Mart.
@unksol Thanks for deleting your post. Now my reply looks dumb. Let me see if there is room in the trunk for you.

@unksol @yakkoTDI And “cornhole” is known as “beanbag tosd” in places where the other term has an NSFW meaning.
@werehatrack @yakkoTDI yes. Although even in Indiana Cornhole is acceptable. I wonder where it’s NSFW.
Makes for a joke now and then but. In context. it’s understood.
@unksol @werehatrack
But at no point is there going to be a group of boys, aged 10 to 12, standing around trying to see who can throw a bean bag the highest without regard to where it comes down.
@werehatrack @yakkoTDI well. Yes. And there was that forbidden boxes of darts in my grandpa’s shop. That I never met. That I would like to play with.
But 10-12 year old boys are stupid. If thrown in a forward direction you could clear that.
Throwing just straight up… I… It they hit themselves not good but idiots

@IndifferentDude i thought the purposr was to get very close to the other players.
@IndifferentDude I made a giant one from a 16’x20’ tarp
@hchavers @IndifferentDude maybe they want more players for their… Um… Party?
@IndifferentDude Rather than going larger, I prefer …
@IndifferentDude @rtjhnstn I hope we can do better than random.
I mean I know some guys dont process feedback. And some girls don’t give it. But. I hope that a minority
@IndifferentDude @rtjhnstn @unksol I know where the fingers go on red and yellow but where do blue and green go? And how come there isn’t a brown?
@IndifferentDude @rtjhnstn @yakkoTDI pretty sure you just need her to ask her. But again. Feedback loop.
Giant chess sets are very cool.
@Kyeh Don’t they mean you’re the villain of the movie?
@blaineg
I guess I didn’t see the movie…
@blaineg Unless you mean Through the Looking Glass? Which I read, didn’t see a movie …
@Kyeh No particular movie (or TV show), but it’s something of a trope that if you’re on a palatial estate, and the owner is playing chess with giant pieces (or people), you’ve just found the villain.
@blaineg Oh. I just don’t see a lot of shows, obviously!

@chienfou @katbyter @Kyeh why was I picturing much bigger, sigh

The Amazon one is bigger, but they show little kids playing it too.

I’ve always been partial to the giant chess sets with live people as the chess pieces.
@steeltoesenator Meh could sell those if they could break up the chess board into squares small enough to ship. The chess pieces, though. Isn’t shipping 32 people cross-country in a box considered human trafficking?
@rockblossom @steeltoesenator More a case of massive ICC rules issues if they are being shipped voluntarily, and any number of things possibly including that one if they are unwilling or were deceived.

@rockblossom @werehatrack
I was presuming the live bodies would be supplied by the user.
Itty-bitty games might be fun, too:
