Posted February 02, 2013
Long before computer games the elders among us had to find ways to entertain ourselves without the high tech magic that so many of you youngins take for granted. Most of these ways totally sucked, I can't lie, but every once in a while came along a creation that would forever trascend all that came before and all that was to come after. I just found out that today we lost the creator of one such creation, and I would like to take a monent to bow heads to pause in fond memory of this man who forever made the world a brighter, better, and much more easily erasable place to live.

Can you play angry birds on it though? Eh? Eh?

It's a real testament to these things that they can still be bought today. Things like this are exactly what young kids should be amusing themselves with.

When I was a kid, we had to etch our own sketches on stone with a hammer and chisel and we liked it too!

I forgot to mention the stone was interior walls of pyramids.

I could do this all night.
I forgot to mention how hard it was painting on the inside of the cave because the walls weren't solid because the Earth hadn't finished cooling yet.

I'm spent.
