When you're slower than all your friends, but make up for it with your style:

[sl8]

[pnwest]

1. Boing boing boing boing...

Frickin adorable doggo

[FM123]

2. And such style it is!

[magicarpet]

3. The last one was like watching ,...

..... a Slinky go down a flight of stairs.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. And pre-cell phone games/giant slinkys

(sorry )

[VWolf]

5. Great! Now I've got to live with that earworm all day

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Sorry

I had that earworm drilling through my skull after I saw the giant slinky video and spontaneously started singing the song before I found the old commercial.

8. Echoing in the recesses and cavities of your mind...

.... through out the long day.

9. Years ago I decided to see what it was like to go down the stairs like my dog. I was

2/3 the way down when 1 of my roommates came home. He looked up and said “What the hell are you doing?”

Me: I wanted to see what it was like when my dog came down the stairs, she does it so fast!
R: And?
Me: It’s really scary!

R shakes his head and walks away.

Everybody’s got to do that once…. When you can, lol!

11. We used to do it

but on a pillow! Head first. Basically sledding on down the steps.

26. We used to slide down the banister.

Had to be careful at the end because the post at the bottom had a square top with sharp corners.

[BumRushDaShow]

27. The bannister slide was a given!

Luckily the bottom portion was a flat scroll, but you had to make sure you controlled the descent or end up flying off at the bottom.

10. Well,

It's better than the "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer weiner, that is what I'd really like to be" jingle I suffered through last week.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. LOL

at least they had this variation -

[rubbersole]

14. Just what I need.

That was pretty sadistic, BumRushDaShow! B-A-L-O-G.....

[BumRushDaShow]

15. ...

Had to... Couldn't pass that up.

(talk about perfect "marketing" and I have some of their turkey b-o-l-o-g-n-a in the fridge right now )

[rubbersole]

16. I doubt that anybody remembers "Gaylord" the plastic beagle.

I was fixated on him until we got a dog..."Gaylord, Gaylord, acts kinda crazy, looks kinda lazy, pull on his leash and he'll walkity, walkity walk with you!" My therapist thinks this...

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Now I just lost a brain file

25. Thanks sl8!

I don't remember him being so damn creepy....might explain a lot.

[BumRushDaShow]

28. LOL

you didn't need a "bark" because just walking was so loud, you couldn't miss him.

Ideal made so many classic toys including introducing kids to what was a Rube Goldberg device!

[VWolf]

19. Damn you, Bum! Damn you to hell!!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

20. I'm sorry

ETA -

[rubbersole]

21. That was wonderful!

Thanks, BRDS!

[BumRushDaShow]

22. I thought that was cool too!

[Tadpole Raisin]

18. Thanks a lot! It's going to take all day to get that jingle out of my head.

But it is so old why did you suffer through it last week?
Watching old TV shows on YouTube?

[rubbersole]

23. It's so old...

...because I'm so old! Stuff gets stuck there more than I like to admit. Last month "Tiptoe through the Tulips" spent an afternoon haunting my happy ass. No explanation.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. One of Dr. Demento's oft-played song

[IronLionZion]

6. My furry niece is like that

she bounds up stairs quickly but goes down gingerly with a big of a wiggle side to side.

[liberalla]

12. Sweet!
