total awesomeness
One year, for chistmas, I hit the fucking jackpot! Under the tree were Lincoln Logs, Smash-up Derby cars, and the ultimate, the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle! Holy shit, I was like a kid at christmas that day! I would build a house out of the Lincoln Logs, set up the ramps from the Smash-up Derby cars, and jump Evel Knievel over the house! HOLY CRAP, that was awesome, that’s what being a kid is all about!
Now I’m almost 40 and I don’t feel like much more than a teenager still albeit one with a bit more of a sophisticated taste in alcohols. So imagine my wonderment and elation when I found the Stunt Cycle online today. In fact, just read what Evel Knievel himself had to say about the damn thing!
“Next year the Ideal Toy Company is going to make a lot of Evel Knievel toys. … One toy I’d like them to make is my own idea; I think it’s the most super toy in the world. You wind it up, it goes like a little bugger, goes across the floor, grabs this little Barbie doll, throws her on the floor, gives her a little lovin’, jumps back on the motorcycle and goes whizzing out the door screaming, ‘G.I. Joe is a faggot!’ ” – Evel Knievel
Wow, people don’t exactly talk like that anymore, do they?
