I have a framed Playboy magazine from my birth month and year; and one from the Pretty Thing's birth month and year.

The differences are interesting.

Also, did everyone else look for the bunny hidden in the cover picture/artwork?

Good times.

Cover picture?

 

[Jammer]

Hot Wheels just came out and I got em for my bday in 1968.

 

[mean dad]

Cover picture?

The cover of Playboy magazine had a bunny hidden somewhere in the artwork. Possibly in the model's hair, hidden as part of the lingerie pattern, surreptitious shadows, etc.

That and the articles were the only reason I got the magazine, you know.

 

[Climber]

Mad Magazine.

Here's a few...

• Sonic booms.
• Above-ground nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site (NTS).
• AM car radios with two Civil Defense symbols on the dial at 640 and 1240 kHz. Those were the frequencies used by the FCC's Conelrad System (Control of
  Electromagnetic Radiation). It was the emergency radio broadcasting system in the event of enemy attack by the Russkies during the Cold War of the late '50's and early '60's.
• Yoyo's (Walking the Dog, Around the World, Rocking the Cradle, etc)
• Marbles (Aggies, Keepies, Shooter, The Ring, Bombers, Cat's Eye, Kunckle Down)
• Big Hunk candy bars. Put 'em in the freezer for about 10 minutes, take 'em out and smack 'em on the table to break them into smaller chunks.)

I was in the checkout line in harbor freight yesterday and saw this little diddy.

Had to pick it up for the youngest to explore...

I was a little disappointed it wasn't a wrist rocket

We would pick plums when they green and shoot them from the wrist rocket…..
They would fly perfectly and splatter wind shields without breaking them.
Geez we should have invented paint balls
The modern day equivalent is using ice cubes. What do you get hit by? I don’t know. It was hard. Ice melts no evidence.
Geez I’m bad….
