Did you have a favorite toy when you where a kid?  A toy you had to take ever where.  I had a stuffed Ernie and I took him all over the place until one day I dropped him and thought that he got hurt so I never took him out again.  I even put a bandage in him to make sure he was okay.  That bandage stayed on him for close to 30 years before I took it off.  Yup, I still have my Ernie.  My daughter has one too that is exactly the same.  I need to get my son one now too but it’s hard to find.  Or maybe a Bert stuffie.

So what was you favorite childhood toy and do you still have it?

I just got done playing a game of Trivial Pursuit 90’s edition.  My team won ^_^

Playing reminded me that I love board games too and not just video game ones.  I loved playing Life as a kid and my Pac Man board game, but my top favorite one was Clue.  Man, I could play that for hours.  One game that I never got to play was “Scotland Yard”.  I remember seeing commercials for it as a kid but never got it or even seen it in stores now that I think about it.  Other that I owned was this collection of mini travel games called Flipsiders.  They where awesome!  I had a racing one, a rock tour one, a mall madness one, plus lots more.  Ahhh, great memories with those ones.  I still have them actually.  I should break them out and play them with my daughter.

Do you have any favorite board games?
