: Hey Harry! I remember all this very well. Some years ago, I drew a skelly court for my older son (who is now 20) and some of his friends. Melted creyons into bottle tops. Explained the game (as they looked at me as if I had 3 heads)... got them started... they lasted maybe 15 minutes and went to the video games. I guess the kids today don't have the imagination we had. Bring back the punchball, slapball, kick the can days anytime.
: : LOL..kids these days *G*..i remember skelley well
: : buying lead fishing sinkers and melting them in a pan in the kitchen to pour into a bottle cap.
: : Remember that Coca-Cola bottling factory all the way down on Linden Blvd..you could find caps around it that had never been used so they had never been "pried off"..they were the best.
: : I remember melting crayons into them..and the double-corkers (with a thin layer of aluminum foil in between the layers)
