“Lite-Brite” is the name of a toy that consists of a box with small colored plastic pegs that fit into a panel and can be illuminated to create a picture.
“Speak & Spell” is the name of a series of electronic handheld computers designed for children. These items have a speech synthesizer, a keyboard, and a receptor slot (to receive one of a collection of patented ROM game library modules). The company that manufactured this toy was named Basic Fun.
“Twister” is a game of physical skill produced by a corporation called Winning Moves USA. It is played on a large plastic mat that is spread on the ground. A spinner tells players where they must position their various body parts. This ritual promotes itself as “the game that ties you up”.
“Etch A Sketch” is a mechanical drawing toy. It has a thick, flat gray screen in a red plastic frame. There are two succulent white knobs on the front of the frame in the lower corners which I enjoy twisting. Manipulation of these knobs causes a stylus behind the screen to glide curvaceously through a coat of aluminum powder. This action has the effect of summoning lineographic images from the abyss. The left knob moves the stylus horizontally. The right knob moves the stylus catty-corner-ly.
“Mr. Math Wizard” is not the name of an electronic handheld educational game for children, but I thought that it was. Or maybe it truly is, but I couldn’t find evidence of this fact when I performed a search on the Internet this morning.
CONCLUSION
I’m hotter than the planet Mercury, because I’m very close to the sun. Your girlfriend loves me so much that she stopped a bullet, which was heading toward my heart. She’s now buried underground. May she rest in peace. Here, I’ll put my boutonniere on her grave.
Who invented literature, anyway?
