Ghost of Xmas Wishlist Past

What was that one toy you really wanted as a kid but never got?

Christmas 1975 was a real bummer for Lil' Carl.

A thousand faces, all of them creepy or disfigured! Hugo will blend right in... to a burn unit.

I so wanted one of these and never got one either, but my friend Brian had one. Now I'm filled with questions. Why even have a body and arms? He's puppet with lips that don't move? What's up with the crazy eyes?

I asked for a Rudy the Robot every year for about 6 years. I think I received it like three times, but always managed to break them. He would walk into a wall and then this little wire shuttle would push through his body and engage the reverse gear. Then he'd back into something, and the hijinks would start over again. Oh Rudy.

This by far is the creepiest toy I have ever seen. (if someone has a creepier toy let me know).....

The best Christmas I had is when I got my Barbie camper. It was so fun, until that skanky bitch Donna Denardo down the block got the remote control Barbie corvette. It made by Barbie camper look like crap.

The worst year is when I got the below game, but it was broken and my parents never bothered to get it fixed.

If there's one thing kids love, it's broken games based on cool magazines like Readers Digest.

I was desperately trying to think of a similar joke like the above post.

grandpa! Is that you?

What's heaven like? I don't remeber you being so sarcastic, but maybe heaven has that effect.
