Pickles by Brian Crane for July 19, 2022

We all grow old. Nobody said we also have to grow up.

80% of internet facts are wrong. Remember, you read that right here on the internet!

Toys have made such advancements, why not enjoy this technology. When done, pass them on to the grandkids.

I bought an Ant Farm, but my mom threw it out.

George Burns said it years ago – “We all grow older, but no one has to grow old!”. He died right around 100 years young.

Well, he still remembers the right sound effect.

Play time knows no age limit ;-)

Earl is starting to remind me of Mr. Carlson from WKRP In Cincinatti.

Earl makes the same noise driving his Studebaker!

…says the woman wearing bunny slippers.

Even old people can use a radio control car!

No Roscoe , but the Buckles cartoon is just " precious " : )

If they were still in business, we could be saying that Earl is a “Toys ’R Us” kid!

My 15 year old grandson was visiting for a week, in which we spent countless hours in WWII battles with my collection of 1/48 scale aircraft and die cast tanks.

I’m not going to argue with anyone who can make R/C vehicle do a wheelie!

I once bought myself a R/C boat to buzz around my swimming pool.

Have to try it out to make sure it is appropriate for the younger generation, but wait it is technically electronical so the kid may play with it for a minute.

IIRC men in their 50s spend more on clothes than any other demographic. Probably not for themselves.

As the saying goes…. The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

You can always tell a man from a boy…by the price of his toys…..

“Toys R Us” is BACK! YAY!

Why shouldn’t we elderly play with modern toys? They didn’t have such great toys when we were kids.

“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” – George Bernard Shaw

She’s holding one of the more expensive “toys”.

I am in my mid 80’s and I have one of those remote cars. I race it with my grandson. I don’t plan to ever grow up.

Opal walks on bunnies. I think Earl has earned playing with kids toys. Beyond the excitement I don’t believe he is likely to keel over. They probably help him to remain sane. Also, his toys never plot arguments.

Atta boy Earl!

Right on.

Opal, if you collected toys and they were all Beanie Babies, I think that in your case, zero percent would be a safe estimate.

In the ‘80s, my wife (RIP) set her grandkids equality number at $500 each. Imagine what that is in today’s numbers. Holy crap! In the ’60s, one of our kids got a motorized truck that turned around upon hitting something and kept on going. So, I put it in the slot between the stove and refrigerator before bedtime - next morning, it was still there and bouncing, kind of like the gender joke of parallel parking.

i HATE being the same age as old people!!!

Toy R’ Us is coming back to every Macy’s. https://www.macys.com/s/toys-r-us/

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

Because Grandpa’s have to play with the toy too. That is odd my dad did not play with toy’s, yet he loved to tinker with cars.

Probably about 1%

and what percentage of Grandma’s account for all the bunny slippers sold?

I still think my dad bought me Lionel trains because he never had anything like that when he was a kid.
