I seesaw a turtle.

Lonley?

What no Chewbacca?

Who cares....I say we bring back lawn darts!

Nothing like a little outdoor self play ...

Who's asking for this?

For everyone over 4', a see-saw is solo-operable

Needs a Sybian attachment.

Approves.

Bring me a seesaw and let's play hooky.

I was always under the impression that seesaws, bouncy horses and playground toys of that ilk were merely an introduction to masturbation.

I don't like seesaws anyway. One time when I was a kid, I got off at the wrong time and the kid on the opposite side got scratched all the way down her side. I felt bad. What's more is I'm a nervous giggler, so I'm running over to her scared for her and giggling. It was not a pleasant experience.

"What hast thou done with thy days? Bethink thee, Man, that alone,
Thou of all sentient things, hast learned to grieve in thy joy, hast earned thee the malison
Of going sad without cause of pain, a weeper and woe-begone."

- 'The Wisdom of Merlin' by Wilfred Scawen Blunt (1914)

What did I see?.

Does not approve.

My grandma still has 3 sets of lawn darts. My brother, cousins and I usually bust them out on Thanksgiving, Christmas, Independence Day, etc. Basically whenever we're all together.

If you're really going to invent something like this because of bullying, can't you just implement a system into regular see-saws that prevents bullies from doing this?

Riding a see-saw by yourself seems pretty damn depressing. Isn't one of the underlying principles of the see-saw the concept of cooperation?

Listen, a kid who wants to play AND doesn't have to argue with another kid about WHAT to play ought to have better ideas than a see-saw.

That said, buying a see-saw is retarded. My brother and I used a farking saw horse and a 4x4. Sometimes, if we were desperate, we'd use a 2x4.

And, yes, we did this without helmets and elbow pads. We marched our little asses right into the shed, dragged that shiat out and got to bouncin'. And, get this, we never got punished for it because WE WERE KIDS NOT CHINA DOLLS.

When we wanted to Slip N Slide, we went to said shed, got a tarp and busted out the garden hose. When we felt really crazy, we also went into the kitchen and got the dish soap.

Parents today suck.

Did anyone else notice that the comments on the article were mostly spam for online meds?

How is that an effective marketing technique?

Don't forget the first time you thought how awesome it would be to set up the slip and slide on the CONCRETE driveway because of the perfect slope only to wake up in the ER getting your head stitched up and both of your parents calling you a dumbass. Then you still had to clean off the driveway when you got home.

Very nice, #2. Malison isn't a word one comes across often - benison, perhaps once in a while, but malison is a real rarity.

I rather like the poems. Are you a bot, perchance?

Don't forget about the time that you left the pair of scissors that you used to cut said tarp, underneath of it.

You know the rest.

We never tried that because we spent way more time in our back yard, but I'll have to tell his kids to give that a go.

One time we made our slip n slide and I took the first go. I was about 60 pounds at the time. My brother, who was about 120 pounds, went after me. He slid right over what turned out to be a rusty wrench that was sort of under the grass and had apparently been there for decades. That did result in a trip to the ER but as soon as his stitches were out, we were back at it.

I forgot to mention how we had dad cut us a couple of 2'x2' plywood, which we then used as skinboards all summer. We always loved it when it rained a lot and as soon as it blew over, we would run out and grab our boards.

One time I jumped on my board toward the concrete block house. (I wasn't very bright.) They say I was out for a good 5 minutes.

I was back on my ghetto skin board the next day.

a one person see-saw.... isn't that just a saw?

/Icy Hot

Oh, and when we asked dad to make our 2x2 boards, he asked why. We told him and he laughed. And then he made us help with the sawing.

... WTF? Well, at least you don't have to compete with a machine that goes faster than a human.

I totally did this though. This was the win. No concrete, scissors or other weird shiat. Just the tarp water and dish soap.

FTFA: because the seesaw operates on the principle of counterbalancing weights, injury can result if a rider suddenly falls or jumps off the seesaw while the opposing rider is high in the air, particularly if one rider is substantially heavier than the other. In this scenario, the opposing rider is sent crashing to the ground and the sudden impact may jar a child's joints or cause spine or tailbone injuries.


Isn't this the whole point of a seesaw?

Kids today are missing out. That shiat was awesome.

I know what my gift to the local strip club is.

So what? The pully will still pull the head off of your Evil Knievel action figure and throw him in the river while your playing with it and the Stunt Cycle.

No, it's to do the seesaw bit for about 5 minutes, then try to do the Wile E. Coyote springboard effect for the next three hours with cinderblocks, bricks and field stones, only to discover you can't convince your little sister to sit on the other end after the first couple of times she fell off and skinned her elbows and knees; and then you give up and go slide down the hill on cardboard boxes.

It's only stupid if you're not narcissistic

Half a seesaw is just a "see".

Yeah, I tell ya. I saw an ad for this in a gentlemen's magazine. Twelve hundred bucks. I'm lookin' at this thing and I think, 'You gotta be kiddin' me.' I'm a hobbyist. Thing's basically nothing but speed rails. I figure I'd go down to Home Depot and whip this up myself for... a hundred bucks. Hundred bucks, all in - not counting my labor, and the... cost of the dildo. Those things aren't cheap.
