The decline of the Happy Meal

[Ranger REG]

depends on why and what will happen to the said toy.......

Can't be good either way, unless you're not big on enforcing gender identity.

If it has to be enforced, it's not much of an identity, is it?

Just as a thought.... have any of you used happy meal toys in your various games?


I have used a car for a Carwars arena game and some sorta dragon for an altar.

You can still do that with a CD! It's like how colonial kids used to roll hoops for fun! Use a straw and see how long you can keep the CD rolling!

Never woulda thought of this one. :\

Or you can throw it like a frisbee!

Now THIS I have tried. A complete failure. Course, I just might be a rotten frisbee thrower.

Or you can be like my sister and get out some energy by standing on boxes and chairs as you attach worthless CDs to your wall. She had plenty of AOL CDs and things people failed to burn properly all over her wall. It looked like a modern record store.

THIS is an interesting idea. I used to drive by a house fairly regularly and the owners had tacked up old vinyl records in wavey patterns of their fence outside the house and facing the road. Maybe with the cd's could make some sort of weird art deco thing.

Just a guess, but "But Please Don't Hit Me With The Ban (Big?) Stick".

Figures you would know. :\

After all, yesterday you were thwacking me over the head with a stick!

Hmm ... favored weapon: club?

I just have a natural affinity for big sticks, I guess.

Weapon Focus (10-ft pole)!

Obvious hint that you are an old school gamer my good madam!

It helps if you use a heat gun.

I agree. My daughter likes cars and trucks as much as she loves dollies. Sometimes the one genders toy sucks and the other one is cool...

Uhm... sometimes?

IMHO boys tend to have a lot better children's toys. While it is not the only thing in the girl's toy isle, "Doll in pink box" seems to have the majority rule.

Stopped buying Happy Meals before I got into RPG hobby.
