HEY GIRLS... ITS BIG TRACK !!!!

BIG TRACK = LOTS OF HOT CHICKS
In the 80's you had a few choices. If you played with action figures that meant that you
were a homosexual.... seriously. If you played with a ten speed and ...... BIG TRACK.. that meant
that you scored ALL THE CHICKS......

RIIIIIIIIIIGHT.

Course if you wanted to be REALLY COOL you would bitch slap the principal in the
lunch room like our colleague and criminal.... Jeff Simpson. And to put it another way
if you wanted to be THE KING OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD then you had to risk jail time,
felonies, and grand larceny.

Seriously.

the Horrors of Flood Junior High
This is a very tall order to fulfill when you are 12. Still in our neighborhood we had young
men and women aspiring to great heights of ... er um... greatness. It was scary going to Junior High back in the day. Oh sure, we didn't have guns back then in our schools but you sure
could get knifed up pretty good like a slab of apple wood smoked bacon.

But I'm getting WAY off course here. Simply said, Junior High in Stratford Connecticut was a lot like the county lock up. The food was on par to boot. Scary shit.

THE BIG QUESTION IS......

DID THE CHICKS... REALLY get impressed with Milton Bradleys Big Track? Unlike my 13 year old counterparts opinion I beg to differ. My guess was they probobly did not.

Get impressed that is. This toy in my opinion sucked balls. Due to the simple fact that it had no doors or action figures to go with it. The windows were painted on in the form of a decal. This was kind of a weird toy. Notice that the kid playing with it has to interact with a dog of all things and a bored father who is trying to read the paper on his day off. That is the level of ACTION you get with this toy. FOr added charm you had to lay your action figures on top of the BIG TRACK and pretend that they somehow could coexist in a doorless and windowless society.

Milton Bradley never did come out with anything to go with this toy. You had to supply your own dog and ... bored dad to partake in the great BIG TRACK experience. This toy offered little emotional comfort back in the day. It hardly took your mind off the mindless monsters that clogged up our public school system waiting to cave our young heads in.

I never got my ass kicked up and down the block ..THANK GOD. Nor was I shot or stabbed while I attended public school.

But this toy offered little escapism as the 80's began. It brought very little peace of mind. But most of all.... The thing that i remember most about this toy was that it sucked.. BIG TIME.
