A stick?  Really?  OK, I get it.  We all at some point in our childhood picked up a stick and played with it.  Maybe we pretended it was a laser gun or a sword.  Maybe we used it to draw our name in wet sand or poke a dead animal.  I could maybe see a stick being in the National Tool Hall of Fame, if there was such a thing.  But putting a stick in the Toy Hall of Fame is kind of like putting a cardboard box in the Toy Hall of Fame.

Umm....waitaminute.  Are you kidding me?

*groan*  

Maybe I should try my hand at one of these Hall of Fame thingies.  I can call mine the World Toy Hall of Fame (cause obviously it sounds so much cooler than National Toy Hall of Fame).  Let's see.  I had fun playing with a bar of soap in the bathtub as a kid so soap is the first one nominated.  I liked to play with rocks too.  They were so much more fun than sticks in my opinion.  That's two down.  How about water?  Or bird feathers?  PAPER!!!  That's it....paper!  You can use paper to make airplanes, boats, hats, origami animals, more hats.  Awesome!  

Seriously though.  How is it that Lite-Brite, plastic army men, Transformers, and Stretch Armstrong arent in the Hall of Fame?  Oh, and the Big Wheel may have come first but the Green Machine was a thousand times cooler.
