This week’s challenge for the League of Extraordinary Bloggers comes from the great white North, and the Canadian Cave of Cool. Cal wanted to know your favorite childhood movie, but I thought it would be fun to open up the topic slightly…

When I was a kid, my favorite _______ was _______.

Ok, so the typical response to this would be "movie", "Star Wars". Or it could be "toy", "Star Wars". Even going with "memory" I end up with "Star Wars". So I had to dig think long (but not too long) about this one. So here we go...

When I was a kid, my favorite non-Star Wars toy was The Green Machine.

Some of you might not remember this. Here's a little something to refresh your memory.

Yeah, this thing was BAD! It was AWESOME! I made all those other kids riding around on The Big Wheel feel inferior. I was drifting before Drifting was even a sport. I could brag about knowing how to drive stick shift (for the record, I really do know how to drive stick shift). The kids from the block were begging me to ride my Green Machine... wait, that doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean.

Yeah, I was cool.

Fortune and Glory (Days) seemed to have a normal childhood. Of course, "normal" is a relative term.
