I rummaged through my stuffs cupboard this morning and I pulled this little baggy out. Yes they are my goonies from when I was a wee child. Do you guys remember goonies? I remember busting up many illegal gatherings of small marbles on playgrounds back in the day. These things got carried around all day till the time was right for an attack. Oh what fun I had. I also remember being obsessed with the speckled one and dead sure that the dark blue one was my strongest marble hahaa. I can just picture mini me strategising with these buggers, I bet you I spoke to them too, whilst I worked out my plan of action.
Do you guys still have your marbles? And i’m not talking about your mindgrapes.
lol! mindgrapes!
I had speckled one exactly like that! Those things were darn expensive (according to my mum), I held onto them with my life! My strategy was DONT play your goonies!
Listen. Noah would kill bunnies for those. Just saying.
Holy smokes, a speckaldy and milkies! You are RICH in marble terms. Do you remember the iron ones? They’d steal the show every time!
whaaat? i had ones with power-rangers on them
Aaaaah good times!!! I was a milkie queen….our school banned marbles when a bright spark boy decided to drop his metal goonies from the second floor…it almost landed on a kid’s head….adios marbles:( good times, thanks for some good friday memorylane-ing….:)
xx
I think I carried mine around in a moonbag, cringe!
What a trip down freakin’ memory lane! I had a lovely see-through, pink gooney with bits of gold, REAL GOLD, in it.
I lie, it was just glitter, but to me it was worth real gold.
Those iron/smelly metal one where pulled out once you were competing against a boy. Yeah, suckers, you get dem balls of steel!
Oh the 90’s! Where marbles wasn’t just an iphone app.
Love this little trip down memory lane.
I had the same blue one and a steel one which were marble GOLD.
p.s. for some reason since you changed your layout, my browser goes in freak out mode for a few minutes when I open your blog (everything slows down and nothing works). maybe it’s just my internet but it doesn’t happen anywhere else.. no worries though
Wow! Memories! I once won one from a girl who said that inside that awesome, orangey ,marvellous marble was real moon dust… Looking back now, i’m not so sure i believe her! haha
hahaha mindgrapes…that killed me!! my favorite was the “spagetti ones —–> http://www.houseofmarbles.com/images/products/thumbs/106400.jpg
Simply marvelous………………………………. love the colours!
Ah man! Such memories. Those ironies though…Flip you’d be cruising on a nice run and then some oaf (Always the kid who’d failed three times and was like thirteen ) would come along and kill everyone with his planet sized ironie. My favourite were these pitch black ones with specks of red, orange and yellow.
