Now that's funny wasn't '' helter skelter'' a playground toy of some sort?

You can break your teeth on those things. Especially if there's a big bubba on the other end.

I know several people who've gotten hurt on those. I'm surprised they're not trying to ban them like they do everything else.
As for playground equipment called Helter Skelter, I can't say I remember that. It could be a regional thing though. I just know it as a song and book (about Charles Manson).

So do you know what a ''merry-go-round'' is?

I know what a merry-go-round is. In Scotland we call it the "Wheel of Death". ;D

Last post/question was to Mr N.
I read somewhere that the Beatles wrote that song about a playground ride, the lyrics do mention something along the lines of ''when you get to the bottom, you go back to the top again''.

''Wheel of Death'' sounds appropriate, when I was a kid, people would crack their heads after falling off those things. They didn't put any wood chips or rubber mats under them like they do now.

Well, now you've got me curious. Though I'm not sure about the whole playground thing.
Wheel Of Death, that's funny. I can't do merry-go-rounds anymore, anything that spins is bad. I start feeling sick and it won't go away for hours.

Hmm. Well that was just a joke. ;D We call them merry-go-rounds. Or roundabouts or hobby horses depending on the exact size and style.

Well, you had me going. I thought you were serious about the wheel of death thing.

I was skeptical about the Wheel of Death thing being serious. I did find it funny though.

Thanks, but, to be fair, it wasn't that funny.

We all have our gullible moments.
Take Mr. Nasty for instance. He's gullible enough to believe Jasmine had good intentions. ;D *I just couldn't resist*
