Epic Win: Highlights for Children

Aug. 5, 2009

Once Upon A Win

Submitted by Eric M

I never had a subscription to Highlights, but I did get to read it at the dentist’s office, making it the only good part of visiting the dentist. Anyway, Highlights was super popular and featured great stories (and mediocre jokes) every month.

Anybody remember Goofus and Gallant?

Epic Win: Collapsing Wooden Toys

Jul. 26, 2009

Collapsible-Toy

Submitted and Written by Rachael G

Who didn’t love these? The best part was figuring out how to make them dance and completely collapse. These seem to be pretty hard to find. I found some at a drug store recently but they aren’t very responsive and don’t dance or collapse. :(

Epic Win: Boy Meets World

Jul. 17, 2009

Submitted by Lisa A

Boy Meets World’s seven-season run was classic from beginning to end. Cory Matthews represented the awkward adolescent in all of us, and Mr. Feeney represented the weird teacher that stalked us from middle school through college.

But seriously, is Topanga even a real name?

Epic Win: Wall Ball

Jul. 14, 2009

Submitted by WerewolfCyote

Apparently, after checking the Wikipedia article, we discovered that there are a lot of different ways to play Wall Ball. Some people have no bounce rules and some have rules that you must bounce before it hits the wall. Reading comments on the above YouTube reveal that it seems to change from school to school and there’s a lot of contention over who’s game is the purest. We don’t care if you played a classic set of rules or you had a crazy home-court set, we want you to post them below so we can try them out. Our spankin’ new red rubber ball just came in the mail and want to try them all out.

Epic Win: The Mouse and the Motorcycle

Jul. 9, 2009

Mouse-Motorcycle

Submitted by Alain C

Beverly Cleary’s The Mouse and the Motorcycle captivated us as children, not only because it was about a talking mouse that rode a motorcycle, but also because of the spirit of adventure, humor, and morality that it exposed us to.
