Epic Win: Fisher Price Parking Garage

Jan. 5, 2009

Once Upon A Win

Submitted by katsak

Fisher Price made some serious toys of win back in the day. The mooing barn was awesome, as was the bubble mower. But the parking garage ruled them all! Car goes up, car comes down…. good times!

Check out what the parking garage is going for on ebay right now. Hope you hung on to yours!

Epic Wins: Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots

Dec. 31, 2008

Once Upon A Win

Submitted by M Stetz

If every office worker in the world had one of these toys at their desks, there would be no need for movies like “Office Space” or cartoons like “Dilbert.” Every inter-office dispute could be settled by a rousing round of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots! “Take that, Bob in accounting! My expense report was too accurate!” “Hey, Peg in Sales! Stop hassling me about my TPS Reports!”

Heck, every conflict should be resolved this way:

Or should all fights be resolved with a dance-off? Tell me below.

Epic Win: “Spaceballs”

Dec. 30, 2008

Once Upon A Win

Submitted by C Rother

I love this movie. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Star Wars series too, but seeing the franchise get the Mel Brooks treatment is awesome (if any of you young whippersnappers don’t know Brooks’ work, get these on your Netflix queue: “Young Frankenstein” and “Blazing Saddles.” You’re welcome.). George Lucas apparently thought so as well, since he gave his approval to the script. Maybe Mr. Lucas should have hired him to write “Revenge of the Sith.” Just sayin’.

“Spaceballs” has so many great moments it’s hard to pick a favorite, but I’m going to. LUDICROUS SPEED AHEAD!!!

“What’s the matter, Colonel Sanders, chicken?” That line never gets old.
