The co-founder of Slinky died Thurs. How many of you had a Slinky? I didn't like the plastic ones that came out, I think it was in the 80's?! And I remember if you didn't pick up the metal one correctly, you'd get a pinch!

Yeah, that tinny metal-smelling Slinky.

Did the co-founder crawl down the stairs the way a Slinky would? [Smile]

Naah - they just put him by the side of the grave and gave him a little nudge.... [Big Grin]
