I had that same building construction set. If only real buildings went together so logically and easily. It was a great way to learn diagonal bracing and about the difference between tension and compression in flexible materials. Do you remember what it was called?

 

[Bob Swenson]

MK.
No, It was more like pick up sticks.
An other toy kids never put away.

Bob nice shots, you know how to tell a story with them

 

[Per Swenson]

DD,

  Cherubic? Thanks, I find that sentiment charming.

However, I grew up in New Yorks equivalent of The East End, 

called Hells Kitchen, Then by accident of parental selection,

the only one in the hood with a unique name.

Defending the family honor was both sport and past time,

hence the look.

On another note, cute and nice may not reflect Americans in general,

but we sure do change our schtick, some 3 times a day.

Now Dear Readers, you may think I have some wonderful Father who took

all these great pictures out of some sense of paternity.

This assuredly is not the case.

Nope, they are all commercial shots, I was a childhood star, no thats not it,

famous early sixties print model, nope that ain't it either.

Oh yeah, indentured servant.

The shot above with the bread was captioned "you don't have to be Jewish to eat Levy's

Cool, now I know someone who's famous in their own lunchbox!!

 

[dirtydeeds]

per you looked  "well 'ard" being forced to eat crusty bread when you were a kid

with parents like that its no wonder youve turned out so bad 

 

[Michael Kellough]

Bob nice shots, you know how to tell a story with them

I meant to say this too but got distracted by the props.

Rings a bell with me. ;D

I too have shot my kids, for commercial purposes of course. (not literally)
Mostly toy adds, they get to keep the toys and something for the piggybank.

This abuse started at an age where they weren't even able to sit up by themselves, (my wife had to duck behind the table to keep em upright)
I am not proud of this but I hope someday they'll understand.

DD,

OH, no, I see we have another Swenson among us,  Hunter, welcome. We will try not to hold Per being your father against you.  ;D ;D

Hello all,

First post

Don't let my dad close the blinds on your eyes.

You think he is a nice guy?

I work for nothing. My only toys were scraps of wood.

And the only way I got those scraps was by cleaning the shop.

He is picking on my Grandpa here saying he had it tough.

Beat this, he makes me pay for gas in the company truck.

He says this is education.

Is this what he meant by indentured service?

At least I have girl friend and a social life.

Welcome Hunter,

Are you sure your talk'n bout the same Per?

How could a guy with a sweet little puppy named Sue be such a person as you describe?

Scott W.

 

[Hunter Swenson]

Hi Scott,

Nice to meet you,
hey we are taking about the same guy , my father,  he likes the puppy she's cute. But she doesn't make him money or drive him where he needs. Although at the end of "hard day on the job" she's the only one that makes him happy because i can't seem to be home  on time.

 

[Scott W.]

She is cute!

We have one also (black) although she's no puppy. She'll be 16 in a couple of months.

Bob nice shots, you know how to tell a story with them

I meant to say this too but got distracted by the props.

I was going to say it, too, but then read Per's sorrowful tale of childhood exploitation.  Rounding up my old friends from Amnesty International to stage a protest right after I log out of here tonight.

Regards,

John

Hmm, maybe get the guys and gals from Amnesty to stage a protest against Per after they finish the one against Bob.

At least I have girl friend and a social life.

Has he talked to you about having your girlfriend appear in his finish-carpentry videos, sorta like John Lucas's helpers?

Anyway, welcome to the forum.  Nice to see you inherited the humor gene from your dad's side of the family.

Regards,

John
