July 11th, 2017: Playgrounds
Looked at American playgrounds lately? Have you noticed they don’t look like you remember from your youth?
Did you notice the kids don’t have many bandages, missing teeth, arm slings, or hurt feelings? A very expensive revolution in our playgrounds has demanded soft surfaces, rounded edges, low heights, and no taunting, ridiculing, or insulting. Yo mama is hardly ever heard. Not so in Japan. They believe in durable concrete which just gets a coat of paint(lead based?) every few years. A fall from any height is guaranteed to be arrested, as it always has, by the Earth. Tradition. Quote:

Stranger things have been seen late at night in The Land of King.

Those are fabulous. I wish I'd had those to play on.
Our playground had a huge steam locomotive with it's fuel car hitched to it. You could work all the levers and all the gages were pretty much intact. Lots of ladders. We loved playing on it. Grew up, went to high school, JC came back to the playground and it had been completely lawyered up. There were soft, low slides and sloped ladders and the locomotive was wrapped with orange temporary fencing and had keep-out signs all over it. End-of-an-era. |

WTF happened to this thread?
The pics have been replaced with the 'Jap Eatery' thread pics. You shouldn't mess with drunk peoples' heads. They're drunk, you see. And it messes with their heads. Mm'kay?

The pics woke me up, that's for sure! (It's 7:20 AM Mtn time, with daylight savings currently set to 'on', as I type.)

Strange, there were only 3 pictures in the OP but were replaced by 5.
I'm glad it's not my fault.
