Extractions: May 18, 2004 It's a common trait of every generation to wax nostalgia about the way things were. Just last week my husband and I were pouring over a website called Tick Tock Toys-Archives and Galleries, a cavalcade of images and ideas http://theimaginaryworld.com/page4.html . We were having a lot of fun remembering Libby's Fruit Float, Wacky Packs, Space Food Sticks, Frito Bandito erasers, and...well, I could go on and on. For us, the 1970s was a good time to be a kid growing up. We could walk outside at any given moment and find other kids who wanted to play. We'd be out all summer digging in sandboxes, building forts, and playing Running Bases. We'd spend whole afternoons at the pool diving into the water, playing Marco Polo, and doing underwater handstands until we had to come up for air. Evenings would slip into darkness as we ran around playing Flashlight Tag. Our socializing was only interrupted by the ringing of the dinner bell, and after eating with the family we'd be right back with our friends riding bikes, shooting baskets, and playing Hide N Seek

Jousting MIDIRingTones Game DetailCheck out this great game. jousting ByHandy Games Knock your opponent offhis horse and free the princess! Prepare for a deadly challenges! http://www.fact-index.com/j/jo/jousting.html
Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Jousting is a competition between two knights on horse -back, wherein each knight tries to knock the other off his mount. Jousting was popular in medieval times, although it is still performed in Renaissance fairs. The knghts are each equipped with three weapons; a lance , a one handed sword , and a rondel. When one knight knocks the other off of his mount, he is declared the winner of the round. If both knights are knocked off their mounts at the same time, it is considered a tie; they then engage in sword combat, and the last standing is victorious. The knights usually jousted in a best out of three situation. The reward of the tournament was the hand of his choice of lady. Modern-day jousting competitions feature riders on horseback attempting to thread a lance through a ring. The rings become smaller as the competition progresses; riders who fail to capture a ring are eliminated until a winner is determined.
