It's A Coil. Enjoy That

How about "Enjoy it until it inevitably gets tangled and can never be fixed."

You dont "fold them up" - thats where you went wrong Lol
Load More Replies...I got one of those stuck in a tree once. Me and my friend were trying to see how far down it could go and for some reason we decided the tree would be the best place. He decided I should go up (bad idea) and I managed to make the slinky tangle so bad I'm pretty sure it's still up there and I'm terrified of heights, so I flipped out coming down and almost broke a few branches because I was trying to get down super fast.
Mine was too scared to go down my stairs (had rooms in my parents attic with a very steep staircase)
The regular size worked fine. The smaller "Slinky Jr.", not so much.

They forgot, "I Cost Waaay Too Much to Actually Play With". Original name: American Girl Dolls
Or, even more expensive; "Madam Alexander" dolls, the international collection.
Load More Replies...Some of these are not technically board games - in fact, quite a few aren't even games at all. The title should have been "20 Popular TOYS If They Had Honest Titles."
They forgot the best game for a list like this Diplomacy or what should be its name "stab your friends in the back." Another good one would be Bloodbowl or "Aneurysm in a box."
