Affirmation that you 121 guys have it made - stopped by @mad dog house for Starbucks - this is the life - bringing home $2 Large to sit home and relive childhood with Hot Wheels. I’m clearly doing it wrong!

I can almost hear the commercial jingles from the old Hot Wheels commercials in my head. I always wondered how many takes it took them to get footage of the cars actually staying on the tracks or making the jumps without crashing, because the tracks in our basement looked a lot like a CHiPS pileup.

Something that @mad dog and a lot of other guys on here will appreciate—and yell at your computer screens when you finish reading in a few seconds from now—my little brother and I each got an Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle from the church bazaar/annual parish fundraiser one year... and for the life of me I don't know where those things ended tip. :eek:

You mean Chiefs? I’ll take coins but I don’t go out of my way to get them. If I’m going to collect something it’ll probably be a patch of some sort.

I'm still not sure what the difference is between pogs and challenge coins. But challenge coins never seemed to be as big in naval aviation as in the other services... other than that guy who has to have a rack of them on his desk next to his phillipine wood name tag that's 3' x 5'.
They are a bigger deal in the army than navy. OK...kind of like pogs.

Are those pogs? Sure look a lot like pogs.
No, sir. I had to Google “pogs” since I’m not familiar with them. What I had pictured are the metal collector’s buttons that come with the reissued red line Hot Wheels cars for the Hot Wheels 50th anniversary...just like back in the day [1968] when Hot Wheels were first introduced. The metal collector’s buttons have a small, bendable metal clasp that allow you to clip them to a shirt pocket and such.

My 50th anniversary reissued Custom ‘67 Mustang with its matching metal collector’s button...as well as my complete set of five 50th anniversary reissued cars with matching metal collector’s buttons...

I had never heard of challenge coins until I became a Cincinnati cop in 2004...they seem to be fairly popular regarding law enforcement.
