Boys and their Toys

[Chemical]

Bf just got a new remote control microhelicopter. As I sit here and watch him play with it I can't help but think of the term "boys and their toys."

I am not allowed to touch it unless I read the manual and try the simulator software first.

It was the last thing he did at night and first thing he thought of this morning.

It absorbs most of his attention.

He is giddy like a child and does not fathom my lack of excitement for spare tail rotator gears.

Do your boys have toys?
(It is pretty cool granted I would likely smash the thing and quickly call it a day)

My dad bought me a quadricopter for my 21st birthday. My sister bought me an inflatable zombie head.

I really don't like toys. I like useful things. The more practical the better.

[Jinx]

Yeah, me.

I just got a free yo-yo from an exhibition and I can't stop playing with it at work.

Does Football Manager count? Because damn.

mIRCStats, too, if software counts. Excel! Oh man. xD

Right, material things: ...nothing springs to mind, but I know that when I someday have a large house in NZ, I am going to have a bloody epic slot car racecourse set up at some point. Dad and I used to spend ages setting them up in the spare family room when we had a massive house when I was a kid, and it would take about four charging points to power the entire thing. It was amazing.

Uhm.. -My- boy doesn't have a toy of any sort unless you count the PS3, which I've been playing more than he has lately. Well.. And his new car.. He bought a Mazda 3 Skyactive. He's all in love with it but sometimes wishes he'd bought the Speed 3 like his roommate did instead even though he sucks at driving it cuz the clutch is way too stiff. Whatevs.

IDK. I don't know that any of us were really into toys in that sense.. I mean, aside from when we were kids and whatnot. My brother & sister had mini dirt bikes & four wheelers when they were little, I had a Yamaha Waverunner... My dad's "toys" are anything and everything that enhances his t.v./movie viewing pleasure. And Budweiser. meh.

My "toys" these days are mostly related to computers or programming.

Whenever you lot say toys with quotation marks, I can't help reading it with a coy tone, and it makes me think you're talking about sex toys.
