O-kay, has this part of my hometown finally gone over the edge?

[Caveat Emptor]

The National Toy Hall of Fame, part of the Strong Museum in Rochester NY has unveiled new additions to the Hall, including....

a stick.

*chuckles* I get it...kudos for them for thinking outside of a box. Thats the next thing they should add you know, a great big empty box.

I have had more fun with fridge or washer/dryer boxes than some of th etoys I got as a kid. but then again back in the 1960's there was not much beyond board games, easy bake ovens Shinky-Dinks slinkies Wheelo's and some primative motorized cars and trucks.

a stick is a worldwide universal "toy" many many uses with lots of imagination. they are readily available free for the taking and if it breaks or is damaged you can find/get another in 5 minutes or less no going to the store or waiting in lines or bugging Mom or Dad for a month

heck I got creative around the age of 12 and taped a bunch of trash bags together and made my own air supported building powered by a 12" window fan. impressed the crap out of my older brother

They nominated the stick, but not the box?

Fail.

.....What?!

Read thru the article more:

"Curators said the stick was a special addition in the spirit of a 2005 inductee, the cardboard box. "
