Any of you guys inspired from TWWW in your crazy youth to...


... go out on a "mission" with your buds? I can recall doing crazy stuff "Jim & Arty" style with buds to raid watermelon/pumpkin patches, late night coed-naked swims, etc. way,way back in the day. If you did similar crazy stuff... luv to hear your stories!

Hmm... I never played WWW as a kid. I did, however, once fall off a roof playing Spiderman. I landed on a sprinkler head. Good show. Amazingly I wasn't seriously hurt but still have a scar on the side of my back from where a large chunk of meat was gouged off me. Needless to say I had to answer many questions in my junior high P.E. locker room. I left out the Spiderman part.

I got in trouble playing "West" in 2nd grade. Pretended I was James T spying on the bad guys( another classroom).

LOL.


Never make friends with the devil brother, his pitchfork will get you in the end.

I must've missed those episodes where they took dates skinny dipping.

I loved TWWW but I think The Man From U.N.C.L.E. preceded it. Either for X-mas or a birthday, I got an Attache Weapon Case. I think it shot pellets like a gun, had some sort of Luger in it, and likely a couple other spy toys in there. I thought I was Ilya Kuriakin.

I had the U.N.C.L.E. pistol with the silencer and detachable shoulder stock. My friend and I played U.N.C.L.E. all the time, and I was always Ilya. We made triangular badges out of cardboard. That was in fifth grade. When we got to sixth grade, we decided to start acting more grown-up, and put away our U.N.C.L.E. gear forever.
