    Was at Kiddo's old school to vote yesterday, they put astroturf down, really cool stuff. Looks and feels real and cushiony to walk on.

    This room always looked wonderful to me. I knew one person with Foosball at home and a few with pool tables, but zero with their own Air Hockey table.

    This stuff has recently popped up in convo with some peers. I remember people putting Jolly Rancher candies into them to 'flavor'.

    Anyone who used a ballon or two for a little different tone? Taught the card and balloon trick to my kids when they were young. Soon the whole neighborhood sounded like a hoard of Harleys:rofl: :lol: Obviously it caught on quickly amongst the other kids!
