[QUOTE="Steelers Fan, post: 4226406, member: 16254"] I have never really messed with them. But I should get and keep some. When we were kids (late 60's and 70's), up until about age [B]12 [/B]or [B]13[/B], we dove in pools in search of the rubber super ball (which you had to hurry or it would roll to the depths) or pennies (because they were visible against white bottom). At about [B]14 [/B]or [B]15[/B] we started diving a little deeper ([I]metaphorically[/I]) for bikini bottoms. [I]Grab Ass[/I] and [I]Chicken Fights [/I]with Chicks on shoulders seem to take priority in the pool. Glow sticks, first introduced in the mid 70's, were for police and military initially and probably expensive. I don't think they got reasonably priced and made for the masses until the 80's-90's. I was also just a little too old (or mature) when the [B][I]"KNIGHT LIGHT"[/I][/B] (glow in the dark condom ) came out in 1989. [I]I'd guess some of you younger guys have[/I] [I]seen[/I] [I]them disappear repeatedly[/I][B]. ? ! ? !
