[–]pfrizzle 197 points198 points ago

Climbing door jambs was one of my favorite home jungle gym activities growing up and I had totally forgotten about it until right now. Thanks for that.

[–]Leafy_head 92 points93 points ago

Same here. And when I got a little bigger, I did the feet-braced-against-each-side-of-the-doorframe climb, too. Just no Spiderman costumes back then.

[–]Gepettolufkin 32 points33 points ago

Did you at least have the spiderman silly string shooter?!?!

[–]DCMFDOOM 48 points49 points ago

I had this. I also had it promptly taken away when I sprayed my sisters room with it cause she broke my sweet ass board game.

I don't remember what it was called...but the board had alligators and water and whatnot, and you set up a bridge, which connected one side to a platform, and the other to a giant skull with purple rubies as eyes. This skull would shake the bridge every once in a while during the game, and your character could fall to their death.

Fuck, I really want to know what that game is called.

[–]jingks 50 points51 points ago

You run, you slide, you hit the bump and take a dive!

But I'm guessing you really meant Forbidden Bridge. It's FOR-BIDDEN!

[–]DCMFDOOM 37 points38 points ago

Oh, my, god.

You've just restored my childhood. I love you, internet stranger.

I always got attached to any cartoon in commercials and always wanted to know more about them and wished they had their own show.

[–]Chainbrain 1 point2 points ago

NO! Lets get the jewels.

[–]Jeptic 1 point2 points ago

Awesome looking game. 10/10 would play drunk.

[–]Smurphentine 0 points1 point ago

You think they'd at least fill it with water for the ad.

[–]lizlegit000 0 points1 point ago

Totally playing this game now

[–]TheAfterPipe 0 points1 point ago

That and Domino Rally were my two favourite games ever.

[–]jontss 0 points1 point ago

I still have that game somewhere, I think. Or at least I saw it in the top of my closet a year or so ago... wonder what I did with it. Probably gave it to Value Village or something.

[–]DCMFDOOM 0 points1 point ago

If you still have it, I'd pay you for it.

[–]jontss 0 points1 point ago

I'll take a look next time I am at my parents' place. Send me a message so I have your contact.

[–]mechchic84 0 points1 point ago

You should try to find it and buy her another for her birthday and tell her you are sorry. It would be a little late and maybe kind of funny.

[–]DCMFDOOM 6 points7 points ago

Buy her another what? The silly string and the board game were both mine. haha

[–]stillnotking -1 points0 points ago

Your sweet ass-board game?

[–]Leafy_head 1 point2 points ago

Nope. Likely that was after my "climbing years." Though now that you mention it, I DO remember a little blue thing -- it looked like a plastic nozzle with an elastic strap for your wrist. I think it was a part of some sort of old spiderman costume or toy. didn't shoot anything that I remember, though.

[–]Gepettolufkin 1 point2 points ago

it's selling for 100 dollars today on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Spider-Man-Action-Blaster-Shoots-Spiderman/dp/B00005RUN8

ridiculous.

[–]benleonheart 0 points1 point ago

I bet someone's clicking the "Add to cart" button repeatedly while yelling "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY"!

[–]Frankeh 2 points3 points ago

A bit unrelated but related to spiderman costumes. Every day when I walk home there's a kid dressed in a spiderman costume on his own just standing on my roads corner. He'll be throwing web and shit before he sees me, then when he sees me he'll just stop and stare.. It's kinda creepy.

I want to play spiderman with him but I think the 15 year age gap is probably too much.

[–]Blu3j4y 2 points3 points ago

Last week, I was walking into Skyline Chili, and some little kid & his mom were walking to their car. He was dressed up as Spiderman, so I smiled and waved at him. He waved back and shouted "I love you!", so of course I yelled back "I love you too, Spiderman!" while his mom cracked up.

[–]Strawberry_Poptart 1 point2 points ago

Also in the hallway, and see if you can make it all the way to the end of the hall without falling.

[–]Leafy_head 1 point2 points ago

Heh, yup. I did that a couple times, maybe. Though I realized early what drywall was and that it could only take so much before caving in. . . so I backed off from things like that.

Then one day, I stood on my desk and it broke, and I realized my days as a climbing rascal were over. I was now officially big enough to break stuff. :(

[–]gradeahonky 0 points1 point ago

Yeah to both of these. Anyone else remember the big milestone of being able to jump and touch the top of the door frame? And then soon after learning how to hold on?

[–]Dunkelz 0 points1 point ago

I used to do something similar, but in hallways in my house because they were just the right width. I'd be able to get my feet/hands pressed against the walls at just the right position and climb all the way up. Was fun as hell to just chill up on the ceiling and surprise people as they went by. Was NOT fun doing it at my friends house who had slightly wider hallway with a different kind of wallpaper/paint that made it a good amount more slippery. It may have been a fall of only like 6 feet, but flat onto my back. Never did it again.

[–]getgnar 0 points1 point ago

You should rock climb!

[–]gradeahonky 29 points30 points ago

Whatever, kids are built to be able to do these things. I did that stuff all the time when I was a kid and I'm a better man for it.

[–]chicagogam 2 points3 points ago

so that's what we need...a army of kids that can survive trips and falls. our tiny supermen might be enough to terrorize the enemy :)

    I used to do that all the time as a kid. Climb up to the ceiling, climb to the top of swing sets, jump off the top of slides like it was nothing... now if I try to hang onto a bar for more than 5 seconds my hands hurt and I hurt my back just getting out of bed...

    There's a difference between a rambunctious kid and an adult pushing a kid off a 7 ft drop.

    [–]theronin23 6 points7 points ago

    If I ever meet your children, I will push them off a 7' drop and say "sometimes they fall and hurt"

    I'm trying to reconcile this statement with:

    better than being someone who insults a person anonymously.

    And I can't, because now you lost the moral high ground by threatening someone else's child anonymously.

    [–]kneegrr 1 point2 points ago

    I would say the same thing to your face if I standing by you and heard you say that. Unfortunately the only chance I get to call you out on your douchiness is anonymously over the internet. Sorry to inform you but you will never have the chance to push them off a 7 foot drop seeing as how I refuse to have children and have already paid for more than a couple abortions. The fact that you would push a child off a 7' drop, which I may add is not what is happening in the picture, makes you a giant piece of shit if only you could have been aborted as well.
