I could write my name with one if these when I was a kid, and I can still
do it today.

I just did that the other day with one of my grandkids. He was 1) shocked that I even knew what an Etchisketch was and 2) that I could write my name in cursive on it.

He thought it was a new invention. These kids think everything started with them. LOL.

booking. The coaster flipped over, sending me and my buddy skipping down
the chip seal pavement. The coaster remained upside down, resting on the
vertical mounted steering wheel. We just laid there in the street, moaning.
A car driver stopped and asked if we were okay. We muttered something and
he drove off, leaving us to fend for ourselves. The second crash occurred
after we hit a bump and the steering wheel came off and we hit a curb. That
time me and my buddy flew out of the coaster and ended up on the neighbor’s
lawn with the wind knocked out of us.
