    These scottie dogs were one of my favorites. Magnets attached to the bottom made them attract and repel.

    I lost mine and was determined to find another pair. Then I lost those too. So I can't help you out. Maybe I'll find them one day. :)

    I'm less responsible as an adult than I was as a kid.

    I saw a thread elsewhere asking about Mexican Jumping Beans. Amazon has 2 sellers. One is 50ยข per bean (in quantities of 30) and the other is $1 per bean (in quantities of 15.) Reviews are mixed as to whether they "jump" or they just "stay."

    Mine sat in a closet for a while, and when I remembered them, the box was full of beans with a little worm exit hole and a bunch of dead moths.

    As the manager of a baseball team you pick your team your starting pitcher, then you're off playing the best baseball board game ever created.
