Captain Fantastic is the name of a mid-70s Elton John album. It’s actually called “Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy”. “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” is from Captain Fantastic. Great album!

Captain Fantastic! That’s a Fantastic name! You know what else is a great name? Max Powers. That’s what Homer renamed himself… after a blowdryer =).

On Family guy, Peter names his boat “S.S. More Powerful Than Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and the Incredible Hulk Put Together.”

So, our British “Captain Fantastic” is quite as original as previsouly thought.

Yea, I think it’s time for us to move our children towards more “interactive” toys, and away from video games, tv, computer games, etc.

nice to see that the Toy Hall of Fame is getting national coverage…it’s part of the Strong National Museum of Play in my hometownof Rochester, NY, and it’s gotta be one of the most FUN museums in the world…if you’re ever in the area, don’t miss it

Some rock fans feel disenfranchised by the stick’s admittance to the toy hall of fame. Rocks are every bit as fun as sticks. I still have some rocks from when I was a kid. Who saves sticks?

Rocks rock!
