TNChick's Saturday Photo Hunt Theme: FLEXIBLE
'It's Slinky, it's Slinky, Everyone knows it's Slinky'
These days, our grandchildren only know of plastic Slinky....but those near my age remember the wire metal ones, the ones that invariably had to be "cut" out of your sisters hair??? ...
the TV commerical went like this:
Who walks the stairs without a care
It shoots so high in the sky
Bounce up and down just like a clown
Everyone knows its Slinky
The best present yet to give or get
The kids will all want to try
The hit of the day when you're ready to play
Everyone knows its Slinky
It's Slinky, it's Slinky
for fun it's the best of the toys
It's Slinky, It's Slinky
the favorite of girls and boys
Have I got that song stuck in your head? Or is your brain so "flexible" you can forget it????

I remeber this one, I played it before. nice find and thanks for that memories .
have a great weekend Becci!
Oh this one is totally cool! Excellent picture for this week!
slinkys are the best and wonderful for flexible!! I remember the metal ones!! Now they are all plastic!! Wonderful shot.
Visits to my paternal grandmother when I was small were highlighted by getting to play with her slinky. I think she probably had it there just for me. I was the baby cousin--everyone else was at least six years older than I was and had someone to play with. My family came about once a month and my brother and sister each had a cousin across the street near their age. I sat at the top of the stairs and, with a great deal of fascination, sent that slinky down time after time after time. The stairs themselves were amazing to me, as we had none in our home.
Thanks for the memories.
Oh I so love this!! GReat choice!!
Oh Boy! Now I have that tune in my mind!! This is a wonderful shot of this week!! I remember the metal ones. and they did get caught in the girls hair..... Have a nice weekend, Grams

I love your picture, and I actually remember the metal slinky too!
Oh YES! I remember slinkies! I never thought the plastic ones were "as good" as the metal ones though! Something about the way the "chinked" when ya played with them! They're great toys!
I LOVE those Slinkies!
It has been a while since I HAVE seen one!! WE have no steps here, so I can't use one to its fullest! ;-)
Oh wow, I just saw your blog roll, how do you do that on Blogspot?
Great choice!!!
My brothers and I played with this when we were young. It was fun.
Wheeeeee! Slinky!
My kids love them, but always get them tangled. I spend hours trying to untangle them!!
Oh, that's perfect!
The slinky! Nice!
P.S. I am mama to 22 month old twins, Henry and Marcail who don't look anything alike!
Ouh.. I still have it in my room. Thanks for the shot! Happy weekend!
Oh yeah, the most flexible slinky. My kids love them.
Hey sis, great idea, and thanks for that song stuck in my head. I'm slacking in getting to make my rounds. Hugs and love sis,.. have a good weekend.
Perfection!
Very nice take on the theme! I have a photo of this toy..lol But never came up in my mind:D

Happy Weekend!
Oh! I like your" flexible". This is one of my childhood favourite belongings too.
I remember the metal ones, now that you've reminded me. Great choice for this week's theme. Have a lovely weekend!
what a great idea! i forgot about them! lol
thanks for visiting,
and happy weekend!
One of my most favorite toys growing up. The metal ones are much better than the plastic ones, I think. Great flexible choice.
My mommy remembers the metal slinkys...she thinks maybe she even remembers the TV jingle too!
She had no idea they now have plastic slinkys.
I will endeavour to be as flexible as that slinky...you'll see!!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving me such a wonderful comment. :)

Bull's eye for flexible, and a superb shot! Have a great weekend.
Slinky, I remember this toy. My classmates used to run after this on the steps of the stair. I love shot of Slinky here. :)
Cool photo of the slinky! It is certainly a flexible toy. :)
I'm naturally flexible this week.
Hey, the slinky brigns out my problem solving side - those things invariably get twisted into a knot and I love to fix it.
Cheers for a cool shot and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Great picture and yes I do remember the comericals and the wire one. I loved the sound of them as they walked down the stair.
flexible indeed! and what a great shot!
I miss playing one of those! haha
Yes, the song is stuck in my head now :) That's a wonderful photo. The light and colors are just beautiful. Great take on the theme!! Have a wonderful weekend !
Wow you took this photo? It's an awesome close up....you did a fantastic job.
And oh dear my yes! I remember those. Our little doxie used to follow in as it tumbled down our staircase, barking at it and nipping! It was a hoot.
I used to have a metal one, oh what fun up and down the stairs. How easily we were amused in those days...
Cheers Mark
A Slinky! Perfect, perfect for the theme!

Thanks for visiting my site today!
Ooooooo, a slinky! And the first one I've seen on this Photo Hunt too -- which is a bit of a surprise, actually! ;b
Great choice and a marvelous shot. I loved playing with them when I was young and my son aldo enjoys playing with a slinky.
oooo yes so fun i love your slinky picture
That's so funny. We took a slinky to China for our neighbors when we adopted our daughter. One for them, one for us. They had seen a commercial with the slinky going down the steps of the Great Wall. Yep... I did it, twice. However, I did wait till no one else was around. So I have a slinky that went down the Great Wall of China.
Thanks for visiting my site!

What an awesome picture! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my flexible submission!
We use to have the metal slinky and the sound it made going down the stairs was great..Do the plastic ones make a noise??Thanks for sharing ...
It did not take much to entertain us when we were growing up , as it does now days with this generation.Baba
Fabulous shot - I love the composition & colour. Beautiful!
Happy weekend!
