Something in the air...bringing back all these hot day memories. You gotta love how those things totally killed the lawn. Anybody else have a Slip 'n Slide? How'd you cool off on a hot day when you were a kid??...assuming you were like me and had no pool.
Running through the sprinklers was another Newark hot day favorite...

When I was a kid, we had this thing that looked sort of like a bell and had a funny face on it and you hooked it up to the hose and it climb up into the air and squirt water all over. We'd run under it and scream in delight, etc. That was in good ol' Chico, where it's probably 120 degrees today. Good times!

you can make your own slip and slide with some heavy plastic. make sure you grease yourself up with baby oil

holy crap..i hate slip n' slide..not wanting to 'jack yer thread..but the last time i slid down one, i got a massive cut on my belly from a piece of broken glass that someone didn't see when they layed down that damn thing..
although, there is a car commercial where they pull out a massive slip n' slide and go down a big street on inner tubes..that looked like fun!
thankfully, i've got a big pool in my apt. complex..i'll sip a COCKtail by there

My family was too poor for a real slip n slide , but I'm down with industrial sized black garbage bags cut open and put on the lawn. Just add baby oil and a hose and you got a whole lot of fun!

YES! Equally poor, but equipped with a weed-covered hillside (not *that* weed), we did the same (after weeding the hill 1st).
Good, bruise-filled times!

Slip N' Slide 2008 v.s. 1986
Back in my day, it was the thing. Now a days, it means you don't have a pool or your "ghetto" (nothing wrong with being ghetto). Last weekend, my little brothers were in the back yard playing with thier slip n' slide. Oh shiet... they came in the house with BLACK EYES.
2 slip n' slides + racing side by side = A Disaster! They would violently "slide" into eachother.

Oh I remember trying to go feet first on one once (which you're not supposed to do) my head snapping back hard on the ground and getting a concussion on a slip 'n slide.
Never again.

Wouldn't riding a slip n' slide while very drunk make you throw up?

This is true...
Our kitty-cat, Normie used to run through the sprinklers with our kids!
Normie's first owners had three dogs and Normie copied the traits of the dogs.
he also goes on walks!!!
BTW-
Normie liked our home better and his first daddy let us adopt him
:D

my friends in vermont have a huge slip and slide party every year. they live on a pretty big hill and they construct a slip and slide that's about 50 yards long and ends in their pond.
it's really fun
