    A mess of Nerf!

    Never enough discussions about Parker Brothers Nerf for my taste, note the appearance of underrated crime fighter Nerfman in this ad.

      I loved Nerf...I only had a ball but I thought that rocked. I would love one of those Nerfmen for my nephew. They should make 'em again.

          In elementary school, the Nerf Football (American) was the football of choice. We didn't like playing with a hard, stiff leather ball when a Nerf football was so much easier to catch and throw. The formed "laces" were always the first thing to go and by the time the ends started to come apart it was time to get a new one. PLUS you could take it in the pool. Blue and white for this Cowboys fan, please.

              I don't know any kid in my neighborhood that didn't have a Nerf football. The rockets were cool as well. I don't remember anyone having Nerfman.

                The more I stare at Nerfman, the more I think I had him as a kid.

                  During the really slow times in my store, my employees and I still toss the Nerf Football.

                  It's going on 6 years old now and is mostly held together with electrical tape. All of the original coating is gone. It's just pure Nerf. Each catch explodes in a fine mist of yellow dust.

                    I had Nerf man as a kid, he was really cool. He flew pretty well.
                    My dad was clearing out his garage and found a box that had my Nerfman in it! He still flies! My boys had fun tossing him around.

                      Be careful, pure Nerf dust is a known carcinogen.

                      I always wanted one of those rocket launchers. The only Nerf I had was an airplane.

                          I know I had the rocket launcher. I think I remember photos of me playing with that one at Christmas. I'm pretty sure I must have had a nerf football or two. At least I always remember those things being around as a kid. Maybe they belonged to other kids, but I totally remember them around.

                            is Nerfman hard to find? I'd like one if it's cheap enough
