I told my kids about pencil break and they acted like that was some medieval shit we did. Hah.

Anyone that actually wanted the USS Flagg would not have call it "the GI Joe aircraft carrier"!
Also, goddamn! but then unopened toys always seem a bit sad to me...
We would have vicious games of thumping knuckles, but I couldn't find any pics so maybe we were the only ones? We even had the hybrid where you tried to break pencils with thumps. Dunno what kids today do, but you learned some pain tolerance if you wanted to be a competitive kid in the 80s.

lol we did the same shit and honestly I was going to include it in my post but I couldn’t find a pic of “thump” or “finger flick” with a quick GIS.
This game was the best imo. Takes no consumable, you’re not gonna bleed. But my god it could hurt like a motherfucker; even while being the flicker.
Very satisfying when you can target the same spot and really make em hurt. The flush nail on nail flick was always hilarious cause both parties are left squirming.

We always played with closed fist, so more games probably ended because the thumper hit a knuckle and quit than because the thumpee gave up. I was a stubborn little shit though, so I practiced like it was a sport lol. Laser accuracy on the outside edge of the pinky was where it was at!

It popped up on YouTube for free last week.
The Blue Thunder cockpit makes an appearance in this as well. As he takes off from the ice pack the "Hind" helicopters that buzz the submarine use BT for the cockpit. Ironically Blue Thunder came out the next year.

i've been to a few chinatown apts w/ the bathtub in the kitchen
as far as i remember it was an old nyc law/reform that every apartment needed a sink and a bathtub, and these apts back then are more like studios, doors? the only door is in and out of the apt, theres no "bathroom" that wasn't even a thing, all these apts just had outhouses. so to comply w/ the law, they just slapped the bathtub in the kitchen area (since it had the plumbing for the sink) it wasn't later on the reforms then called for a closed off toilet (known in euro land as a water closet) in every apt.
also chinatown apts are tiny as fuck, i used to post a few of those cool japan apts that are like 200sq/ft, chinatown apts are scary small
i found this apt, it has been retrofitted, you open the door and this is what you see
you go thru the kitchen and see 2 doors
the door on the right is the bathroom
(notice the fridge reflection in the mirror)
and the other door is the bedroom
yea, see the dresser, it's up against the wall, thats how small the bedroom is, barely enough for a full sized bed
and you see that long black pipe in both rooms, thats heat, thats the pipe for the apartment boiler for steam.

The last apartment I lived in had a couple of those heat pipes. One was in the kitchen. I put a small dining table to block it off and the second was in the bathroom right next to the toilet, where you could burn yourself while taking a piss or shit. Fun times. Those things would make my apartment would get so hot, that I usually had to keep the windows cracked open even during winter. Is this apartment in the Chinatown in the city or Flushing?i've been to a few chinatown apts w/ the bathtub in the kitchen

that one was a ctown apt
yea my brooklyn home had a few of them and like you said one in the 1st fl bathroom going up to the other rooms. it was in the corner tho so kind hard to get burned, it did have fins on it as a pseudo radiator
i had a friend do something like this to his bathroom pipe
in hindsight that would be awesome to put your towels behind, now have a heated towel rack and it's cool to come out to a warm towel
