[QUOTE=ms_m;723335]How about this. The rubber string would break and you would tie it together until it got shorter and shorter....or was that just me? LOL

We called them "Bolos." I loved them and they were inexpensive. When the string became useless we would try using a ping pong ball without a string. I guess "Paddle
ball" was a more descriptive name. I might be crazy but I think we paid fifteen cents for them. Of course, that was a lot of money for a kid -- three large candy bars.
