I was pretty decent at the yo-yo. It did make a comeback in the 80s. I probably had 20 yo-yos.

yeah, what were those called? we had several of them, too. I was briefly able to do the cradle, but maybe only once or twice, lol.

But I could walk the dog like a motherfuker.

I don't recall any yo-yo craze in the mid-late 80's. I do remember the yo-yo craze of the late 70's though. The yo-yo exhibition team came to our school at the time, and the next day, every kid in school had a yo-yo. Then it was a teatherball craze, then a frisbee craze. The 70's was a blast.
