I still have my OEM pullable fingers.
About the only thing I can still do that I did when I was a kid is fall down. 
I try to avoid this latent talent as much as possible.

Watch TV. And read. I read a lot, even as a kid.
i still take naps, more than when i was a kid and can still fall down. Lee
I still occasionally (mostly) act annoyingly juvenile - so I've been told. I still laugh at everything and everybody. I still play video games when given the chance. I'm still a T-shirt, blue jeans/shorts guy at just about every occasion that I can get away with it. I still crank up the car stereo and annoy everybody. I still have as much fun as I can, when I can, while I can.
I can still annoy my little sister (she's 70).
It's still fun.

This thread made me hungry for a box of Cap'n Crunch!
I still watch old (not new!) Loony Tunes, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Pink Panther clips, and, unlike a lot of what I watched way back when, they're all still funny.

Mow the lawn, take out the trash, and I still yo-yo.
I have Duncan yo-yo's like the Imperial and Butterfly.
I also have a couple of non responsive models that at first are a bit more challenging, but allow some more advanced moves to be made.

Here's a few things I still do.....
1. Listen to AC-DC, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, etc...
2. Eat peanut butter on a banana
3. Eat Twizzlers
4. Enjoy fishing
5. Watch Jaws and The Godfather every time they're on TV

Not much, but I can still laugh at stupid things.
I shudder when I think about my childhood. It's a miracle that I lived through it.
I played with a big jar of mercury that we had in the basement. I also ate a lot of fresh caught fish from the Great Lakes.
I didn't wear a helmet when riding a bike, not even when launching off an improvised ramp and sailing over a ditch! No helmet when riding a toboggan or playing pick-up hockey either.
Only race car drives wore seatbelts and our cars had metal dashboards.
I'd lay on the floor about 2' away from the TV, so I could easily reach up, turn the knob and change channels. I think we had 4 to choose from. The radiation probably explains my thinning hair!
I didn't have to get picked up by an authorized adult from elementary school, I just hopped on my bike and rode home on the street.
Life preservers were for sissies who didn't know how to swim.
I used to climb trees and scale a rusty old abandon dredge at the point, down from my folks cottage on Lake St Clair. It's a miracle I didn't break my neck or get lockjaw.
I do still carry a pocket knife just about everywhere I go, but now it's a switchblade... and it's legal!
We even played cowboys and Indians and war with toy guns and they didn't have red muzzles!

About a month ago I purchased a small balsa stick and tissue rubber band powered model aircraft. It was a pleasure assembling it, bringing back the memories of days gone by. And fly, the damned thing almost got away from me!
Shallow diving with a hookah and my metal detector. Fishing and lobstering shallow water
Laugh at an appropriately timed fart.
If I see one of those of even the just glider ones I will get it. Been a few years though.
My brother and I laid down and finished a 15 by 31 slab of concrete at 4pm Thursday and a 24x25 one at 7am on Friday. By the time we had the 25x24 troweled we we both cramping up and having a hard time getting back up. We did have a couple of younger guys to help screed it out when we poured.
But a bull float or trowel on 20 some foot of handle will suck the sap out of you pretty fast at 69.
We were laughing about how we used to pack 80# 2'x8' Duraforms out of basements and load them on a truck, when it was 100 degrees. I would be good for about 2 forms now instead of a couple hundred.

I did the same thing and it didn't effect me, effect me, effect, effect.... effect.........effect...effect...effect.
I'm going outside now to look for space ships.
