biologically speaking the vas deferens is also a tube. granted they don't get tied during a vasectomy but... i think the point was well taken nby everyone else

and these are NOT my nephews/cousins. but that playboy idea might work.
usually a dude says he is getting "snipped"..... just in case you don't want to sound like a chick anymore....

OPP - the Naughty by Nature song
REM - 80's, early 90's group

To the OP, are they into sports at all? Maybe a basketball/soccer ball, baseball glove, something like that?

last time i went to their garage.. the boys each had a dirtbike (as in motorcycle).. and bikes. and snowboards, and sleds, skis, it's like..

wtf do u buy kids that have everything? i didn't have SQUAT when i was 10. except my 2 speed murray

if i give the boys a DS Lite, the "sharing" part would be the parents' problem...

i guess you can only get them things that their parents wont buy for them. like cigarettes, booze and nudie mags. well, 10 might be a little too young. sorry no idea then!

Buy them a Frisbee, or sport kites, or something to get them outdoors - too many kids sit on their butts and play video games anymore.
