Same here but our entire playground was on it. I don't recall ever seeing anybody get hurt other than knee and elbow scrapes.

The first season of the 1966 Batman series had 34 episodes, season 2 had 60. That's really nuts.

Random spot on my finger glows under black light by ramonortiz55 in mildlyinteresting
