No, they told me it would make me go blind. (Well, I quit after I got glasses.)

I lost my marbles. Now I'm crazy. But, I still have the ones from my childhood. Some nice cat's eyes and a steely.

All the neighborhood kids played with Marbles. They'd go over to his house after school and on the weekends. I told them not to go, but they wouldn't listen to me. The cops came and took Marbles away one day. Never did find out what happened to him.
