Spent most of my childhood on a farm, so some of these games I've read about here are foreign to me. I went barefoot all summer, even when riding the pony. She'd roll over to scratch her back in the sand, with me on her (or under her.) I had a perfect horse shoe imprint on my chest for a few months after she kicked me once. I think that was the good luck charm that protected me from some of my other escapades.

My brother & I were playing with matches in the cornfield, and ran out of matches. I ran barefoot between the rows to get back to the house and steal more matches. I tried to jump over a row of dried bent corn stalks, but my foot landed squarely on one, and it broke off deep inside my foot. The emergency room doctor was impressed.

We were jumping over the half-wall in the barn, and when my turn came, I made it over the wall, and sliced my leg from knee to hip on the corner of the rusty metal horse trough. My sister taped it shut with first aid tape. No bandage. Just tape.

I caught a squirrel with my bare hands, and he bit me. I don't remember the series of shots, but I'm told I shouldn't try to remember.

We had a toy called "clackers." It was a string with a metal ring (like a key ring) and two clay balls (clackers). You held the ring, swinging it up and down, to get the clackers to swing up and slam against eachother, then down and slam, up slam, down slam.... Sooner or later they would break and go flying at a high rate of speed into a window, an eye, or whatever was in the way; usually somebody's head. It would leave a real nice goose egg.

I still have fond memories of sleds, snow mobiles, toboggans, and Fools' Hill.

I think I lived to the ripe old age of about 6.

Clackers were not my favorite toy

Thanks for you take and sharing you stuff

[firebrand]

Yeah, I learned that one. Then I stood up in my stroller.

I'm 47 with two kids 15 and 13, and we still don't wear helmets when riding bikes.

We are SO dead.

[YOUGOTIT]

And put the lead BBs in your mouth to fill up the gun. Drink milk that was directly from the cow. Drink water from the local creek. Yep we should all be gone.

Hehehehe...I have a permanent scar above my left eyebrow from Smear the Queer. Got hit, the doc stitched it up, then I played in my little league basketball playoff game that night. Little wusses today would miss a week of school if they got a bump on the head like that.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[DLfromthedesert]

Yeah ... remember freedom? It was nice while it lasted.

[TASMANIANRED]

I shook baby powder on the linoleum floor and slid in my socks.

"Those bugs never lived thru the morning though...and they'd leave a glow trail if you smeared them across the sidewalk."

I was a scrawney assed kid. Used to be able to sit on one of the metal Tonka trucks and ride it down the hill in the backyard. I thought the truck was exceptionally cool with lightning bug illumination on the headlights.

I took a health/longevity test on the web a few months ago.
I smoke, not very active, like meat and dairy products, hate foo-foo foods and after answering all the questions the verdict came in...

I've been dead 15 years!

Oh I love this!

[Typelouder]

I'd get off the school bus in the winter, grab onto the rear bumper and go skiing.

I'd also hang onto my friend's car bumpers who would do donuts in our church parking lot when it snowed.

I used to stand up on my toboggan going down the hill.

My brothers and I used to throw knives at each others feet in a game to see who could keep their balance with their feet spread the furthest apart.

I survived Lawn Jarts.

[diamond6]

LOL!!!!!

All the kids in our neighborhood used to come out after dark & play flashlight tag. Or how about "Smear the Queer"....we couldn't play that today...the name is a hate crime.

Heh, we used to call the flashlight game "German Spotlight." I remember the toy rayguns that were flashlight when you pulled the trigger, SSP Racers where you stuck in the plastic stick and yank it out to make 'em go, The Vertibird helicopter, and so on. Here is another indicator of age, anyone remember Marx Toys, they made toy guns and an inclosed shooting gallery. I think I had a toy Tommy gun made by Marx where you pulled the trigger and it made the sound effect. Let's see, I remember slot cars, Matchbox cars (I still collect 'em), and Hot Wheels.

BTW, I'll be 38 next month. B-)
