My friends and I built large model sailing ships with little cannons on them and sent them out to battle with each other! Once the lighter failed on my ship "Old Ironsides" and I went out to get my ship to fix it and the other vessel gave by backside a broadside! I had to have my mother dig buckshot out of my tailend. I lost the battle but had wounds to show for it. Never happen today.

...
People under 30 are WIMPS !
What about those of us between 30-35? You left us out and it's affecting my self-esteem.

I'm jealous....I'm 32....I suppose we did get to play hide'n'seek with the neighborhood kids after dark, but the pick-up ride had a shell on the top.
What kind of fond memories will MY kids have??!

A long time ago, back in Killeen, TX, my friends and I played a painful game. No matter what you were doing, when ever you got the urge, you would call out "dirt clod fight." At that signal everyone scattered and grabbed as much of whatever they could off the ground and started throwing it at whomever was closest.
I don't remember those friend's names or faces, but I remember the sting of rock hard Texas dirt that hadn't seen rain for months.
It's amazing how long forgotten memories bubble up into your consciousness.

Anyone remember the old wooden "merry-go-rounds" in the playgrounds? The little kids would be on them having a good time and then the big kids would come and get them going at warp speed. A few tiny ones went flying off and cracked their heads. No more merry-go-rounds.

We got shot with rocksalt-filled shotgun shells, blew up toy soldiers with firecrackers, burned leaves in the backyard, shoveled snow from 100 ft driveways for 25 cents each, built tree forts in high trees and lived on boloney and hot dogs-- man, life was good!!

My brother and I used to catch lightening bugs and keep them in a jar with holes poked in the lid. PETA would probably have us arrested for cruelty to animals if we did that now.

Remember playgrounds with hard tar or cement ? Remember monkey bars and seesaws ?

Loved those dirt clod fights....lol...them clods hurt to...especially in the middle of the back or in the head...
They sure powdered nice though...and you knew when you got a good hit....
Bwahahahaha
What fun....
Taking our 22s to school storing them with a box of cartridges in our lockers...riding the bus with them out to a friends farm with a nice wood lot to hunt squirrels....
Roasting squirrels over an open fire......
Spending the night...and riding to school on the bus with our 22s stored in our lockers...until after school when we would just walk home with them...the old man making us clean them and puttin them back in our bedroom closet...
Not one school shooting or even think about threatening anyone...fist fights....sure....gun or knife fights....never...ever crossed anyone's mind....and most all the kids I knew had at least 22s quite a few their own deer rifles...(30-30 lever actions mostly...)
Never ever even heard of a school shooting in our parts ....and every one was armed...
at least the WW2 and Korea Vets were...and that was almost all the men...(except for the 4Fs)

"Smear the queer" was epic! We used to have huge games going at school, with like 20 guys. It was a coup to play with the older boys, the 5th and 6th graders when I was 4th grader. That meant you were cool. If you could get up after 10 guys dog-piled you, you were in.

Those were the days!
I hadn't realized how many children were in our neighborhood until the "black out" last year.

'How about chased the mosquito sprayer on our bikes! LOL'
I remember that too! Snorting pure DDT! I don't think a mosquito has survived biting me since.

I had a tree house 60 feet up, used to climb up after school and take naps up there in the swaying treetop.
I once visited friends that owned a mobile home. They were trying to get the electric hooked up correctly, but it was not grounded properly. I sat on the metal step, thinking my denim jeans would protect me, and my legs were jumping out of control. If I'd used my hands....
I fell out of a tree and landed on my Big Giant Head. Shoulda broke my neck, but just a slight cut on my ear.
We used to do VIOLENT dodgeball games in the school gym. Get yer Big Giant Head whacked up against the brick wall, you were hurtin'!
Tackle football from first grade on....
I should be dead!
My two year old son is following in his dad's footsteps. Two or three weeks ago he pulled the "hold-up stick" out of the window and got his Little Giant Head slammed and pinned in the window! DOH! Like father like son.

My progeny has turned to crap, and there's nothing any of us can do about it. Well, at least you're better off than Bill Clinton's mom. Her crap turned into progeny.

That's a GREAT one! Very accurate. I got one just like that in email about 5 months ago. I put it in my drafts
folder. It's'a keeper!

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