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)

30 - "Loved those dirt clod fights"

I remember the bright red clay mudballs in Virginia, and how beautiful they looked when thrown at shiny cars, particularly shiny black cars, and they didn't hurt at all. Until I got home, and saw one in front of my house, and then the paddeling really hurt, and I didn't think they were so pretty after that.
