Yep — we used to shoot CO2 powered BB guns at each other, we used to shoot bottle rockets at each other, we used to shoot fire extinguishers at each other. One time we got a high powered hose and turned it on each other. I’m amazed we are still alive. God protects idiots and drunks, and I’ve been both.

Been there done that. We used to launch them at other cars and had one go into an open window. I also remember a soldier sending one up at a Huey shooting blanks from the air at Ft Hood. Good thing the rotor wash sent it sideways. That chopper left and never returned.

I must’ve lived in a poor neighborhood. All we did was have rock fights, after building our forts.

But when I “grew up” my friend and I had a running fireworks battle as we each drove our own car from Meridian to Pensacola. One blew up in my hand and I damned near couldn’t hear for a week. It was good training for what followed.

I finally quit drinking last year, but “No”...most of my stupid stunts were performed while totally sober.
