Are you prepared ?

I got my butt beat real good for shooting cars with mulberries out of a slingshot, so I didn't dare throw a snowball at one. 😌

I think I have a Wrist rocket in the basement somewhere.

A wrist rocket and some big ball bearings will get you some rabbit stew really quick. 4th of July bottle rocket & Roman candle fights were always fun. The stuff we did for fun at 10-12 40 yrs ago. I would be in jail if I let my kids do the same.

We had a family schwinn shop.  No damaged bearing went to waste.

Bottle rocket wars were great, especially after I was old enough to drive. Until my copilot banked one off the pillar and it ricocheted along the windshield above the dash and wedged into the pillar in front of me. Then it went bang.

We burned out a car when my bud Pat’s bro Dennis dropped a roach into a bag of fireworks in the back of Pat’s 1972 4 Dr Maverick. Beer was in the trunk and retrieved. That car was ugly and olive. Was a great show!

Roman candle fights using garbage cans lids as shields. That was fun.

When I was 4 or 5 was in a snowball fight and a kid hit me in the head with a rock. I remember getting stitches with memories of bright light and the needle coming into and going out of view. One of my earliest memories.

As teens we loved explosions. One favorite tactic was to fill those plastic eggs with sterno and a CO2 cartridge. Set it on fire. When the cartridge exploded it would put out the fire😁.

I’m glad we’re having this discussion. I no longer feel I was the stupidest teenager ever. Thanks you guys. 😄

Me and a buddy pulled up next to another friend and I threw a smoke bomb in the bed of his truck. Had no idea that there was some loose hay in there. Never seen somebody head to the car wash so fast.

Wow, he thought of that AND had quarters? Smart and lucky! What’s he doing now?
