I don't care either way because i have avatars off, but I prefer the cat because it is not offensive to the lord.

We ran around the creek trying to shoot each other with BB guns. We called it BB gun war. Poked scorpions with sticks. Played with matches, a lot. Always searched for lizards and snakes to play with. We were idiots.

I always give scorpions a wide berth. When we had woods behind our house we had a lot of scorpions that worked their way in. I remember laying down to bed and seeing two scorpions on the blinds of the window at the head of my bed, and one of them just decided to drop down on my face. My mom was scared of them too so at like 11pm she called my grandma over who located the scorpions and stabbed them to death with a steak knife and told my mom that they are just bugs and stop being a baby. she stayed the designated scorpion slayer though, i don't blame my mom, gently caress those things.

The only thing I remember about the last incarnation of this thread was someone saying "yeah, we used to run through the woods building forts and pretending we were in epic battles. Once puberty hit, the muscles we grew made us attractive to the opposite sex, so we forgot all about our fort kingdom." And everyone in that thread responded, "uh, that is literally the most normal childhood, ever."

yeah I eat rear end posted:His ancestor got revenge on me when I took an entomology class in college, and for the lab we needed one spider sample for our bug collection. My kill jar was completely worn out and I was too lazy to go get it gassed up, so I was left with my minifridge freezer to kill bugs. For my spider, I picked a big orb weaver because I wanted to impress the TA. So I swung my net at the spider and what do you know, the spider isn't in the net and is nowhere to be seen. I start walking away figuring he ran away on the ground, until a couple minutes later when I felt it on my hand and it bit me. I somehow managed not to freak out and put him in the jar and stuck him in the freezer for his final fate. Then once I was convinced he was dead I started to mount him for my collection board. After pinning like 3 legs it started moving and I was like oh god i'm the bug mengele and put him back in the freezer.

One day I was walking around my neighborhood because I was bored and I noticed this tree in the middle of the next street over from mine that was dropping these huge crab apples. I'd never noticed it before. I can't remember why but I suddenly got the idea to grab a whole bunch of them and walk to the top of the street where the main road was and roll them into path of passing cars. Occasionally one would go right under someone's wheels but usually they'd miss and I'd watch with amusement as people would swerve around trying not to run them over. Eventually they got squished anyway. I did this pretty much any time I was bored and there was nothing else to do or no one to hang out with. I started telling other kids about this and it got to the point where a few of us were filling up bags of these apples to roll them into the street. Related to things that grew on trees, this old guy had a tree that grew these spikey things and occasionally someone would break off a branch with a few of them on it and swing it around to threaten other kids with it. No one ever got hit with one as far as I know but it was still scary because those things were really loving sharp. They looked like this:  Apparently they're chestnuts.

Hah oh man, we had a chestnut tree that overhung our school yard and dumped a bunch of these fuckers in the lawn. I remember people throwing the spiked and unspiked versions, in grade 3 I hit an 8th grader with an incredible moonshot across the schoolyard and it hit the back of his head with the most beautiful crack. I only avoided getting the poo poo kicked out of me after my friends ratted me because he refused to believe I could make the throw.

We'd run out in the middle of the road when a car was passing through and jump out of the way just before it hit us, and the closer you got to getting hit the more badass you were. Eventually this stopped working cause nearly everyone who took that route had caught on to our poo poo and made sure to go real slow through the neighborhood, and it wasn't a fun enough game to take hours doing it.

Neighbor boys were homeschooled Mennonite kids so that makes them weird off the bat, but the older brother was around my age and the younger brother was around my sister's age so the four of us were always tearing around the woods as kids. Our land had an old barn on it and we decided to clean out the hayloft as a clubhouse. We found a mummified possum, and a nest of old, old eggs. We dropped one and inside there was a dessicated corpse of a baby chicken without any feathers, but I remember it being blue? Maybe it had frozen? We had chickens so one of the girls probably got out, made a nest, and then forgot about it. We also cleaned out a bunch of old lumber, and when I was passing it from upstairs to downstairs, it slipped and almost hit the other brother in the eye. Then my little sister fell out of the loft and hit her head on the tractor tire beneath. If she had fallen just a little to the side, she would have hit the metal cover and probably died. We were told to stop playing in the barn after that.

@ intermediate the crew would all catch the bus to my dads place, we'd drink his sambucca and play goldeneye and have turns playing doom and quake1 @ high school we'd catch the bus to mums place and play airsoft in the bushes behind her house and smoke weed before playing action quake 2 via 56k (/rate 2000 meant you could get 2 people on each 56k line!!!) I wish I was a kid again or at least was a weird older man with only young children as friends and we could all play in the bush together... wait a sec...

While building forts and bike ramps in the woods behind their house we ventured back a ways and found a big pile of geodes, and just started carrying them back to our fort. Dude who owned the house that backed up to that section of the woods came out and yelled at us for stealing his rocks and we ran.

There were a lot of rock outcroppings at my house and my friend and I would deem them forts and basically pretend everything was a fort all the time. Sometimes we would get into arguments about what fort belonged to whom. At said friend's house we would ride bikes around his neighborhood dirt roads and pop wheelies off small stones.

At the end of my block there was an empty field that was riddled with golf ball to baseball sized holes. I mentioned to my dad that it must have taken a lot of gophers to make all those holes. He told me that they were actually tarantula holes, and my eyes lit up like it was Christmas morning. After a bit of trial and error my friends and I perfected the art of tarantula fishing, (break a vine off of a weeping willow tree and thread it into the hole to 'fish' them out). We went on to terrorize our sisters, mothers, and the neighborhood in general with our new pets. My parents finally made me stop catching them when I was suspended from school for bringing three in my lunchbox and letting them loose in the cafeteria. In high school I made weed money buy catching and selling them to a local pet store.

When forced to go out for recess in -30 we discovered it was actually warmer if you were buried in the snow. So we've pull our toques over our faces, laid down in the snow and then had someone else pile it ontop. Make sure your hood is pulled properly up and you don't have any ways for the snow to get under your coat or whatever and it was actually way warmer than standing in the wind.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=groundersquote:It is a game which involves a group of people, preferably the more agile, to go to a children's playground (the more complex the better) and to have a contest as to see who is "it" and the others are to hide around upon the playground works while the person who is "it" tries to find these others while the "it" person has closed eyes or is blind-folded. The others can move to other areas of the playground but must take great care when moving or especially on the ground. If the person who is "it" calls out "GROUNDERS" while someone is traversing the ground to another area that person becomes "it". Another way to pass the "it" status is to tag someone. Apparently this wasn't ubiquitous either? wtf. We did this literally every recess for like 4 years

Had small riots with the kids on the other side of the peace wall. Happened most summers and was usually uneventful but exciting when the police came and we all got to throw stuff at landrovers. Helped one of my mates dad's steal scrap metal from a factory that closed down. He promised to buy us drink but instead bought loads for himself and gave us a pound each. Watched people "race" quads for like 10 minutes before they ran out of petrol and had to push them home.

make bootleg copies of PC game CDs in 2001 with the Big Kid across the street who was Good With Computers and had a cd burner. Find video game cheats on newgrounds. Watch stick figure fight flash videos Go to the giant landscapes of piles of snow and ice that were made when the streets and parking lots were plowed and push each other off of them Make our own piles of snow and ice and push each other off of them. Pull the big metal stakes that held the playground to the ground out. Methanar fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Jan 28, 2019 |

Jump off of the swings to see who could get the farthest, sort of like long jump but way harder on your knees Roll backwards off of the swing to get off doing a flip in the process. Climb up the metal poles of the swings and get rust and poo poo all over your hands. Pull down the pants of the kid who's climbing up the poles of the swings. Have someone block the bottom of the slide and then pile like 15 kids up on the slide

We'd do it in cardboard boxes and tubes too but tires were the best cause you'd get really loving disoriented and dizzy from the extra motion. And hell yes to grass sledding too. edit: the tubes were probably forms for making concrete posts for lamps and stuff. you could get them at home depot or nick them from construction sites.

All with my Mormon neighbours (the youngest of six kids) in north ontario -made potions out of mushrooms, random wild berries, the occasional turd. Never consumed the potion. Perhaps could have been able to achieve highdom for life? -played some weird rear end torture game where we sealed the chosen into a box and through a slot on the top would throw in bugs, dirt, moss, creek water, hopefully not the occasional turd. This game makes me feel good because they all said I took the worst punishment and yet it did not bother me -the older brother had strange ideas of what was fun. We would reenact Pokemon except we would just walk around the perimeter of the local playground. 25 walk arounds gets us to viridian city!!!! -dug trenches -played sexy Big Comfy Couch

The mall across the street from our school used to pile all the plowed snow at the edge of the parking lot on the side closest to our school. I don't know what they were thinking building snow mountains like 40 feet off school property but they got super mad when we had junior high vs. elementary king of the hill matches on them. Pro move was to hide a chunk of ice in a snow ball and chuck it someone's face, but I only know because I got a hella shiner. Later that year the junior high kids melted a bunch of candles over a concrete divider and did sick grinds and that made the mall so angry they jackhammered all the dividers out then paid to have the snow moved off site next winter.
