    @BlueFox I grew up in Penna. so not that far away. We started out by shooting the arrows up with a slight angle off vertical so they came down close, but safely in front of us. That slowly changed as we tried to get closer and closer to us.

    We didn't do the sparkler thing, but we did take bottle rockets, light the fuse then flip them in the air before they ignited. They would go anywhere, including once into our stockpile of other bottle rockets. That pretty much cured us of that.

    One day this kid and his mom were walking past a cemetery when they pass a grave, the kid stopped to read it. He read aloud " Here lies a West Virginia Graduate and A Great Man." The kid says " Mom I don't get It." The mom says "Why not?" The kid says "Why are there two people buried there?"

    Nice!!!!

    We really must thank the West Virginians for the great invention of the tooth brush...



    Anywhere else, and it would have been called a teeth brush! :p

    We did exactly the same thing. Slide the match into the top of the gun and fire the bb which drives the match into whatever you aim at. And we did the bb gun army thing a few times as well.

    Probably had a lot to do with growing up in a small, rural town with very little entertainment available.

    Or we were just stupid.

    A lot of us did stupid things when we were kids... some of us even carried that in to our "adult" lives....

    Holding on to the back of delivery trucks in the winter time that was a blast till I got caught by my Dad driving up behind me yup didn't do that again.

    Throwing knifes at your buddies feet got scars.

    And cliff jumping in the summer time that was probably the best and most terrifying memory as a teenager. Where we jumped from you had a small sweet spot where it was about 20' deep where the waterfalls had the most force if you missed then it was around 8' to 10' or so, I'm glad it was a gravel bottom because I missed a few times....

    LOL, I have a niece who was into cliff jumping. Too bad she was also a pot head and jumped off the wrong side of the cliff, the side with no water. Broke both ankles and fractured a hip, lucky to be alive.
