    Hahaha Oh man, I never made my guy friends do that when I was little. We played on the playgrounds, rode our bikes and made forts out in the woods! :rofl::rofl:

    The most disappointing thing about toys these days are that water gun technology seems to have taken a giant leap backwards.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I can't even find decent ones to purchase. Do they not make super soakers any more?

    I'm not sure. I've not witnessed kids having the massive water fights that we did as children.

    I think they are owned by NERF now. My kids have a couple but they are nowhere near the quality (or range) that I had as a kid. I've yet to see one with a pressure reservoir, they are all pump and spray.

    We used to make water weenies with sling shot straps. Those had a nice stream of water.

    Thats because they dont want anyone to get "hurt" while playing. "Mommy the water hit me so hard it made my skin hurt and got me wet!!!!!!"

    Kid's are pussies these days.

    Nerf guns, we used BB guns (one pump only unless someone was being an ass).

    And then lawn darts, aka: jarts..
    Those were the best. Throwing a few way up into air and then dodging them when they came down..


    What were my parents thinking!

    Heck yea, man! I'd have been all about that. I remember this one time, we made a bridge out of branches that had fallen to cross this little creek. We were SO proud of it! Borrowed Daddy's hammer and nails to put it all together. And this one boy in the neighborhood that always gave us a hard time destroyed it the night we made it. :mad: So not cool, dude...

    That reminds me of the time my neighbors and I built a quarter pipe to skateboard on and the President/owner of the community-HOA drove by really slowly and right across the ramp crushing it. I swear he made eye contact with us the whole time. What a dick. Then as he left he yelled for us to clean up our trash. We were pretty young at the time otherwise there might have been revenge. Guys dead now so there is that.

    I wouldn't doubt for one second that it's intentional... You have so many sissy ass people who have weaseled their way into these positions of power, and are pushing their pussyfication agenda on boys to basically de man them, and mind eff them to the point they question what they are.. It's ridiculous, goes right along with all the "PC" crap.. Can't say anything without somebody getting their feelings hurt... It has to stop, people need to wake up and see it's not the way..
    And that doesn't mean people can't still choose a life they want, just means, don't shove crap down peoples throats or try to.. I say if you're not hurting anybody, do your thing.

    I remember these, I had a couple.. I think I got them at some Hot Air Balloon show or something.. Shot a good stream.


    See I would've have made him pay for that.. I'd have probably cuffed him to a tree or something he'd still remember.. Some kids parents were scared to let their boys play with me because I was playing with machetes, throwing stars, and doing Ninja stuff etc..


    That guy would've had no lug nuts or license plate missing or something, if I would've seen him do that to my ramp, especially with him looking at me like that and then saying that..

    When I was six, these college boys thru a snowball up to one of our windows and busted a screen, I was protective of my mom, and I took offense to that (bc I knew she was gonna have to pay for it and we were having hard times).. So later that night I snuck out when everyone was asleep with a screwdriver and pocket full of screws.. I went and crawled under their car and placed a screw under each tire, took their license plate off (hoping they'd get pulled over) and hid it under the dumpster.. Then packed snow all the way up their front door.


    Don't get me wrong, I was and have always been respectful, as long as I'm respected..


    End of my little rant
