Whatever

Okay, as long as we're talking little boy mischief...

I was maybe 6-7 on the farm when I stole some of my Dad's shotshells.
I thought I'd make a bomb.

I cut them open to get the powder and carefully wrapped it up in paper like a big firecracker and taped it good.
My Dad had fuses too (for the anti groundhog poison gas cartridges...yes, you can still buy them.)
Stole one of those fuses as well.

So I take my bomb and went to see my friend at the neighboring farm.
Now what?

We go into the woodlot and see this big ass hollow log.
Hey, lets blow it up!
We stick it in there, light the fuse and haul ass.

Pop.

That's it?
[I didn't know at the time that smokeless powder has to be sufficiently confined to build up pressure...or it just fizzles.]

Rats.
We go looking for trouble elsewhere.




But wait, there's more.

We come back to the farmhouse after awhile and both our parents are there waiting.
Apparently that log started smoking and his Dad had to drag it out of the woodlot with a tractor and chain.
The weird thing was, they were all laughing about it.
My Mom said: "Putting those two together is like mixing ammonia and turpentine."
Whatever that means...

I caught a house on fire.
Your turn...

 

I busted church windows with a bro once. Stained glass. Just a couple. That's my piece de resistance.
Still 5 or 6. Problem was, that was the church that we went to. Now that's a story..........................................

 

That’s it??? If you don’t have time to tell the rest of the story you damn well better be cleaning your fecking closet.

 

sure. NP

 

I've told it in here a time or two, I'll try to find it!

Thanks! You can keep the girly mags!

 

We got busted by a girl scout. I will never forget those black patent leather shoes.

 

@TooTallJAMZ , I've always heard that a sneeze or a cough could cause serious damage, but your the first person I've ever talked to that's had it happen. If you ever need a pick me up on a bad day, give me a shout out also. I've been stunned by how many TW members have serious health issues like ours. We should start our own TW support group under the Health off topic forum.

 

So you’re leaving the closet as is?

 

Those were the days no?

 

In a manner of speaking

 

Do it man!! I’ll be the first to join you!

 

Oh yeah. Doesn't bother me a bit.

 

Right???

 

Goddamn OP it should!


















It REALLY SHOULD!!!!

 

@TooTallJAMZ , I'm almost feel stupid admitting this, but how do you start a new group or forum under the health forum. Do I just create a new post, or is there something else I need to do. I'm going on 63 and TW is the first online forum I've ever joined, that I actually participate in.

 

I burned down my own house at 3 years old.

 

Dont like sticky pages, and dem mags burn funny.. so Ive got no use forem
