Sting-A-Ling.

We would dump the BB’s out of shotgun shells and put rice in them and play war.

Rules:

1. No shooting closer than 20 yards (often broken).
2. Only crack barrel 20 gauges could be used.
3. No crying or telling if you got hurt.
4. No head shots.

Firecracker war... bb gun war. Only played bb gun war a few times, but had many good firecracker wars. One year for Christmas I got a spuds mackenzie sweatshirt (I wanted one for some reason and my granny bought me one, but got the bud light logo removed because she didn't want a kid going around promoting drinking.. Although she drinked wine just about all day, everyday).

Anyway, I was wearing it for the first time when a firecracker war broke out and I had a jumping jack fall in between my jacket and sweatshirt. I still have the scar to prove it.

One time, at my grandparents, we were having firecracker wars.. My grandparents had horses and all and a barn. It was me, some of my cousins and some other kids who lived nearby. A few of them went into the barn and was shooting roman candles out of it. One of my cousins had just got there and he came running to the back with a big ole bag full of fireworks.. Someone in the barn shot a roman candle at him and it hit the bag. It caught on fire and fireworks started popping, he dropped his bag and took off running. Then started crying. One of the funniest things I ever saw...

I tried the pass out game as an adult a few years ago. Stand against a wall, feet a couple of feet apart. Bend at the waist, hang your head down and breath in slowly and deeply for 10 breaths. Come back up fast, squeeze nodes on your neck below your jaw, while leaning head back. I ended up on my bedroom floor, feeling like I had been on an LSD trip. Decided that was enough of that. ??

No, like riding on the hood of a car.

But that too. I went once with friends, drive real slow, turn off the headlights, dude comes up to the car and says whatcha want (for a joint). Never did that again.

Wallball was pretty stupid


I spent a week in the hospital after a high school pitcher zinged one that drilled me square in my left eye.

I was sure I was blind for life in that eye, it was a couple weeks before they knew if I was going to see out of it again.

Wrist Rocket wars using rocks as projectiles. I hit another guy an inch above his eye and split his forehead open.....last time we played




we launched water balloons with this contraption at our friends window from the street one night trying to wake him up as a joke.

somehow one went sideways into the old woman's window next door to his house and it shattered her window. she had a legit heart attack. she survived it thank god, we are lucky no one went to juve for that one.

Not exactly a game but as kids we would climb on the roof of our house and jump off. No wonder I have lower back issues.

Chicken on bicycles with vehicles.

Anyone familiar with Northeast Ohio will know about the MetroParks. It's a big valley area with parks and nature, etc etc. There are roadways down obviously, 2 lanes mostly and meandering road through the MetroParks, maybe 25 MPH speed limit.

We would take our bicycles and haul arse down the hill, and shoot across the street as fast as we could.

Last one into the nature trails was teased.

Throwing shotgun shells against brick house was a bad idea.

On the MCAS at Kaneohe in Hawaii, there was lava formation that had a cave that actually went out under the ocean. You couldn't enter except at low tide, and it wasn't very big inside. We'd crawl around in there.

We'd also go pick up old WWII and Korean War ammo from the Koa bushes around the Officer's Quarters. Someone snitched us out and the Demolition guys came by and picked up all the ammo (including some live mortars and grenades that kids found). A lot of the men (including my Dad) were in Vietnam for a year so all the kids could run amuck.

Could cause or did cause?

1. Pine cone wars (young green heavy ones). Split into teams, set battle field perimeter in the woods. Him pine cones as hard as we could at each other’s faces. Couple of us could’ve lost eyes from the impacts
