Laughed & scared the dog. Thanks!

I guess you have to be old enough to remember getting punks with your fireworks. These days, you have the stick lighters as an option.

you had shields?!?!?!?!?! Took that straight to the arms and legs. only rule we had was no face shots.

shh...don't tell anyone...we had guns [UZI][g3] ...no safe, parental supervision, or anything; those little fuckers didn't come out pop you back then. [Help]

SSP racers, disc guns, lawn darts, BB gun wars, bow and arrows, model rockets specifically seeing what happens when you gut the engines in a pile and light it on fire (you set fire to the carpet and piss off the parents...LOL); losing my tire jumping my bike (that one sucked), racing and jumping homemade boxcars, snow bashing, jumping my car, dirt track racing, and other types of motor sports...I didn't wear a seat belt until I got my license and rode in the back of the truck all the time...I'm still here.
