    BB gun fights, dirt clod fights, slingshot fights, case of beer in the back of a friends 55, got caught, cop made us pour it out while he watched, never went to jail, fear of him telling parents was more than fear of jail. street drags at 8 mile, again no jail. kick ass fights at school, used to hunt quail and dove's with the principal and our coaches.
    fire extenguisher fights at local college dorm. water balloon attacks on strangers,,,

    The good ole days, they may RIP as the country becomes more pussified.

    That reminds me- in the winter, my brother and I used to use heavy-duty waxed boxes that we'd beg from the butcher's for suicide sleds. We'd climb into the boxes at the top of a steep hill, station a friend at the bottom of the hill to keep an eye out for traffic (the hill ended in a ditch, right next to a main road) and then hurl ourselves down as fast as we could. Usually ended up with a fat lip or bruises when we'd spill out of the box, but there was no sled in creation (includsing the saucer sled) that could hold a candle to the slickness of those waxed boxes.

    Any of you ever play with real Black Cat firecrackers and bottle rockets? Damn right you did! Still have all your fingers and both eyes? Most likely.

    One of my classmates in 5th grade came back after a long weekend with a bandaged hand minus a finger thanks to waiting too long to toss a lit M-80. The rest of us tossed a little sooner after that.

    Well, M-80's are a LOT different than Black Cats! Hell, I'm 57 and M-80's and Cherry Bombs were outlawed long before I was able to get ahold of them.

    True story - we were at the lake (I was real little) and my brothers were popping cherry bombs. A grumpy old fart gave 'em hell for it and shut 'em down. The outhouses/restrooms were your typical early 60's shitters, and there was a vent pipe from the honey pit going up the outside wall. Bro Dave saw said grumpy old fart go into the shithouse, and Dave hurried over and dropped a cherry bomb down the vent pipe.

    Guess the old bastard was quite po'd, I was too young to remember it. But it was one of my dad's favorite stories 'til the day he died. I think he was actually proud of Dave!

    Black Cats, M-80's, bottle rockets, roman candles; all of it, and I still have all my fingers, toes, and eyes. My old man used to buy them by the box full from the bartender at his favorite haunt where he also got his game tickets.

    We used to launch coffee cans and such with M-80's.

    I'd like to see the black powder anvil launches in person some time.
