Stupid things we did as kids!

[20x]

Funny stuff :lol: :lol:

In the very early 70s when I was around 5, Mum and Dad brought their first Brand new car, a Mazda 1500.
We were visiting family, while they were in the house I discovered that the car cigarette lighter made nice patterns on the vinyl, I cant remember whether I got my arse kicked or not but I can remember my art work well I went down hill from there.....

:lol: :lol:

It hurt less than the kick in the ass I got from dad and getting the slug out off my leg 8.(

 

[20x]

around same time as electrocution...

living in town and shooting lemons setup in the backyard with the sluggy using screws(allways ran out of proper ammo)

went to set them up again and my mate shot me right in the middle of the back...

even with a shirt on it left a perfectly detailed inprint in back as it hit side on...

yeah that 1 hurt big time :lol:

even in my late teens I made a sawn-off pistol gripped sluggy for indoor use...

use to sit there in the lounge room and shoot people on the tv that I didn't like using bits of candle wax for ammo :lol:

early teens...

use to get 1 inch nails and masking tape and wrap the tape in a cone shape off the nail to make a wicked blow dart and cut the wad just bigger than a curtain rod inner.

line of sight from eye to end of the rod just wasn't accurate enough so I got the flexi bit of a snorkel to attach to it after loading so I could sight perfectly down my barrel.

lethaly accurate and with enough power could sink the nail into the bark of a tree :lol:

I still want to know what would happen if....

I got descent 240v output genny and ran 2 long extension leads out, plugged 1 lead into the smallest microwave I can get and then plug the other lead into a big enough microwave to fit the smaller 1 inside it. hit full power on both and run for my life? :lol:

I reckon that's happened at the mythbusters xmas breakup.

 

[Goldtarget]

Keep them coming, haha old school days, love it. Its amazing what happens when your forced outdoors for the day, in a world of make your own fun, explosions, stitches and breaks, running to not get in trouble (which turned to pushies pretty soon) .

ok...this one is a bit full on and some may not find it funny so just try to remember that I was just a kid...

my old man and his mates were very un-sympathetic with pest irratication back then and found it very entertaining. I use to listen to their storys and just wanted to be like them.

I rarely got to go shooting cause I was obviously a pain in the ass...

my first air riffle was a real old .22 cal BSA meteor handed down from my grandfather.
cause it was so old it didn't have much power even with the proper ammo. after school and weekends on the farm I would allways be hunting rabbits but my sluggy only had enough power to injure so I allways failed.

I then discovered that at close range it worked well on birds and began to target them.
I loved it that much that I found a 'what bird is that' book and started marking them off and that's how I learnt what birds were what.

because I did this EVERY day I started off with a sore neck from allways looking up but ya actually get use to it ey. after a while the birds that lived around the farm house trees learnt that I was danger and stayed higher in the trees or flew off at the first sight of me.

I also remember that they could obviously recignise a long thing in my hands and showed no fear when I had no gun. so I started to try and conceal my weapon but they just knew.

I think back now and it was because of my posture when in hunt mode, a lions prey knows if its in direct danger in the same way.

anyway...I didn't know what empathy was back then but I eventually learnt it and I remember the exact day of my awareness. on that day and straight after I did what I did to a mob of feral goats at st George I said to the old man.."dad,i cant do this anymore ey".

I have loved and respected the natural world ever since!

through my 20's I had nightmares of big versions of things allways trying to get me and it went on for years...calma!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Have to say that I have not finished from when I started at the age of twelve, growing up in Traralgon Victoria. Going out to the local tip and filling up spud bags full of pressure packs, shooting baby rockets from letter boxes, blowing letter boxes with that trusty copper pipe bomb. making bolt bombs.

And here I am at 46 years young and last year made a real nice hydrogen fuel cell, it worked a treat until I lit a bubble of hydrogen in my bubbler. Almost blew the roof off my workshop.

Still making **** that goes bang, but now the bang has much more punch.

You notice one thing, we all talk about doing things outside. Go and ask a kid now what he got up to.

mid teens...in an older kids car...with arm out the window tow a wheely bin full of rubbish and let it go into a parked car at 60k's...oops!

I did something similar, though we tied the bin to the towbar and were taking turns sitting in it and being dragged around in the school carpark on the weekend (way before schools had high fences around them). Next thing we knew the bin handle broke when a mate was in it and he got a broken arm and collarbone. Police were called and we were all taken home to our parents and the driver lost his license for 6 months.
