Good, old fashioned teenage hijinks. The way it should be.
Gotta cool off those quantum processors.....
You got that right. As a kid, we would gather up all of the metal barrels in the park that were used as trash cans. We would get them to the top of the biggest hill (made a great hill for sled riding in the winter). We would crawl into the barrels and get pushed down the hill. When we got to the bottom there was a gully for rain runoff and after hitting that, we'd go airborn for more than 20 feet. It would take us 20 minutes to gather are wits before we could do it all over again. There was always a line of kids waiting to be put into a barrel and rolled down the hill.
Talk about fun. When they got rid of those barrels and replaced them with wired trashed cans, it was almost like part of our childhood was thrown away.
The 70's were such a great time.....

I joined this site to learn about long range shooting and reloading tips.... and then I found this thread and 1500+ pages later, I’m writing in run on sentences and I have a Master’s Degree in education.
That’s the beauty of the Hide: you get both smarter and dumber at the same time! ?
They're not run on sentences, there's just so many facts in most of these posts that we just can't take the time to take a breath when we're so enthusiastic about a subject and who would want to add a . when you can just keep talking much less who would even notice a . anywhere in a post that is unless your one of those grammer Nazis...
What year was that mate?? I remember taking part in this show with them in Perth, 1987.
F-16 81-0667 Thunderbirds 4 touches down at Perth from Jakarta on 13 October 1987
Behind the Thunderbirds came their tanker, McDonnell Douglas KC-10 30078, which provided the air-to-air refuelling
during the flight from Jakarta to Perth.

I’d help her in her false advertising endeavor.
Many IED's made with them many years before the term came into use....
My kiddo has a cap gun (pair of six shooters) that uses roll caps.
Bright orange plastic...... probably ok since it seems everyone freaks out and we live in the burbs. Wish she had the cool ones like pictured as well. May have to keep my eyes out. Though currently more interested in a holster for the new Ruger single action .22 she has......
She said the caps dont smell as cool as shooting her real rifle (hard to get a strong burnt powder smell going with a slow running single shot), but dad can and she “spots” for me.
I have trained her that burnt powder smells good, in the same category as cooking steak or bacon......?
One day, she touched of a quick succession of shots with her cap gun in the garage being cute. The amplified sound scared the pee outta her.
No reprimand necessary. It was self limiting.
I have great memories of a family moving to my small town from Chicago when I was about 7. Scared the piss outta their whiny and fit throwing little princess with my cap gun collection and a pocket full of caps.

Saw him @ Abbotsford in late 80’s. He did a number of low flybys, the final one on afterburners. Good Gawd ! I went deaf. Had my ears cupped plugged, think I was deafened through my sinuses. Very cool plane.
"Home of the Thunderchickens", in 2011.
We were there with a bunch of other folks doing cool shit. They were practicing their best dance moves and clogging up the flightline.

I didn’t realize that anyone else besides me used the term “Thunderchickens.” Great minds think alike!
Got a Buddy up Hendersonville way... old Jersey truck driver (Teamster) went by that CB handle ThunderChicken.
I almost got into a fist fight with a major in an O-club who took offense to me using the term “Thunderchicken.”
Some people, with big egos, can be a little too sensitive.
Yep had one . Hell, I think at one point every kid in my neighborhood had one.
Bubba (from Alabama) applied for an engineering position at a Lake Charles refinery.
A Yankee applied for the same job and both applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take a test by the manager.
Upon completion of the test, both men only missed one of the questions.
The manager went to Bubba and said: "Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the Yankee the job."
Bubba asked: "And why are you giving him the job? We both got nine questions correct. This being Louisiana, and me being a Southern boy
I should get the job!"
The manager said: "We have made our decision based not on the correct answers, but rather on the one question that you both missed."
Bubba then asked: "And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?"
The manager replied: "Bubba, its like this. On question #4 the Yankee put down; "I don't know."
You put down, "Neither do I."

Love how the kite tries to play along, by suddenly turning into a Lawn Dart.
It was either 2009, 2010 or there about. I don't rightly recall.
Don't Know ? .. unlike the Dog, I never seen any of my Cats drink water out of a toilet bowl with skid marks in it .

We would spend hours ripping the rolls of caps into individual squares then then pierce them all onto a pin, roll up in masking tape,(the fuse) Light and enjoy!
