Here's a link to it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumblety-peg

Its been 4 decades....
IIRC we used to start feet shoulder wide. and throw a knife towards the other player who was about 6 feet away. We threw the knife near the other players feet, and the nearest foot would have to step in place of the knife. In one version the knife was thrown outside the feet with the goal to have the legs spread wider and wider. In the other, it was to throw the knives inside the feet to make the stance narrower. I don't remember any adults getting all heated up about kids playing this type of game...
 
I can't believe this hasn't been moved to the 'dumbass' thread yet?

Hey folks...quick question...my buddy and I rock out a Spyderco Tenacious and a Benchmade Griptilian...when bored at campsite, backyard, etc., we tend to pick an unlucky tree and toss our knives into it from about 10'-15' away...often times, the knives don't stick in, and of course bounce off the tree and land on the ground...I can't imagine this is good for the knife, is it? Is this something we should stop doing? We can always find other things to do, like drink more beer or set more snares...

Set snares for what? I've seen one of the best beagles that ever lived get caught and die in a snare. If the person that put it there had of been there when his owner found him....

Seriously with this question
 
Missed out on Mumbly Peg, but I remember Lawn Darts! :)

I have to agree about the snares. :mad: Unless it's a survival situation, trapping is inhumane. Even as a method of pest or population control, the practice is abhorrent in my opinion. Then again the original post reveals a great deal about the author - none of which is good. Quite possibly it's even an admission of illegal activity.

Snares are illegal in much of Europe. In other jurisdictions, they are regulated. For example, in Iowa, snares have to have a 'deer stop' which stops a snare from closing all the way. In the United Kingdom, snares must be 'free-running' so that they can relax once an animal stops pulling, thereby allowing the trapper to decide whether to harvest the animal or release it.
 
Hey, guys, I put my knives in the dryer after I get done cleaning them. They make an awful ruckus. Do you think that there might be long-term damage?



LOL


When I was a kid, I had an actual "throwing knife" bounce off a stump and come right back at me. It's a dumb thing to do. Only bullets should be thrown at tree stumps.
 
HERETIC.

I mean, yeah, it's bad.

Throwing knives can be fun, though. There are dedicated throwers out there, and they're much more satisfying to throw.

Axes too. Just make sure nobody is in the way.

I was thinking this as well.
 
Can you really be that bored?
Why don't you find a nice small twig and peel the bark off of it. Has about the same entertainment value I'd think.
