I was glancing at WaPo's digital front page and this pic piqued my attention. Even in a war zone, we can behave like dogs! LOL...

In the first photo, it looks like AOC was visiting.

In the second photo, had I done that my wife would've started hitting me with right crosses and left hooks, then divorced me. LOL!

I loved those!
when I was a kid, I got one of these, in toy form. You turned a crank and it shot wooden, rubber tipped bullets by the 10s…hard.
My Dad sprayed me with a volley, some hits, some misses. Mom put an immediate stop to the “fun” as the tips left black marks on the wall….outside only. The bullets were immediately lost, it became a noise maker.
Those we’re the days, danger = fun!

Edit: maybe they had insurance on me?

That just sounds like a good and proper upbringing, right there. 😉

Rubber bands and paper clips...when we couldn't afford slingshots.

Then pieces of scrap wood, rubber bands and paper clips for the assault version. LOL.

And then we graduated to BB guns. And shortly thereafter, we began grabbing the scraps from my buddy's family's carpet store and making body armor with it, cuz those BBs hurt. Within a few years, I'd moved on to petty crime. 😂
 
You had armor!!? Genius! Pain is the great educator.
Teen years, we experimented with pipe bombs. Couldn’t get a proper seal on the fuse hole. Flash bulb detonators were a total flop too. Fortunately.
Its a good thing we didn’t know each other…

We used to have slingshot fights, age 12-14, small rocks only, and wearing jean jackets. My friend stood behind a fence with horizontal boards and kept shooting at me. I fired a huge rock right at the fence to scare him, but it passed perfectly between the boards and hit him in the groin. Instead of a loud smack on the fence, there was a thump followed by a scream. Good times.
