Games of our youth

huge zipline. We took the front fork/handlebars off a bike and took the tire off the rim. That sucker was probably 20 ft high up a huge pine tree. The only problem is the cable we found wasnt long enough so we spliced 2 together. It held together for months. But broke apart when I was on it. I thought I died that day.

You did. You're in purgatory now. If Dork comes back, you'll know you made it to hell.

Smear the queer was one of my favorites, played it at school all the time.

At home bc I lived in a neighborhood with a lot of woods, trails and lakes, we would wait till dusk, put on all black attire and play foxes and hounds late into the night on weekends. Lots of great memories.

Spin the bottle and 3 minutes in heaven were also consensus favs when the hot girls from the neighborhood were around.

When I was 13 I couldn't last 3 minutes in heaven.

Smear the queer
Wall ball/spread eagle/butt ball. Take your pick of names
Knicker knocking
Bicycle chicken at night with no lights.
Shaving cream on windshields and back windows. Got in big trouble for that one once when a buddy's older sister reported it. Got lucky when I was forced to go clean it up because it started to rain and it's saved me the job
Mooning anybody who would look

Well, if we're talking pranks:
1. In HS We teepee'd a friends house with 160 rolls we stole from a local college, and we waxed all car and house Windows we could reach. They were out of town, due back the next day. He found out who did it and paybacks were almost as brutal (i.e. A load of manure dumped in the driveway, blocking moms car from leaving).
2. One snowy eve after a snowy weekend, three of us in HS took out 62 snowmen and an igloo. We were driving from neighborhood to neighborhood looking for snowmen to demolish, acting likes LBs. Thankfully none of them were built around a pole or mailbox, something we thought about, afterwards.
Alcohol may have been involved in both cases.

Lots of football, water skiing, "Junior Museum", sinkholes, bike riding in the woods and hanging with these guys with life-like hair and kung-fu grip:

We had 7 minutes in heaven versus 3 for some reason.
7th grade at a party I got picked to go in "heaven" with Terri and she had been eating Doritos.
In high school she was a softball player, Copenhagen/Skoal user and had no interest in boys...NTTAWWT.
Due to my ineptitude - I like to think I had something to do with that

That truly made me laugh out loud. Good one.

My best friend had a balcony off his room facing the backyard. We set up obstacle courses in the yard, stood on the balcony and shot his bb gun at each other while running the course. It was our version of American Gladiators.

I also use to play a lot of commodore 64..the best gaming system ever. Archon, MULE, doesn't get much better than those games.

 

[MidwestChomp]

My parents still have those stashed in the basement. My brothers and I introduced these to our kids.

Original lawn darts. We played for hours.

We used to get on our roofs and throw darts back and forth from house to house when I was around 13 did it for weeks with no problems till one day I took one in the back. I remember pulling it out jumping off the roof and thinking my dad was going to kill me once he found out what we were doing.

I remember making homemade fireworks as well. I stole my mom's van when I was 14 and drove it to the gas station took a popcorn can that had the 3 different flavors filled it with gas and threw 3 cans of hairspray in it drove it down the street with a friend and lit it on fire and ran. It made a huge fireball and put a huge hole in the road. Got very lucky cause there was woods on both sides of the road we could have burned down hundreds of acres.

Sounds like fun kev
