And if you load a super soaker with holy water, you can credibly be accused of attempting to assassinate Hillary Clinton.

...accused of attempting to assassinate liquidate Hillary Clinton.

I just had to fix it.

My childhood Christmas presents were cap pistols with rolls of caps. Also got cowboy hats and shirts. Roy Rodgers was my favorite TV show. My Aunt got me a Wondor Horse spring rocking horse in 1960 for my 2nd birthday.

The spring rocking horse is still in my garage gathering rust. The only childhood toy I ever kept. The kids in the neighborhood loved it 20 years ago when my daughter was little girl.

Haha, yes! Later in life, my Dad used to carry a tile knife — Dickies work pants with deep pockets.

My Dad was a WWII combat veteran and career Army. When we were stationed in Germany during the Cold War, he kept his helmet, web gear, and 1911 sidearm in the entryway closet shelf. The dependents had to have one packed suitcase for everyone in case of evacuation.

Critical thinking skills are a bit like a muscle. If not used on a regular basis, they atrophy.

Liberals demonstrate atrophied critical thinking all the time.

There is a reason the word ‘libtard’ has come into our vocabulary.

libtard
noun

/libˈtärd/

1. an individual, whose thinking process has been
rendered impaired by political correctness and the
failure to understand that people are responsible
for their actions and the world does not owe lazy
or stupid people a living.
That libtard voted for someone with no qualifications to be president and now everyone is losing his old health care coverage

Get that rocking horse renovated — for your grandchildren and great grandchildren!

Roy and Dale are buried at the Sunset Hills Memorial Park & Mortuary at the Northeast end of Apple Valley, CA in the high desert. There is a chapel named after them on the grounds that their donations partially helped to build; completed after their deaths. When I’ve visited, few, if any, people at their modest gravesite, except me. Lots of roads & landmarks named after them in Apple Valley and nearby, but generations are losing memory of who they were — the first truly international celebrities.

"And, what will get me censored, is that we divided into teams, and somebody would be the “Japs” or “Jerries” as the bad guys.

Shocking..... when we played it was the Nips and Krauts.

Neon orange and green are good hints that it’s not a REAL gun, but a squirt gun.

we used to put apples on the ends of sharp sticks and fling them at our neighbor kids because we we're having a "war"...

and I guess sling shots are out...

no squirt guns...

no bb guns..

no riding in the back of a truck..

no piling 8 people in a station wagon without seat belts..

no drinking from a hose..

no catching minnows in the "crik" below the dump to use for bait...

You Marines called your DI's, "Yes Sir!"

Army DI's were, "Yes, Drill Sergeant!"

I never bought my son any kind of toy gun. I did, however, at a very early age, teach him to shoot with my guns. We’d go out into the back yard and shoot pistols at a steel “dueling tree.” I was an avid reloader and he would assist me with that, as well.

I just bought a huge supply of water guns for my grand kids for the summer. Of course all of them that are past their 5th birthday (the magical age in our family) also shoot real firearms so pretty sure they know the difference.

Your thoughts?

I think a good alternate title would be...
