I can tell you the reason for the ban....it is that Cars and trucks were the target of snowballs by hooligans that would throw the balls at cars causing accidents and breaking car windows. It was real problem this was before modern techniques and broken glass was a real danger to the person driving. safety glass was invented 1910 but not used for car windows till 1919 two years after the ban on snowball fights
That’s why God gave us fists.
The worse is when they pack a low yield nuclear weapon inside a snowball.
can you dust a snowball for fingerprints?
“he already knows who his first target will be — his little brother.”
“...members voted unanimously to lift the ban.”
I wonder if one of the board members said “the little $#!@ has it comin’!”
The Boston Massacre started with a snowball fight.
Of course, all the town’s newcomers will have a clear advantage in any fights that occur. The oldtimers won’t have a clue how to pack their ammo, let alone being able to hit their target. And, as usual, the only citizens who have any experience will be lawbreakers. The article didn’t say how the town plans to deal with that. Pretty sure lawyers are already gearing up.
Many years ago, in da yoop, in a university which shall not be named, there was an annual snowball fight. Couple of guys from down the hall brought out a surgical tubing catapult, was great fun ... until some poor kid got his arm broken by a high velocity snowball.
Back in those days some kids we fought with put rocks in their snowballs.
We fought back by putting cactus in ours.
Then came the above ground nuke tests and warnings of fallout in snow...
EXACTLY!!!
Growing up in NYC in the 50s, we self-policed our snowball fights.
Putting ANYTHING inside a snowball was a no-no as were slushballs.
As to throwing at vehicles, cars and buses were off limits as were truck cabs. Truck bodies however, were fair game... especially if there was lettering. Dotting an "I" or centering an "O" or "0" were considered marksmanship achievements.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! REVENGE!!!
“So I went back outside and I spit on him.”
I was sooo disappointed with Bill. But the stories are really funny.
My favorite is Chicken Heart. Jello on the kitchen floor? Hilarious.
My Dad's fave was Revenge. He adopted the word "gunky" and used it for decades. I think I got my sense of humor from him, rest his soul. He was my hero.
