Oh boy! I remember the stick flinging. Did you ever freeze a snowball in your freezer and threaten to bring it out during a snowball fight? My mom was none too pleased when she found one wedged behind the ice cube trays. I think that was sometime in July (I had forgotten about it). Sadly she tossed in the sink otherwise it REALLY would have gotten a reaction from the neighborhood 'gang'.
We used to raid the medicine chest and try to crush up pills and mix it up with Pepto to try to kill ants. We thought we were coming up with some poison, but I think they just drowned in the thick pepto.
We also used to 'borrow' my mom's hairspray and do the flame thrower thing with the ants. For some reason ants were a favorite target of my brothers and I.
I too used to bike forever and a day w/o a helmt. heck there was an old abandonded skateboard park down the hill from my house. There were stagnant pools of water, the furnance and stove from the concession stand sitting in the middle, graffitti everywhere, rusty nails, etc. We would take our bikes and do jumps around all the debris. Not sure mom knew about that place.
LOL, yep, we used to freeze snowballs but due to the defrost cycle on the freezer they'd end up just like a flat "ice frisbee" by July. We threw it anyway ::laughing::
