Reminds me of when we used to make cannons out of coke cans, lighter fluid and tennis balls. Those were the days.

In the 50's we made cannons out 1 1/2 inch pipe, C batteries and cherry bombs. These were dangerous.

They used to flood Fallon Field in Roslindale Massachusetts in the winter ... maybe a foot or so deep ... and it would freeze and ... well ... I think I've seen myself in one of those Currier and Ives paintings.

Rubber ice we called it when it was on it's way in, or on it's way out ... and I took the dare (I think I was in Kinnygaht'n), and I broke through, got soaking , freezing wet, laughed it off(outwardly, 'cause y' can't cry in front of your friends), and 'allowed' my mother to smother me in mother's warmth ...

Aw hell ... I think I'm gonna' cry.

Who started this stupid thread, anyway?

Scared the crap out of the dog across the street so badly that he had to stop. Thank goodness.

Scared me too.
