When I was younger .............

...... I used to grab 6 comic book annuals of my shelf, lay then on the carpet tiles in my bedroom in an arrangement that resembled a mini snooker table. The spines of these annuals acted as the cusions. I used the larger type marbles for the pool balls and the wooden stick off a dish-mop as the cue.

Your turn. When I was younger.................

I'm sandwiched in between 2 brothers. I used to pick and prod at them until they would get mad enough at me so they'd have to chase after me to get even with me. Only, I'd already have my get-away planned. So, I'd go screaming through the house to get them in trouble with my mom, and then I'd run into a room and slam the door until it was safe. My mom sad she was onto me though because of the giggling she could hear on the other side of the door.

I used to jump off the apex of the garage roof onto the sandpile in the carport.

Used to love winding my little sister up. When I wasnt doing that they were building a new barrat housing estate just down from where I lived. Needless to say after tear assing down ther on our BMX's (I had a blue raleigh burner with yellow mag wheels) we would turn the builidng site into our adventure playground. Dump trucks, JCB's, scaffolding, wood glue and windows was a good one. Plus those butterfly/figure 8 shaped things they put between the inner and outer wall used to fly really well so we'd throw those at each other and cause damage to ourselves

I used to play near the water and catch frogs, climb trees, (attempt to)catch fish, and light bon-fires on the beach, play hide-and-seek and do other kids-stuff

When I hear about todays youth (even though I'm only 25) it scares me.
Kids at age 12 having an outrageous sex-life and smoking and drinking like they're pro-addicts, DAMN!!...I was still playing with my LEGO at that age!!???

Even though I'm a young fart, I feel the need more and more often to talk about how 'the youth these days' just doesn't seem to have the same moral values and ways to entertain themselves (without a PS2 or X-BOX).

Especially respect for elderly folks and such.
If an old man says something in the cinema to a 14 year old kid who has his feet on the chair, the kid just tells the old man to go F*CK himself. If that would have been me 11 years ago, I'd have apolagized to the man and just removed my feet from the chair...

But then again...maybe I was just raized different...anyone else have an opinion on this??

p.s. The spell checker doesn't recognice the word 'fart'..fix it! :)

....I used to visit my grandparents in Floriday for the summer, catch litttle lizards & pull a tiny part of their tail off and put it in a bowl. Don't really know why I did that...I knew the tail would grow back though.

We used to go to the summer house in New Hampshire and catch polliwogs and newts and make a little "home" for them in our plastic boat. Then release them when it was time to go home.

Now there are very few newts and polliwogs in the pond; nowhere close to enough for kids to catch them. I'm told it's the acid rain.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

My routine would be fairly simple

I'd play soccer then go and play hide and seek with the kids and look forward to watching saturday night live and telling everyone we stayed up till midnight.

I also became really good friends with a girl named Coleen, who was my first kiss when I was 8 or 9.

Did you buy beer?

...We used to light fires in the backyard of our building in Russia and throw exploding compressed gas cans into it to scare the people in the building. Eventually they got bored of it and started ignoring us. We also gave my hamsters flying rides. We would put the hamster on a book or something and run around. They seemed to like it, until one of them fell to his death I never let anyone touch them after that

Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

Yeah, and it's really traumatic when they hit the "Big 2-0"...

Dude, same here. We had a new housing development just down the street from my neighborhood. We'd find the highest thing with a dirt pile nearby and jump into it, usually 2 stories. Guess it was my first taste of BASE (which I still haven't done).

My friend and I would steal some latex gloves from her mother who was a nurse, hunt around the yard and collect dog shit in a plastic bag, and go to store parking lots and stuff the dog shit up underneath peoples' car door handles, hide out and whatch as the fun ensued.

We were mean but it was HALARIOUS.

You were lucky.
I remember the tumbleweed my dad sold to me on my 5th birthday. He told me it was a puppy.
I used to have to drag it up chimneys to pay for my supper.

I used to go to my friends house to swim (in the frigid pool), then we'd all jump out and go lay on the hot cement walkway to warm up. Then we'd all go to my house and lay out in the back yard while watching All My Children - those were the days, we were sooooo cool then!!!

hahaha yeah.. sears..... good stuff.

I used to build forts in every tree I could find, then try to erect rope swings between them. Sometimes my sound planning would go awry.

Or, I'd make it my mission for saturday to get to the top of some ridiculously tall tree, so I'd go into the garage and find the biggest nails I could find (10" spikes), my dad's hammer, and some rope. I'd start at the base of the tree, pound a spike in, step, loop the rope around the tree, and to my waist, lean out, pound in another step, and keep going till I had to climb back down for more spikes. Man I'd hate to clear that lot nowadays.
