Re: from the Cleveland Ohio area...nonsense

lemme see - <br /><br />Initial reaction ... azzhole overbearing cop, arresting a NINE YEAR OLD KID for chrissakes<br /><br />further thought - how big is this kid? ive seen some BIG kids lately, some near tall as me, and Im over six feet tall!<br /><br />I dunno ... when I was a kid, I went to see Sally Starr decked out in sixguns slung from each hip, they looked real as all hell - but that was the swinging sixties, this is the Awful Aughts ... <br /><br />sure would hate to be a kid these days, guess if you had a roll of caps in your pocket they would arrest you for explosives

LOL @ CastawayRay....roll of cap as explosives. Does anyone remember the Wasp blank guns? Had the little blanks on a ring that loaded into the cilynder of the gun?

Re: from the Cleveland Ohio area...nonsense

I remember those. As for caps I usually rolled them up and got one good BANG out of them with a hammer

I did the same thing with roll caps.

When I was nine, I had a huge toy gun collection, all of the neighborhood kids did, we used to run around the neighborhood armed to the teeth, dressed in camoflauge. Never had a problem with the cops, maybe they were scared.

I love the smell of a freshly used cap gun!<br /><br />BTW, ever tape a cap unto the bottom of your moms high heels before church on sunday? LOL, just be prepared to have to stand the whole time. ;p<br /><br />Also, in spencers( a jag/joke store)you can get these items to place under toilet seat lids. When the lid is lifted the spring connects the two ends. One end has a blank/cap like the old blank guns. You should hear the reactions from the bathroom. Just don't leave one for the middle of the night, unless you want to be woken up by someone screaming.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL, I never saw those in Spencers, I sure as hell would have bought one, lololol<br /><br />dammn, I missed everything!<br /><br />And sure I had those wasp guns, the snub 38 looked EXACTLY like a real gun, albeit in 7/8th scale<br /><br />and I also remember that the roll of caps cost 17 cents at Woolworths, you got five rolls of fifty caps each, and if you unrolled the entire five rolls and peeled the paper off, you could get a tiny pile of gunpowder that would flare quite nicely, but nowhere NEAR as brightly as the pile you could get out of one of the old mans shotgun shells, especially his high brass buckshot loads, lol, he wasnt happy over my "mortar" experiment, where I emptied two boxes of shell powder into a pipe, fuse hole drilled into the end cap, and a ball that fir nicely into pipe (one of his civil war souveniers!) <br />Luckily, I got caught before finishing the experiment, I would have prolly blown myself up with that one<br /><br />other observations made with gunpowder<br /><br />a magnifiying glass wont make enough heat to ignite gunpowder<br /><br />a magnifying glass WILL melt ANOTHER plastic magnifying glass<br /><br />a plastic magnifying glass, and a 1.50 Woolworths glass magnifying glass will not only ignite gunpowder, but it will blister the paint on a 1969 Country Squire with 100 miles on it<br /><br />Gunpowder with leave a ring on wax designed to protect the car from high heat, failing miserably in my book<br /><br />Rubbing compound will eat right thru to primer<br /><br />Repainted hoods never quite match, and parents will spend the entire life of the car, no, the entire life of the perpetrator reminding them of the time, well, never mind<br /><br />I still maintain I wasnt a bad kid, just curious<br /><br />sorta like my curiousity about naturally blonde hair,(the type you encounter after the movie on the first date, lololol) always looks so soft in pictures ... my brunette girlfriend says I better get UN curious, or call her Lorena, lolol<br /><br />well, ok, a little bad, but still misunderstood!<br /><br />
