@ChipmunkErnie You`ll put your eye out.

@Degbeme I know -- but I actually wanted one BEFORE the movie came out or Jean Shepherd wrote the short stories. My older cousin had a BB rifle, so I wanted one, too,

@ChipmunkErnie I did too. Never got one.

@Degbeme My grandfather gave me one when I was six years old, along with safety instructions. I loved it, but it burned when our house burned up. Then Santa came through with a new one that I totally wore out over the years.

@exexec You know it might have been for the best I didn`t get one. I was a little shit. 😅

@Degbeme I understand completely. I was tempted, but I knew that if I got caught, the bb gun would be gone forever.
@exexec sorry about your house

@DIABLISS Thanks. We built back on the same foundation, but it took a while for things to get back to normal.
