@BoobooSnafu And there are worst places to get a case of the giggles, like the time I was at the ANZAC service back in school, and this little baby kept making funny noises during the 10 minutes silence.
@Allelse馃ぃ hahaha....I've been there ! Huge Morning service at the cenotaph, hundreds of people, servicemen and Anzacs: the minute of silence and my four year old son says, quite eloquently and clearly...." Mum, need to fart...sorry"
I NEAR BURST! I crumpled to my knees holding my laugh in....only to look up and see about 5 servicemen in regiment next to us , contorting their faces , and going red .馃ぃ
@BoobooSnafu BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's great, at least your kid was trying his best to be polite about it. At that age I would have just farted and been annoyed that we had to stand around doing nothing while some guy plays the tuba. I was a very hyperactive kid.
@BoobooSnafu Hahaha! He sounds like a fun boy. That must have been great to see her there, in her uniform and such. What were you like as a kid? My grandmother always said I was happy and helpful, but I got in trouble a lot at school haha. Always talking and fucking around.
@BoobooSnafu My childhood was pretty awful, but the good times? Were great!!! I'd just take off into the bush behind the house, make up my own adventures. And yeah I was always off doing something.
@BoobooSnafu Like that time me and the girl next door found all these old bottles from the early 1900s down this cave, we lugged tons of the shit back home. We actually found one bottle in tact!!! I got it in storage around here somewhere. \
@Allelse wow. Yeah, kids miss out these days . My most treasured thing i found as a kid is a rock 馃榿
Found it on the beach....it was translucent, and made of rings of colour. Years later I'm talking to a lapidrist at Salamanca , and we're talking rocks ...I tell him of it ...and he tells me this: Coastline usually erodes, but sometimes, very rarely ...a peak of rock may errode to form a hole, but instead of continuing to erode...it collects minerals in the water and fills back in....usually in layers. Then currents change over time , and the rock erodes again , and releases this small multi-mineral deposit.
He said they were rare.
And I have no idea if I still have it . Always wanted to make it into a necklace.
I still beach comb to this day . Always leave with pockets full of rocks 馃榿
@BoobooSnafu Yeah I was always bringing shit home, even as an adult if I find something cool on my walks I bring it home to show the wife haha.
That is so cool!!!! I always loved combing the beach for stuff, like this one time as a teenager I took my little brother, back before he turned into a psycho, on this long walk up to this lighthouse and back and we found all sorts of cool stuff. There's a cave I've visited in the bush that has shells!! Sea shells!!! From when Aborigines used to live in it, and the cave on the other side of the ridge, the dark spooky cave has cave drawings.
@BoobooSnafu It is spooky as fuck down there!!! And not just the cave, but it's difficult to get down into and once you're down there it's very enclosed by trees and the valley. It's like something is slumbering down there, from old times, I dunno and you don't want it waking up.
@BoobooSnafu And considering how batty some of the people who lived on top of that ridge were, I wouldn't be surprised if some leaked out. Everyone who lived on that hill was fucked in the head, I should know, I grew on that hill.
