@HUNT5M4N Damn. Sounds like me! Even though I'm trying to set that grudge stuff aside to go easier on the old girl [what I call my heart]. Gotta take care of her.
Still, burgers are nice. It's the circle of life!

We lived in a pine forest. My friend and I would choose a young pine tree and climb as high as we could. If we chose well, the tree would bend way over, and we would let go and drop 5 or 6 feet to the ground. If we chose poorly, the tree would bend, but leave us 10 or 15 feet off the ground, making for a hard landing when we turned loose. Thank goodness pine needles on the forest floor were fairly soft.

@exexec That sounds so nice. I don't like heights so typically I wouldn't climb [rare exceptions]. Exception being going climbing and getting weird "I'm considering pushing you from the edge because I'm intellectually curious about how murder feels" look from a sociopath friend I had when he put his arm out to 'help me up'.
Fuck that. I'mma pull myself up, psycho. I still remember that day. Gives me a sick chill every time but glad I didn't fall for it. I'm not making this shit up. Anyone ever have a psycho friend?

Growing up in NI and seeing soldiers come through our neighbourhood during the troubles and approaching a soldier [I'm six at the time for context] and asking him if I can touch/see his gun.
Lucky I didn't get one of those guys that was completely PTSD/fubar...and we lived in one of the nicer neighbourhoods. I still don't think they actually technically should really have been going through that area at all. Dunno if someone crank called them and gave false bomb info or what.
There were two times helicopters flew really alarmingly low too. I am sure one flew so low it caused the laundry on the line to move. Maybe near misses involving drunk soldiers who were about to go full postal? Trainees who nearly crashed? Who knows.
Anyone ever think about stuff like that? [If they had a near miss with a postal soldier/other potentially postal types...not going postal themselves.] Like if you were nearly a fatality on the news for no good reason.

A few friends, my little brother, and I would climb over the fence and swim in the public pool late at night on really hot summer days. We did it for 2 years before we got caught by the cops.
Brought a very sick Canada goose home and put it in the bathtub with the intention of "nursing it back to health".. mom wasn't pleased.
Tried to keep a snapping turtle as a secret pet concealed in my little siblings' sandbox.
Tried to float my sister down the creek in the upturned sandbox lid so she could tell us if it goes to the ocean. (We live in Ohio)

@JamieDeer That's adorable. If I ever have a kid who brought back a sick animal I'd be so happy that's who I'm raising. I would suddenly feel very rich indeed.

We had chairs with fasteners on the bottom that held the seat in place and I used to crawl under it and kept turning them to sides saying I was "working". I did it repeatedly with an act of as if getting dressed and going to work, then "doing the job", then looking at watches and leaving "work". Turning fasteners to and fro was my idea of how it looks like when adults go to work and back home. Sadly, I wasn't that far from the truth in the bigger picture. 😐
In puberty I made anonymous calls to random people we picked from a phone books with friends or cousins.
I washed my hands in cold water for a longer period of time. I couldn't stand warm water on my hands.

@SW-User Weirdos who espouse the virtues of Space God without ever really committing to the Christian way. 🤣
Nah not Narnia [although I thought that was really cool and imaginative too; a talking lion? Yesss.]. Beetlejuice always! To the degree that if I have a daughter she will carry the middle name of Lydia or Barbara. Possible Senora [have to check the spelling on it]. Adam for a son. This is all dependent on charming whoever the hell my future wife is so she agrees to all my demands as man of the house because I give her good lovin'. 🤣
Yeah Adam and Barbara were dying all over again and I felt sorry for them and very sad.
Beetlejuice is kinda just so...girly. I am basically half girl.*
*Not in a trans way or anything which would make life much more complicated I'm sure, on a basic existential level....I was just around women/girls more growing up. Plus reasonably sensitive to begin with.

@SW-User Yeah kinda lol never really hit me before now but also it was before everything was put into neat little categories and focus groups dictating things a little too much [they can be useful though]. Wish they would make more nuts films still. There is still room for experimentation. Some mad bastard will make it into the industry I'm sure, and call a few key shots to prove this in due course.
Another Bob Evans of Paramount type figure would be appreciated. I think Blumhouse tries but kinda hedges its bets a little or aims low of what it could realistically accomplish. Netflix just greenlights anything. Not the same thing y'know? And their budgets/cinematography can really suck unless it is AAA tier i.e. Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul or Stranger Things.
