close. I used to tear the legs off of grasshoppers and throw them into spiders webs. You know the funnel web spiders? The ones where spider is out of sight until something drops as web?

yep....that too. soon as the grasshopper hit the web and kicked....
that big ass black spider came out of nowhere and pulled his ass in like it was a child being snatched off the street.....lol.

i remember me and my friends used to go out and catch grasshoppers.......tear their legs off and then throw em in a disturbed ant bed.
or put the grasshoppers in a bottle and light matches and throw them in the bottle too....and screw the top on. then we'd sit and watch them die from smoke inhalation.

and the favorite of all.......taking a magnifying glass or some bifocal glasses and burn ants with them mufuckas...
:lol::lol::lol::lol:

DAMN, ya'll some harsh mofos, the most we used to do was catch bees in a wide-mouth bottle by putting a flower in first, bringing the bottle up underneath the bee & then putting the cap on quick, we would just keep them for a few days before releasing them, the fun/sport was in catching them in the first place, the more you could catch IN THE SAME BOTTLE, the better/more respect you got from everyone else!

:cool:

i remember watching this tv show(couldnt remember if it was Consumer Reports or Fight Back!) where they tried to recreate that same experiment in a recording studio..the singer(they hired a Black dude instead of the singer in the first commercial) had hit the same note,but didnt break the glass..did it at least five times but was getting visibly angry each time the camera zoomed in on his face(it was a split screen with him and the glass) it was like:

I NEED YOUR LOOOOOOOVVE!!!

:mad:
I NEED YOUR LOOOOOOOVVE!!!

:angry:
I NEED YOUR LOOOOOOOVVE!!!

:furious:
I NEED YOUR LOOOOOOOVVE!!!

:pain:
I NEED YOUR LOOOOOOOVVE!!!

Dirt ball fights, yes dirt balls. that were hard ass rocks, one hop (a form of baseball here in the dirt souf). Hide and go get it with the neighborhood girls, kick ball, dodge ball. Then when the neighborhood kids would leave for the Summer I'd get bored ass fuck and started playing with fire

in DC we called that throw & tackle. I was a beast at it but MAN i used to come home tired.

Throw Up Tackle was the shit.
Sometimes after the ball hit the ground....niggas be circled around it.....scared as fuck to pick it up.
As soon as a nigga made a swipe for the ball, his ass got gang tackled by everybody.

Used to light a plastic hanger on fire, turn off a cider block from the back steps and terrorize all the rollie pollie bug living under there. The sadistic entertainment was enhanced by the sound the flaming plastic dripping then sizzling when it hits one of those fuckers trying to running away. :lol::lol::lol:

Ya'll don't know shit about taking the insides out of an ink pen and putting two spit wads inside of it and using a hanger to push the wad on one end to the other side. The pressure would build up and that wad would go out of the other side with a loud pop and much force....

maybe this wasnt a big deal for some of ya'll, but learning to be quick to switch channels on the television whenever trailers like these popped up



that mutated bear...

:lol:

playing football in the street around cars that were parked there and we allowed you to be tackled on the sidelines. a couple of broken arms were not uncommon.


************

Let me break it down from a 80's baby

2. Drinking out the faucet with the green hose(had to wait until the water cool down first)


no hand sanitizer to be found. you picked up a hose that was laying on the ground for days and drank from it. half of the time you were stealing your neighbor's water.

:lol:

***********

The candy lady who use to sell these. We use to call them "flips" or "frozen cups"
acfc517d441e9fa6398ae62477f7af34.340x453x1.jpg

chilly beers

1 cup was .25 at some houses. then the lady down the street would find out and drop her price to .10. sometimes you would go to the house to buy and they would say that they were not ready. they just put them in the freezer so you would be like i don't care it is hot outside and i want one. so you would get a partially or unfrozen cup of kool aid...basically you paid .25 for a drink.

Nah buddy, in the REAL projects here in NYC you COULDN'T dry your clothes outside (what if you lived on the 12th floor?), in my PJs we had a rack similar to the one below that was in the bathroom over our bathtub that had a drawstring on it, it normally sat around chin level, once you hung your clothes on it you pulled the string and raised it up to the ceiling, you took showers with it in the raised position, and a couple of times as a kid I actually took baths with clothes STILL on the line!:yes::lol:
