When I had a wagon. I had this bad habit of leaving it smack dab in the driveway, and Dad never looked as he pulled in so he would crush the wagon. Happened twice, the last one was epic. I had a Radio Flyer 1950's, they were built tough, heavy gauge steel , heavy and solid. Dad had a '48 Buick straight 8. A heavy tank. He comes whipping into the drive and runs over the wagon, crushing it but it also got stuck under the car. Forward/reverse, screaming metal, gouging the driveway and he can't free it. He's cussing and yelling and getting angrier by the second. He finally had to jack the car up to free the wagon, hurls it into the front yard. I was terrified lol

It was always best not to piss off that Great Depression/WWII generation.
I dropped a nickel bag of weed on the porch as a teenager coming home one night. Only because I was tripping on liquid 25 at the time. Next day, I find myself at a family meeting and Dad wanted to send me to live with my aunt in Nova Scotia to get me away from the 'bad element' around here.
I guess he didn't think they had weed in Canada. While he was bitching, he told me about the natives in the Phillipines during WWIl walking around 'smoking that shit with glassy eyes'. I avoided being banished to Canada, but I did inquire to friends about if we could get fillipino weed anywhere because it sounded better than what I had. Lol.

What the hell is this Plagiarism crap? I took no credit for this anywhere. I simply posted a thread I read thinking that it was cool. Oh, that’s right you never copy and pasted before huh. Before you go accusing someone of Plagiarism try to at least know what the word means. Half the shit on this site is Plagiarism.

Oh the good times had with a radio flyer.
An enterprising kid could make some change turning in pop bottles for the deposit.
I was helping my dad clean up in his basement recently and found mine sitting in a corner with boxes of stuff stacked on it. Even after all these years it is still serving a purpose albeit just a little bit worse for the abuse I put it through.

We butchered our own meat, made lard, raised an acre of garden and pooped in an out house. Carried water for baths. Had a cistern. And It still sucks.

Plagiarized or not, still worthy of some follow up imo.
-Cooking creatures with a magnifying glass was a go to when bored, starting anything on fire also.
-Climbing trees to the very top made you the cool kid, and hell yes I was cool. Still am and I can prove it! (spouse reads and ups life insurance)
-Two or three kids on a bike was not gay.
-Skin mags were found everywhere's, at least where I lived.
-Baseball cards were coveted and traded but also bought for the gum.
-Toy army men were the shit, so weren't matchbox cars.
-Portable hand held radio's were also pretty cool.

It is basic decency to attribute an obvious c&p job. Just sayin.
