I have spent years searching for an activity stupider than tetherball. To date I have failed to do so.

Two Big Macs, a large fries, and a coke for $1.10 in 1971.
Flying to Denver on United Air Lines with a 30-06 and 40 rounds of ammo in a soft case as carry-on. Wouldn't fit in the overheads so I kept it with me by my seat. I was 16.
Buying 1903A3 Springfields, .30 cal. carbines, and M1911 .45 ACP handguns through the mail from the DCM for $19.95 each.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
In junior high we had three big ropes hanging from the girders in the gym with big knots on the bottom. I think they were probably ten feet apart. The knots were big enough that you could kinda sit on them and swing. There was about a two or three foot tail below each of the knots.
I was pretty light so I’d get on one and once I got swinging pretty well by myself my buds would grab the tail as it started swinging back up, then momentum would pick them up and then as it came back down, they’d give it a hard yank which would add to my speed. 😁 I would just about get parallel to the gym floor and almost up in the girders. Yee haa! What a ride!😳
That was all well and good but one day in PE we got all three ropes going at the same time, trying to see who could go the highest. I wasn’t on a rope that day but somebody got out of sync and two guys collided. They hit the gym floor hard and unbelievably nobody was seriously hurt. Coach found out about it and that was the end of that……..as long as anyone was watching 😁

Heating water on the stove to tote out into the backyard so that momma could pour it in the washing machine, and afterward having to turn the crank on the wringer for her while standing in the mud puddle from draining the washer. RB
I don't remember the hydrogen airships but the Army used to have a former airship hanger on the airfield at Ft. Knox. I helped cover the Medevac mission out of that hanger in1990 for Desert Shield. I wondered around through it but I could not go up the stairs to the top level. Those stairs were covered by an iron gate with padlocks. I really wanted to go up those stairs and see what it was like to have been able to look down on an airship.

For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR. American conservative. Never trust a white liberal. Malcom X Current NRA member.
I remember ‘Lucky Strikes’ at 20 cents a pack or $1.70 a carton in the PX at Fort Carson—Tuesday nite special rum and coke a nickel a glass. At that elevation it didn’t take many.
I remember a couple parties in Colorado Springs where young soldiers stationed at Fort Carson were offering to sell me C4 and claymores. They were serious!
P.S. Just for the record I didn’t buy anything. I got away from them PDQ.
