Ok, stop analyzing us and tell us what you mean ! :D
 
Set anything and everything on fire
Get far too excited about fireworks
Eat an assload of sugar, get hyper, pass out in a chair
Fall asleep outside piled up with the dogs
Wonder into the woods with .22
Make lean-tos
Pranks. And more pranks
Act shocked then laugh when people considerably older than me swear
Sing loudly whatever words pop into my head
Sitting in the living room floor and playing with "man barbies" (changing firearm furniture, sharpening knives, organizing tool box)
Giving my wife and mother flowers I found in the woods
Washing my face and hands in mud puddles
Never, ever using a paper towel or napkin, and simply wiping my hands on my pants
Drinking from the hose
Wearing the same filth-caked clothes for days on end
Get far too excited about cookies and milkshakes
Trying weird soda flavors and combinations
Making weird-ass sandwiches and food combinations

Mallow Cups and YooHoo for lunch
Walk to the top of ever hill I find
Throw rocks in water
Throw rocks at co-workers
Throw rocks off banks, gullies, cliffs
Make random, odd noises when bored
Kick/stomp mud puddles
Pissing and moaning when I have to wear nice clothes
Refusing to tuck my shirt in
Refusing to comb my hair
Laugh when I get hurt
Laugh when others get hurt
Refuse to watch a movie where the dog dies
Seriously consider making the living a room a mattress covered furniture fort
Try to stay up late and watch scary movies (and fall asleep 10 minute into them everytime)
Refuse to dress appropriately for the cold
Wriggle away form my wife when she puts sunscreen on me
Put off taking a shower until the last minute
Have a favorite shirt that I want to wear everyday
See a creek means it is compulsory to get in the creek and flip rocks over, looking for crawdads and other mudbugs
Imagine any and all tools and items as melee weapons
A job involving destroying something? I'm in.

And just what is wrong with eating the center first???? o_O;)
 
Video please. I think watching that would be a hoot. :p

The foot stomping might be hilarious but, the banshee shrieking might be a bit unsettling.

Spouse can usually see that I am about to boil over and all he has to say is "Don't get all stompy foot on me!" I laugh, the subject is changed and we move on.
 
Making weird-ass sandwiches and food combinations
Fluffer-Nana-Nutter Sandwich ... marshmallow fluff on one slice of bread ... peanut butter (chunky!) on the other ... and a ripe slices of banana in the middle. If you want it really sweet drizzle Herseys Chocolate Syrup over the banana. I suggest have a tall ice cold glass of milk with it. If you don’t go into sugar shock you’ll at least be hyper an running around for a couple hours ... just like the good old days.

I think it would be easier to name what did change:

Snow is now a dreadful event
All that stupid stuff my parents were telling me is now important
Coffee took the place of chocolate milk in regards to being an all day beverage from the heavens
Eating an entire pizza now has physical repercussions
Lawn equipment is far less exciting when you're the jerk that has to repair and maintain it
Naps are no longer a punishment, but you'll never get the chance to take one now

Glad you posted that ^^^^^ because I’ve been reading these posts thinking sadly there’s not one thing I do as an old fart that I did as a kid.

I still launch rockets
Read sci-fi
Read tons, period
OK, go to the library :)
WATCH sci-fi
Watch military flicks, whether fictional or documentary
Work in the yard :rolleyes:
Clean the house, wash dishes :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Ride a bike (I dress different, though)
Wonder what kinds of ways the world can go to hell (I was in my teens during the 70s/cold war)
Churn ice cream
Eat my comfort foods - warm grits, cold peaches (not together)
After cleaning stuff up, rest and look at it before it gets all dirty again
Say yes sir/ma'am, no sir/ma'am to my elders (though that number is sadly decreasing :( ) (old habits are hard to break)
Wish I had a C3 Corvette
Wish I could talk to my great-grandparents some more
Dislike wearing suits and ties (I wore them more back then, for 4-H and for church)
Sweat in the heat!

Were you one of those who read encyclopedias (I did)?

...Say yes sir/ma'am, no sir/ma'am to my elders (though that number is sadly decreasing :( ) (old habits are hard to break...)

I say "Yes sir/ma'am" to those much younger than I when they are in positions of authority above mine.

Um...um... :oops: yes, dammit :D

We had a set of Funk & Wagnalls. It was the source for many a homework report. The big danger for me was that I would pull a volume out, look up whatever the assignment was...and get to reading much more interesting things nearby...so reports took MUCH longer to research than they should have...
