Huaco Kid Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 There's a lot of things they won't let me do, so I don't become habituated to humans. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minervadoe Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 And, here I thought this thread was about those guys that smear a dirty rag on your windshield at stoplights and then ask for money. But, instead, who knew that cars were rolling salt licks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar_ml Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 no offense, but if a moose wants to do something, I'm not about to get in the way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 As kids, if we found a particularly large and nicely formed salt crystal in the road during the winter, we'd carry it around and lick it like a popsicle. Besides how many bulldozers, trucks, shovels, chemicals added, and being in the road for weeks, it was considered safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 We had kids here licking the windows of a restaurant just to bother the customers. Then it suddenly stopped. Rumor was that the owner used roach spray on the windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 My fingers and toes were permanently ruined from one time playing pond hockey. It was a pond. We'd take our skates and sticks on the school bus, and later have the guy drop us off halfway home, in the middle of a cornfield It was a great pond, with, usually, very thick ice. Except for that end, where the spring came in. Where the spring came in, had a hole exactly the size of a puck, so, of course, the puck went in the hole. Pond-hockey kids only ever have one puck. You'd think we would always be better prepared. One guy went to dig the puck out. Then two guys. Then three. Then seven of us. At the cheesy end of the pond. Then we all broke through. Up to our waists. It was blow-suck. Home was only a mile, and two hills over, with immediately frozen feets. So... we could just sit there and cry. Or go home. You get more sympathy when you cry in front of Mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Ruined my pinky-toes forever. They're still dead. My fingers are all ruined. They get dead-white when it's almost cold. (but riding motorcycles at -5*, for many winters might have applied to that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Mom's sympathy went as far as "Put your feet in the warm bathtub!" "And here's some cold hotdogs." She didn't appreciate the subtleties of true hockey. Like Tie Domi. It was lost on Mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Mom once came into the living room and said, "WHY IS THERE BLOOD AND BANDAGES ALL OVER THE UPSTAIRS BATHROOM?!?" Then I showed her my ripped-up dirt-bike-crashed back, all covered with blood and bandages. She said, "Well, go clean it up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 And 1000 times, at -5*, we played hockey, and afterwards, all the Moms would say, "YOUR HAIR IS FROZEN SOLID!!! GET IN THE CAR BEFORE YOU DIE!" That's just Mom-Fake. They have to say that. They don't really care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 All we needed was a towel, to wipe off... And then go to the skating rink, for the next 10 hours. The girls liked our frozen hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Like Slash. But our hair was, appropriately, a little bit 70's gayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
