not to wax nostalgic to much but i met Jerome Bettis back in 1994 who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers(and before that LA Rams) Grandma told me that a football player was bowling with his kid (might've been his grandson) ,so said hi thought he was great (was lying,didn't really follow football much at the time^^)and was able to get his autograph :-)

I've never payed much attention to sports in general. When I was young, I liked auto racing, but that was short-lived. ^^

auto racing is cool,one of the most interesting sub-genres of racing iv'e seen is European truck racing where they just race the kind of the trucks that pull trailers (i think their called tractor trailers) and race them around Grand Prix circuits all across Europe.

Never really cared for sports. Have been only vaguely interested in racing in general. Hint: I used to be type who thought banger racing was entertaining to watch. Beyond that I have played a few now ancient racing games on the computer. Hmmm, I happen to have several Lego racing cars and a race track come to think of it...

Definitely a "daring" game I say lol. But hey, nobody can blame the kids. Kids will be kids and they don't know any better. They gotta blame the parents lmao.

I've played in the street before myself lol. Like when I was a teenager, me and my friend would do the "invisible rope trick" and make cars stop lmao

How's the trick work/go? :o

Edited 2 years, 11 months ago by Owner

Basically two people go to both sides of the street. One stays on one side, while the other goes to the other side. You can do it with one person, but it's preferable with two. And you are pretending to hold onto a rope, even though you really aren't holding a rope. Hence why it's called the invisible rope trick.

And cars will ACTUALLY stop lmao. Some know the trick already, and/or they won't fall for it. Then there are some who will actually slow down and/or stop! And they tend to either honk their horn, roll down their windows and yell vulgar things at you, etc lmao. I remember one time when me and my friend did this trick, one guy slowed down, rolled down their windows and yelled "F--- YOU!!". When he took off we died laughing lol

They were priceless and fun times lol. And it was harmless fun too. I miss those times. I didn't pull a TON of pranks when I was a kid. But when I did they were either down right funny, or down right messed up lol. I kinda was an "innocent" trouble maker when I was a kid.

That really IS miniature golf. One hole, it looks like something that WOULD be on a real miniature golf course, well maybe one down south, and its drawn with a Mini Golf pencil.
Do people collect THOSE pencils as well? Probably for just the location info.

@ KNIFE

lol

If it can be collected, there's a person for it. :3

I myself amn't too interested in golf pencils, though if I happen on a fun or very old one, I'll take it (if the price is right).
The most interesting one I have has 'Golden Horseshoe' written on, in gold lettering on a dark blue barrel. I know that 'Golden Horseshoe' may be generic, but there was a Disney location by that name. Dunno if the pencil came from there or not.

Other than golf pencils, there is the variety I call 'slims'. Slims are very thin, round pencils that were used for advertising (I guess they were cheaper than normal size options).
Slims are fun because they generally have ferrules (unlike most golf pencils).

I have to say that I'm not surprised that it's Tasli that's at the forefront of this game... although I'd be concerned that they are doing it in the middle of the street (or highway). I'm am with Mubba though on this one: I'm deeply disturbed but completely in awe. It's like seeing a chain reaction of a crash... it's awful, but you can't look away.

But what can I say... this is possumly the best use of a possum young kids could ever think of. :D

... is it possum or opossum? lol

Of course I saw the pic before reading the caption and thought, Oh, I remember the days of miniature golf or putt putt, not sure what the differences are between them. Then thought that was an odd possum shaped obstacle. Then realized it was more. Well they didn't kill it, so they are in their own way recycling. Sad that so many of our only native marsupial get hit by cars though I am generally an eagle-eye and have yet to hit one.

If I saw an armadillo it would have to have escaped from a zoo, I live in the northern midwest. But I would look out for them when I travel again.

The middle has become one with the pavement, for the car was quite heavy. ^^

Don't worry---morbidity like this is exceptionally rare for me. Last time I did something like this was around 2020.

The boys can behave darkly at times, though neither is truly evil (not even Tasli). :3

You're being too hard on yourself, there's a difference between lazy and economical.

Draw more porn and the creeps will come to you like flies to crap. You've gotta deal with me already! LOL

Messing with dead animals? Typical for kids to do. Yeah, the'd better watch out for traffic.

Hmmm noodles! *drools*

Enjoy!

Again, you're being too hard on yourself, a lot of comics and cartoons would be censored or rated unsuitable for kids if you keep that attitude up. Hmmm, perhaps my notions of what is considered okay for cartoons and comics intended for kids are outdated.

When I was a 'toddle' ;) it was said that if a boy played with dolls, it was ok, and he shouldn't be picked on for it (remember those 'My Buddy' dolls for boys?).
Moreover, a boy playing with dolls or hosting tea parties wasn't to be thought of as 'a girl' (contrariwise, girls who liked HotWheels, dinosaurs and so forth, weren't to be though of as 'boys').

Today, if a boy has a doll, he'll be given a dress to go with it ...just amazing! :p
