Things you did as a kid that your kids will never do

via Fark:

Waiting in line for a pay phone, scantrons, drinking from lead laced garden hoses...kids these days don't know what they're missing

We used to ride our bikes behind the bloody mosquito fogger on the bases. Yikes.

Play with sharp pointy sticks, caps, wood-burning toys, indian rubber balls, homemade rickity go-carts, wicked curved hockey sticks and such.

Danger Will Robinson. :lol:

Those beat the hell out of going outside in January to pull it with a rope

That's so you knew it was turning but then again where could you buy bearings that fit U shaped fencing nails and 3/4" galvanized conduit. A piece of crazee carpet would only last so long as a sleeve for a quick fix.

And that's another thing...setting land-speed records on crazy carpets, sans helmets natch. Man them bastards could go. Didn't wanna skip over a rock and graze your tailbone though.

Super Slider Snow Skates...those were good for a concussion or two every winter.

Now that cars don't have bumpers kids will never know the joy of bumper shining.

Crazy carpets were the beginning of plastic childhood, my generation used flat wooden things called toboggans. Skate blades were made of flint.

Nothing beat a 1940 dodge truck hood that was turtle waxed.

Getting up to change the channel. Or, sending your younger brother up to change the channel.

running to the corner store to pick up a package of cigarettes for their parents
