Anytime you're throwing around weighted, steel-tipped missiles, well ...<br /><br />I think the closest I came to death as a kid was when I was maybe four? And fell off the back of one of those horse-on-springs things. The back of my head smacked onto the concrete floor of the rec room from a height of about four feet. I blacked out for a while, and when I came to, I was really, really nauseous. Yeah, concussion city. Did the folks rush me to the E.R.? Nope, Mom gave me a cold cloth for the back of my head, parked me on the couch, and called it good. It WAS the seventies, after all. It's a miracle any of us made it out alive.rockygracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457010488015617811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33288643.post-38359407708024053402015-07-20T23:24:31.862-04:002015-07-20T23:24:31.862-04:00Apparently Regent doesn't have the same budget...Apparently Regent doesn't have the same budget as the NRA, or we'd still have them.~~Silkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122262422346224632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33288643.post-89080911364624271862015-07-20T13:25:09.133-04:002015-07-20T13:25:09.133-04:00we had those! for some reason my parents really d...we had those! for some reason my parents really didn't like us playing with them...<br /><br /><br />There is a gentleman on youtube who does videos of shooting things with random objects and he built a high velocity crossbow type thing that shoots lawn darts.

Not lawn darts!" I think I have a vague memory of playing with these as a kid (or maybe watching my parents play). Back when toys could kill. Good times.
