Did anybody ever do anything in highschool/gradeschool/college that you could never

[SRT_DSTRHOLC]

WWF was a big thing when I was a kid. We use to jump off dressers and suplex each other and all kinds of moves on to mattresses....That would not happen now haha

 

[magnumdust]

do now? When you guys get the chance, I would love to hear some of the lost culture of Americana that you have lived.

Examples might include some of the country bound ole timers might have driven to school with guns in the rear window of their pickup trucks, field-trips, pranks, school activities, snow-ball (?rock?) fights, bike jousting, ridiculous mudding/snow {off-roading} antics, youthful driving (PLEASE NO EGO BATTLES), whatever...

Allot of us rode in the back of pickup trucks, & station wagons.

My first father used to let me steer (drive) the vehicle we were in when I was five-could never happen now in today's society.

The grandparents would give me a box 22 long rounds or 410 shells with rules like you can't shoot towards the road or house or sky. You had to be able to see what you were shooting at - all while too far away to be saved if the predominant rattle snakes were all over in the brush were to strike me. -before age 8

In my early teens we used to work the corn fields in the mid-west, we used to bushwack and beat each other with corn stalks or cultivate the farmers' illegal crops...{no worries of those in the know, when the federal agents asked me if i ever cultivated ____, this is one of the things I confessed to, so, it's in my record} -We made good money, as much $16 an hour in the late 80's. It was more than MANY MANY jobs would pay for years later.

Happy holidays

Nothings really changed here. The only difference between now and then was that i was more open to doing very stupid things(like riding in the back of a lifted truck as it did triple digits through a section of hills). But that was illegal then too. lol

Oh Boy, pretty much everything and some that the only reason I could tell about it would be that the statute of limitations has run out.

Guns
Cars
Motorcycles
Explosives
Heavy equipment
Cops
Explosives that cops got to close to.
Hand grenades alcohol and weed

I would have been labled a terrorist for sure.

My last day of high school, we had a test first thing in the morning, then had a couple hours free, followed by another test, then a couple more hours free, followed by graduation practice. Then that night there was the spring concert followed by senior supper. In the free times we tapped the keg and started partying. Then we were cruising around and I was riding around in a 70's Camaro(don't remember whos)but he back up the school sidewalk up to the flagpole and proceeds to spin the tires down the sidewalk.

The night of my junior prom when I was 17, I had my step-mom's 1976 Corvette Stingray, and I picked up some friends (yes, plural) and we went and had our own party. Eventually, I had six people (including me) in this car as we drove through town. I was in the driver's seat, someone else was in the passenger seat, someone sat on the center console, someone was crouched down in the luggage area behind the seats, and the other two were sitting on the roof where the t-tops were supposed to go. Thank God we didn't get seen by a cop. My dad would have sh*t a green brick SIDEWAYS!!!

High school,81-85 ,Cali. Smoking area,fist fights,hitting on girls,and getting away with it.(on campus).The better parts: Beating on teacher's cars,and getting away with it.(auto shop teachers,ex racers..), Stoplight to stoplight street racing.Watching something built incorrectly, blow up.(C'mon you liked this,with old junk!). Practical jokes... Found my lowered Datsun truck shoved in the wood shop paint booth,lol. Retaliated,with swiping all four tires off the wood shop protagonist's ride. Of course,it was on a Friday,and he had a hot tie to date...

 

[rlevs]

I did grow up in a rural area, a lot of the plow jockey's drove their tractors to school. Having a gun rack in a truck was very common. Smoking area at school, you better believe it, this is (was) tobacco country! Cruising and shooting bottle rockets at each other. Mailbox baseball, running into or hiding in the girls locker room after girls gym. Setting chickens loose in the school halls, building a 6' snow "wall" in front of the doors of the school so that no one can get in. Collecting all the realtors "for sale" lawn signs and making a fence out of them around the front lawn of the school. Drag racing on a nice wide straight stretch on a country road. Buying a case of "little kings" and sitting at the drive in watching 2 movies and getting plastered. Going thru the "drive thru" pony keg backwards, flipping license plates upside down or backwards.
Yeah, I lived in the country, we didn't have lot to do, so boredom could make us creative. A lot of the stuff we used to do then, you couldn't get away with now because of cameras. Looking back, my friends and I were asshole's, especially to one guy in particular. The poor janitor at my high school cleaned up a lot of messes we created. So, sorry Red!

One time in college I didn't have class the next day, so I went to the bar. A table full of people invite me to help finish off a pitcher, then invite me to go to another bar, then invite me to go to an apartment, they pass around a joint(no problem when I declined)then at 5am the next morning they give me a ride back to the dorm. My roommate had a royal fit, "what if they had tried to kill you or something?" "Guess I wouldn't have done that again"
