You old enough to remember these squirt guns.

Totally hidden in your your closed hand.

Had probably 6 of them...all taken away by teachers...lol

I had a few...met the same fate as yours.

Bringing back good memories of days gone by!

The old concealed carry squirt gun.Probly not legal any more.

Never seen such a thing lol

Hey Nessy did you clip on a piece of thin cardboard to your bike frame with clothes pins to slap the spokes?

I'm guilty! LOL!

Boco...we were way cooler than that...

We used those long clown balloons....and tied one ,on each side of the front fork.

And when you started going forward...you gently shoved the balloons into the spokes.

Sounded like a Harley !!!!!!

I am guilty also , never did care for playing the Old Maid card game but the cards worked excellent in this application .

Yup

Yes they worked great when I was in school decades ago.

Guilty, but we used baseball cards for our bikes. I probably destroyed cards that would be worth a mint now. I also used teh balloons to get that good "bluc,blub,blub" Harley sound.

Moosy ......I don't know about you...but I lived in Philly 1965 (4th) grade..I was the new kid in class...But at recess all the boys pitched cards against the brick wall. And come to find out...I was pretty good at it. Had shoe boxes full of winnings.

We played ..tops..which was taking turns flinging cards...and if you covered your buddies last card thrown...you won the whole pile.

All kinds of valuable cards ...that disappeared...lol.

Philly was the only school that I was in...that pitched cards.

I was a Navy brat...so I went to a lot of different schools .

In my days (late 50's, early 60's) I was more into comic books than cards. Pitching them against a brick wall (perceived gambling) would have just given the nuns yet another reason to pound me. That problem was solved when they kicked me out of St. Mary's after 7th Grade! Hah!

Used to play a game we called "stretch" with our pocket knifes as young boys. Last one standing won. The modern version would be called "twister " I think. Needed a good lawn to throw the knives into. Mom would yell "you be careful " I don't think that would go over to big nowadays. Lol

We called that "Mumbly Peg" Walt! Turok and Andar played that with poison arrows.

Moosetrot

Don't know how we survived them days Moose! Lol

We would flip the cards and whos card landed player side up won the other card.Also shot marbles.Every boy had a sack of marbles and a pocket knife too incase we wanted to play mumbly pegs.Brought a .22 rifle to school for "show and tell".All the way there on the bus and back.Them days are gone.

Yep they sold those squirt guns in town at the "five and dime" store

Did you guys throw snow balls at cars in winter,
How about Knicky nine doors.

Snowballs in winter, apples in summer....

Moosetrot

Ha,,, Snowballs...
How about bb gun wars?
Lawn darts,,,fist person to move out of the circle lost..

I remember those squirt guns. Were they called green lantern or something like that?
We also shot cards - we played topsies and standsies - a lot of valuable cards were wrecked playing those games!

Also played a flip card game ...where you flung cards against the wall ...and the first one to get a " Leaner" against

The wall...won all the cards on the ground.

Another game was to put a Leaner on the wall...and the first one to knock it down got all the cards.

There would be 5-6 kids playing that game...Tons Of Cards...!!!

Hey upstate....speaking of marbles....was it .." A boot and a Thing "...lol

I told my wife I havent lost all my marbles yet.She said maybe not,,but theres definitely a hole in the bag.

Never saw a squirt gun like that, and at $40 bucks a pop, I'm glad!

They were probably .99 cents back in the day.

Which meant I had to mow 1/2 a lawn for it...

I remember taping Barry bonds, jose conseco tops cards onto my bike. Even if I'd have known, I still would have done it.
Low man on the totem pole= last kid in line laying in front of the jump

For me, that would have been 4 lawns, plus trimming.

"Mumbly Peg" warrior here too. Cards in the spokes but did not know about the balloons though. "Knicky nine doors." that is new to me also......jk

Used to take my worm money down to Bamfords store and buy a big bag of white beans and a plastic pea shooter.and wreak havoc on all my buddies.
I can still taste the plastic burning my tongue
If I felt like splurging I would buy a little balsa wood plane in a bag and if I felt like really splurging I would get the one with the plastic propeller and the rubber band.
