the "HORROR".............the "HORROR"!
yeah we had BB gun wars. but we were smart enough (?) to wear sunglasses to protect our eyes. during the summers we would build forts, tree forts and dig below ground forts(cool temps). had this one fort that was dug out in ground and had tunnel to alley about 6-8 ft deep and maybe 20 ft long. had places to hide stuff and little cubbies to stash ourselves. on the main hole in ground had 4 4x4 posts and plywood on top covered with dirt and large shooting ports.
well one day the enemy attacked................and we ran out of BB's! they didnt know that as we were crapping our pants. out of nowhere an idea of desperation, took shape. shoot back with the dreaded and i mean DREADED FUNNELATOR! just picture large coffee can attached to 2 pieces of thick surgical tubing. a la giant slingshot! 2 guys holding ends and 1 guy loading grapefruits(low velocity) and tangerines(high velocity). so we started lobbing fruit at them the enemy and this just pissed them off more. our escape tunnel that lead out to alley was uncompromised so we could get plenty more fruit. so the siege began.................!
well our determined foe couldnt make any headway with a frontal assault. we were holding them pretty good. an few BB's here and there thru shooting ports, rocks, dirt clods etc. well after awhile of them getting nailed in torso by the DREADED FUNNELATOR and being stopped in their frontal assault, they became bound and determined to rid the planet of our pesky arses.
well to make a long story short................the next thing we know their are FLAMES COMING THRU SHOOTING PORTS! the enemy had nailed top of fort with MOLOTOV COCKTAILS! which if i remember correctly is against ALL GENEVA WAR CONVENTION RULES! (at least in our neighborhood)
we all got nailed in one way or another.........rolled around to smother flames and bailed out the escape tunnel with our lives!
moral to story................had to explain to folks how most of my hair and eye brows were somewhat burned!
i'll take a BB ROUND ANYDAY!
true story.............i cant make this crap up! LOL!
