Make me laugh - the PF memes thread - NO POLITICAL MEMES

[Wondering Beard]

This is so true. I’m glad that I didn’t grow up with gaming consoles, the internet, and wokeness. I can deal with all that stuff as an adult, but to miss out on the simple savagery that is a pine cone fight is to miss part of being a kid.

When I was a very little kid my parents gave me a toy trumpet (4?).

From that point on, it was a blunderbuss.

Osage oranges were great offensive weapons.

Every Scouting campout I've ever attended either as a kid or leader.

This is so true. I’m glad that I didn’t grow up with gaming consoles, the internet, and wokeness. I can deal with all that stuff as an adult, but to miss out on the simple savagery that is a pine cone fight is to miss part of being a kid.

Don't forget about dirt clods. Better than a pinecone in so many ways.

Hickory nuts were the premium grenades when I was a kid because when they hit the street or wall near your buddy they “exploded” with the shells producing realistic shrapnel.

Chestnuts were our weapons of mass destruction.

We also used a lot of magnolia seed pods.

Osage oranges were great offensive weapons.

My kids call them "monkey brains."

Last fall I heard my 6 year old son tell my 9 year old daughter over the walkie talkie, "Come quick, I found an entire tree of monkey brains" with the same level of enthusiasm I would have had had I discovered a Beretta tree on the farm.

Ten seconds later I see my daughter running across a field with a 5 gallon bucket to collect their bounty

About 5 minutes later I get the call of, "Daddy, the monkey brain tree has large thorns."

They collected 78 monkey brains that day and piled them up in the middle of their pioneer camp. The picture looks like something out of a mix of the Depression, Lord of the Flies, and the Heart of Darkness.




And just to keep us memeing

My 6 year old has enough stick ordinance stashed around the perimeter to fight off a marauding band of Comanche or a Russian Invasion*.
