cool beans dude
i remember boy scouts, football, wonder, and pain
i once tried to ride a semi-wild pony named sugar
that did not go as planned
some of the stuff i remember may have happened at 11, 13, 14, 15
middle of the night raiding party to the girl scout camp looking for underwear to run up the flagpole
never thought to mess with the girls
got caught, but, the punishment could not have been severe as that part of the event i do not remember
it seems there was a snickering scout master, i could be wrong
i remember three day canoe trips down the nueces river
i remember swimming a measured mile thinking no big deal, but about half the troop couldn't do it
i remember learning, intimately, about poison ivy, prickly pear cactus, and rattlesnakes
jumping spiders were cool
head injuries were normal and frequent
when you chop the head off a cottonmouth the snake coils, hisses, and dies
i learned to water ski, i am still very good at it
i watched but never accomplished noodling of catfish
daddy and his friends had a 200 meter beach seine and we caught all sorts of fish, shark, stingray, and garbage on padre island
i used to play with the lil sharks in the shallow water after they had the fight taken out of them by lying on the sand for a few minutes
15 years later, the movie jaws sucked all that right out of me, scared me poopless
portuguese man-o-war sting like fire ants, but at the time i was unaware of fire ants
i am now aware of fire ants
i cannot remember how old i was for my first kiss but i do remember the horror
took three weeks to rid my lips of the cooties
i made and flew model rockets, model airplanes and ho scale cars
i remember sand everywhere
i remember fishing
i remember surfing, LOL, the gulf of mexico stinks for waves
i remember sneaking playboy and hustler and penthouse around
i remember seeing a computer that filled a room in the laboratory where dad worked
it had it's very own air-conditioning system and i got in trouble for bending, folding, and mutilating a punchcard
never got to go see the big computer again
thank you for all these lovely memories, k11
and
since i now realize just how olde i am
up yours, k11

I bow to your liberty in this matter Stees 😉
Just your poster of Justin Bieber
@ghost-of-a-duke saidyou've misspelled "over-the-top"
You seem a little obsessed with Dive.
Age 12
At the age of 12, I was the junior county champion [Hertfordshire] at judo in my weight class and one of the three or four best judoka of my age in Britain and I was well known in judo circles. I'd been involved in the sport for four years at that point, and six years later it all came to an abrupt end when I realized that the university judo team training sessions were going to interfere with my plans to get drunk and play pool and darts.
@Kevin-Eleven
I remember that 12 was a good age for my children and grandchildren - the calm before the storm.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidOn the contrary, dive seems a little obsessed with me. As do you and the other ne’er do well in the Trolling Trio.

@fmf saidYour university experience reminds me of my son's. He was scouted by 3 universities and offered football (not the soccer kind) scholarships from two of them. He, like you, decided that should he accept one he'd miss out on those same things and ended up going to one of them but not on a scholarship.
