    Not sure. Lets just say I found out exactly when my older brother got real feeling in his nuts. I thought "Awsome my new secret weapon!"

    My brother was messing with me and wouldn't leave me alone in the back of my dads pickup on a trip one time and I took my hard plastic guitar and hit him as hard as I could right on the nose. He started bleeding all over the place and screamed like a girl and my mother opened the back sliding window and freaked out at all the blood. I was rather proud of myself until my mother got ahold of me.

    One time he took all my GI Joes and buried them in my dads garden and I lost alot of them so I had to get revenge. I hate snakes by my brother REALLY hates snakes. So I went to school the next day and forced myself to grab one of the snakes that would always sun bath out back of school and brought it home. I told my brother I had a surprise in a paper lunch sack and opened it up and shoved it in his face when he went to look in. He screamed and started crying and hauled * to the bathroom and locked the door. There was a gap underneath the door so I took the snake by the tail and let it under the door. Haha it was so funny he was screaming and crying like a little girl standing on top of the toilet. Then my mother got ahold of me and beat me blue haha.

    Hey he was 6 years older then me. There was other things but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I used to be a little poop when I was younger with lots of spirit.

    my sister was always coming into my room and I kept telling her not to. but she did it anyways. so I got a whole bunch of needles and stuck them in the carpet so next time she walked in they'd poke in her feet. I sat there waiting. heh heh.

    after a while my dad called. lunch time! oh boy! I jumped up and ran out of the room. that's as far as I got, cuz I had about 20 needles stuck in my feet.

    When I was five years old my parents bought me a real banjo (well used). I would set on the front porch, along with other neighborhood kids, and pick at it like I knew what I was doing. One day one of the kids was playing with it and when I asked for it back he threw it down, stomped on it, and ran home. A few days later he got a new bike for his birthday and I saw him riding it up and down the side walk. I got mom's broom and at an opportune time, I ran outside and stuck the broom through the spokes of the front wheel as he sped by. Needless to say, the bike came to a sudden stop, the kid fell off the bike and skinned himself pretty good, and the front wheel was ruined. Mom couldn't bring herself to whip me given the circumstances and somehow my dad didn't punish me either. The other parents must have felt some guilt since they didn't make a stink of it either.

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    I remember breaking a wooden toy rifle across my cousin's head when I was about 5. I can't recall now what the reasoning was and I'm not too sure it was clear at the time, either.
    I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

    Beat the crap out of a kid for passing out Nazi literature out at school. Principal made me write a 1000 word essay on the freedom of speech...which I ended with the sentence "Of course that doesn't mean you won't get your butt kicked for saying it!!!"

    Age 6 I sank my Uncles 18' speed boat. Pulled the plug and watched it go under.

    Age 7 Flooded my Grandma's house working on her toilet. That was a double beating.. Grandma and parents.

    Age 8 took the .22 automatic out of the gunrack with the neighbor boy and shot up at least 500 rds of ammo at junk cars. Was that fun. Dad beat me real good on that one. Never did find out what it cost to pay for all the cars we shot up. Neighbor kid had a bolt action. He couldn't shoot them as fast as I could.

    I was either 4 or 5 years old, during the summer of 1955 or 1956.

    Dad was painting the house white with pink trim & would not let me help
    Mom & Dad were sleeping in late that Sunday morning, Myself I was up a 6am.

    Myself, being a nice thoughtful kid had noticed that the "Red Painted" porches were always cooler on the bare feet during the hot summer.

    So I took the "Pink Trim" paint and painted 2 of the neighbor's porches, to help them out, and keep their porches cooler.

    Also one neighbor had a new 56 Pontiac Chieftain, I also thought I looked better with Pink stripes also.

    Don't know what it cost the poor old dad, but I was never allowed around paint again.[:0][:0][:0]

    I was about 4 and my buddy and I fed a bunch of geese their own eggs.

    When they returned back to their nests they went nuts.

    mean thing to do but we thought they'd be appreciative![:o)]

    As a former juvenile delinquent I have a long list.

    One thing I did which was just plain mean was to dump out all the drawers of the card catalog in the school library. It took them months to put them back in order. They weren't smart enough to make me do it for punishment.

    we had a storage closet next to my sisters room well the storage closet was unfinished so me and my Buddy's drilled small holes in the walls to see into the room. then when ever her friends would come over to get ready for a date or some other thing i would get a eye full of her friends. and for the right price the neighborhood kids would to. made a lot of money that summer until she decided to change the posters on her wall and noticed the three holes that were drilled into the wall. i was 12 at the time.

    Buddy and I would tie a stuffed animal dog to the end of our fishing line, put the dog under a bush across the street from his garage, then lie in the garage at night with the door open just enough to get the dog under it, and then when cars would come down the street, we would pull the dog out in front of the car, and then quickly into the garage so they wouldn't reallize it was fake. Had one truck hit the gas and mow it down one night.

    Uncsrewed the hinges on the front screen door, using only the return spring to hold it in place. Startled my pa so bad when it fell in his face that he took a swing at it and broke the frame on one side. Got my butt beat for that.

    When I was nine I took a bb gun off of my dads gunrack while home alone. I shot my sisters 68 javelin. Not much damage, but in the second round the drivers window blew out. I put the gun back on the rack and got lost for a while. When dad saw it he just figured that the heat of the dat must have been the culprit. Never got caught for that one.[:I]

    ...way too many to remember. One good one was when a bunch of us ended up sleeping over, we would get an old lamp elec cord. Then with the ends stripped back a couple of inches on both wires; we would wrap each wire around around each big toe of the poor victim that was asleep...then plug it in. Boy, would they wake up quick!

    ...Of course wrapped loosely their frantic kicking and thrashing would always knock the wires off their toes...we would always "plug" and run to a "safe" distance, ahhh, the good times...[:D]

    ..School assembly in the gym. Stuck M-80 fuses through lit cigarettes and hid them around the stage area. I was at the other end of the building by the time they went off.

    ..Ag shop. Welded a whole bunch of wrenches to the welding tables.

    ..Brush killer in a sprayer on the school lawn. Some very creative writing.

    ..There are some that I can't/won't talk about.

    Locked the wood shop teacher in the 'wood room' ... and went to
    lunch[:D]

    ... he never know who did it - fished around for the major clues
    of our identities but never was able to figure it out!

    ... of course, we all enjoyed giving him a lot of bogus clues, too![}:)]

    ... better - more dramatic/immediately satisfying - was when we
    clamped off his air hose to the shop compressor ... but that's
    another (and more explosive) story![:D]

    I don't know where to begin.........I'm a tad passive-aggresive and have been "ornery" way too many times.


    But I gotta tell this one[:D]. Got fired from a good job due to "personality conflict". Knew where my ex-supervisors 19 yo daughter worked. Made nice with her, took her to dinner and drinks, and was drinking coffee at his kitchen table 2 weeks later after a "wild night". The look on his face was priceless.[}:)]

    Putting about half a gallon of soap in the waterfountain in town was always fun...

    Foam all over..


    That was not the worst though - I guess the worst I did..

    Well, I'm regretting I did it and not too proud of it neither.
