grin. I saw this somewhere and decided to share.

We used to do ''Actor & Boss'' those days and we can tear our calenders and note books to form bullets. I almost lost an eye when someone used an iron-like bullet to ''fire'' my left eye. Gone are the days when men were kids cool

Yes i did, we had alot of ways with rubber those days but we didn't use it for "actor and boss." We constructed guns with wood. We would create a hole inside it, pour cabad, and cover it with an iron-like tip. Once you hit that iron tip on a stone, the gun would shoot. Then we would draw mustache on our faces with a charcoal, tie our shirts on our heads and be running inside the bush shooting each other. grin grin

What did i not do sef? grin grin

I miss my childhood jare.

My nickname was Aboki D'Sniper a.k.a Soge King I wonder if anybody would get the meaning|Origin of Soge King... With my trade mark 'Copper wire bullets'.. grin

















I only stopped playing rubberband in SSS 1 when some Skinnies ambushed me and balsted the life out of me, injuring my eyes.. I had to be rushed to the hospital that day..

Upon my return, I retired and switched to playing 'nearest to the wall'..



Then Catapult.... grin

All I will say is that if every Boy child killed half as many Lizards with a catapult as I did, those things would be an endangered specie by now.. Killed so many lizrds that I learnt about a myth that says shooting a Lizard with a catapult cuts your catapult..
