I wrote a variation on this-after reading your post:
My kids laugh because they think I’m crazy
Now they are decades older and have families of their own they know it was all hereditary, and still laugh at me. I think it’s self congratulatory.
BB gun fights were big too....No video games for us..we made our own fun.
We just had plain old rock fights.
The screens are such a childhood changer. I didn't give them shit, I gave them phones.
Bottle rocket battles were epic and fun...
We had all the kids in the 'hood in a huge one, great fun, until one went off target into an open car window of the neighborhood ogre.
He threatened to sue all of us, but fprgot one key thing...Halloween comes after the 4th of July.
Neighbor kid would shoot bottle rockets out his upstairs bedroom window with toilet paper on fire wrapped on it , it's a wonder he didn't burn down the neighborhood . Don't ask why he was shooting at our house .
My older brother shot in the military so I think they may have been 7.62 brass, but stuffed them with match heads and pounded them down with a pencil. Then a couple loose ones in the neck for a fuse and you had a hell of a noise. And yes, still have all my fingers.
Since you mentioned Northgate Mall. How many of youse kids would dump soap in the Fountain. I drove past that fountain many times to see it foaming over the sides. I had a lot of fun as kid. Went swimming in Kitsap lake in April. I turned blue. Shit, that water was fucking cold. Of course we walked there and back. Was only about 12 years old.
One more thing we dug the primer out a shot gun shell and hit it with a hammer. It was twice as loud as a roll of caps.
Co2 cartridges emptied of the gase and filled with shotgun reloading powder, stick an Estes model rocket fuse in it about 6" long and seal with epoxy.
Do not try this at home kids...just don't.
But if you do, use the red waterproof fuse and toss it in a body of water far away.

That’s called ‘fishing’ in some circles.Co2 cartridges emptied of the gase and filled with shotgun reloading powder, stick an Estes model rocket fuse in it about 6" long and seal with epoxy.

We never fished like that, just found shallow bogs and watched the water and mud fly.
Some salamanders may have been injured...

Life of the Party
My buddy's son had a dumb idea. He took a one liter, plastic soda bottle and poured in a little water, then he dropped in a few chunks of dry ice, then put the cap back on tightly. And threw it out in the backyard (residential area). I was sipping on a beer just watching. A couple of beers later nothing happened. He was just about ready to go check out what went wrong when.....A massive explosion took place. I'm here to tell you, these plastic bottles are tough as hell, and when they blow.....the entire neighborhood will come out of their homes in a panic....except for the three of us that were hiding in a garage hoping not to get caught.
This being the Humor thread, that reminds me of a joke.
Guy takes his Game Warden buddy out for a day of fishing on his boat. They row out into the middle of the lake and the guy lights a stick of dynamite and tosses it over the side.
Game Warden says 'Hey what the hell are you doing? You know that's illegal and now I'm gonna have to take you in!'
Guy lights another stick of dynamite and hands it to his buddy and says, 'You gonna talk, or fish?'
