MissMage, I apologize. I guess I viewed your first post as being cynical; my bad if that was the case. And like MasterMindreader, we too used the hammer now that I recall. But the ball of caps? I never saw that one and I thought I saw it all. My father and I used to make firecrackers when I was a kid with chemicals you could buy in the local drug store, thin cardboard rolled into tubes and brown paper bag paper fashioned into black powder fuses. They made a pretty loud bang. But in the end it was labor intensive to make a lot of them and cheaper to just buy some for the Fourth of July.

No worries, Bob1Dog. I can see how my post might have read cynical. But I do genuinely feel sorry on some levels for today's kids. Exploration for them is simply a google search. Everything that can be done has been done and there's a video on youtube. Now if a kid wonders what will happen when they put 5 rolls of caps in a microwave for 2 minutes, they never get to learn true creativity when they try to figure out a way to blame their younger brother for the fire damage in the kitchen.
And homemade firecrackers?!?!!? Color me intrigued.

MissMage, I love your creativity with the microwave!
I'd post the firecracker "recipe" here, but then someone would make them and then sue me when one blows up in his hand because he made the fuse too fast.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about? 
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums.

We used to blow up my backyard all the time. Don't tell anyone.
I throw stuff.

Yikes, from a scary doll to blowing things up! I love this place.

Ok, back to dolls, sort of...
This one is kinda messed up, but the really creepy part is the girl. I just know she probably grew up to be the mother of a serial killer.

Oh, okay the holster deal and the horse. I always envied my cousin's horse and Lone Ranger mask. But how the heck did the gun make it to 2012?

Pure luck I'd guess, since there were two of them. It turned up in a box in the basement of my mother's house years ago when she told my wife and I to go through stuff in the basement so she could clean it out. Still in great shape.

I still have my Grandpa's Red Ryder BB gun somewhere. I'm also supposed to get his old wrestling figures once everything from the estate is organized.
I throw stuff.

Critter, I had my father's Daisy pump BB gun from the twenties but it didn't work. I found a guy in the midwest who repaired old BB guns and mine came back in perfect working order for shooting. The guy's rate was very reasonable and it now belongs to my fourteen year old nephew. I only mention this because I don't know the working condition of your Red Ryder. But that too is a great piece.

This one still works. It's not that old though. Probably the 80's. More sentimental value than anything else.
