We were young and STUPID! Some of the Lannans were out visiting (can't remember - think Joe and Zack were in on this stunt and Blayne - all of about 8 or 9 at the time). We decided to play "army" and were squared off against my buddy and next door neighbor, Matt and his team. I think it was Joe and Matt and some of our other friends on 1 team and me, Zack, a couple others and Blayne (cause we didn't know what else to do with him - tag along 9 year old wanting to play with a bunch of "grown men") on my team.
Well, to make a long story short - we played Army rough! ROCKS were hand grenades, I had my 22 pistol with blanks in it, think we used air rifles (only 1 pump allowed)... yep, as I started this story with - we were stupid!!! I remember Blayne throwing a "hand grenade" and bustin' someone's head open, I shot my buddy Matt at point blank range in the leg (he was wearing shorts) with my 22 (who knew it would burn his leg like that) and I got hit in the neck with a pellet - kind of embedded there until the guys got it out.
It's amazing that any of us have survived to tell these tales!
Take care Fordo,
Love ya,
Uncle Stosh
