Trying to think of a list of things people did as kids that are totally stupid these days, but more comical.
i.e, tonight me and my mate stood on a bridge getting passing lorries to honk at us  . That kinda thing, lighting fires, making stuff explode, knock and run etc etc

Had big fires with loads of hay and wooden fruit boxes on clearing out the farmyard, burnt the trees above the fire. When it died down a bit we put some aeresol cans in there and shot them with guns so they exploded in the fire. That was the other week.

threw an old (thought it was!) firework onto a bonfire and it shot out just a few inches over my mates head. Never seen someone shit themselves so much in my life!

Yeah, done that quite regularly up until recently . Used to walk into Tesco and buy shaving foam/de-oderant, lighters, matches and toilet roll all in one purchase. Needless to say we got funny looks, but they can hardly refuse to serve you when your 20 .

And when I was really young (3ish) I was on holiday in Ibiza in this villa. I was jumping on the bed and fell of cracking my head open with blood all over the place. Got patched up and a few days later was chasing some girl around, tripped up and made the original crack even worse!

-dropped a fridge off a mate's shed roof until it started leaking gas
-set fire to alsorts
-dug huge holes in my back garden
-made a half decent 'robot' for robot wars then set fire to it and smashed it with bricks
-one time some lads on a schoolbus for a school near my house tried to throw a banger out the bus window at me while i was waiting for a friend so when i saw them light it i ran and held the window shut @ the bollocking they got.
who else made go carts and stuff and had demolition derbys?

I shot someone in the head with a homemade crossbow. But you've all heard that one before. 
Oh, and try getting some shave GEL in a can, shoot that through a lighter, the stuff's like napalm!! Burns and sticks to anything

We dug a moat (sp) around our garden shed!
We also buried things too, like bike parts Garden is 'crazy paved' now, that stopped our fun 
Also @ Morpheus!!
