I've never owned a Nerf gun.

snowfoxofdeath

I've never watched any of the Toy Story movies. I can count on one hand how many times I've been to the cinema. I've never gone camping. I've never owned a video game console. And I'm sure that if you bring up a "traditional" childhood memory, I'll be able to say I've never done it.

What bothers me is that I don't know if this is for better or worse.

CommandoDude

You poor depraved soul...

"traditional" childhood memory

Have you ever had a homoerotic experience with a close friend that left you both ridiculously turned on and vaguely uncomfortable, all without really realizing what you're doing?

vacasama

You must've had an interesting childhood.

Mine wasn't really normal either seeing I've been in special ed for years.

Bob

Like you wouldn't believe.

vacasama

Did part of that had to do living in Nor Cal.

Bob

No. Err, maybe. Well, yeah, kinda, but not really. I guess if you look at it a certain way, yes, but at the same time no, with a little bit of perhaps on the side, a sprinkle of I have no idea and a pinch of sure why not. But honestly, looking at it from a certain point of view, if one were to really dig deep to try to answer this question, they would be able to answer, with reasonable certainty, either affirmatively, negatively or neutrally, depending on their interpretation of specific things, whether or not their answer was correct or incorrect based on the actuality of the events of in question, unless of course the interpretation of said events was misinterpreted, misunderstood, just plain fabricated or in any way less than one hundred percent accurate.

All I said was maybe. Jeez you guys...

Liar. Everyone's seen Toy Story. No exceptions.

I haven't seen toy story.

Not the first one, anyway.

TheConductor

Liar.

snowfoxofdeath

I've never eaten smores, by the way.

Well, I did convince myself I was married to this one dude in my kindergarten class, which ended up being really awkward.

wut...

I'm not entirely sure what Nerf is..... probably just hard foam or something. I've also never had any of that crap.
I could count my cinema trips on both hands... not quite just the one.
I've owned almost every kind of games consoles Sega ever made... as well as a few Microsoft and Nintendo ones since then... and I'm not sure what those without games consoles do with their lives.
I've been camping many times, have had two tents, four sleeping bags, had sex in one of them and one of somebody else's. Have also slept in two trees (up in the branches) and one hammock. Also slept in a laundry basket with the cats once. 

I've got plenty of childhood stories, a few teenagehood stories and relatively fewer adulthood stories.... I'm not sure if any of them are "conventional" or not. I'm also not sure how many were real and how many I imagined, since I was permanently high on cannabis through second-hand smoke until I was 18.

ninjaclown

What the hell, we're talking about Nerf and then you start talking about sex and drugs.

SotiCoto

Yes. Sex and drugs are normal parts of one's pre-18 years. Not sure about Nerf though, as I still am not sure what it is.

TheConductor

Soti, it's those toy guns that fire cylindrical, foam pellets.

SotiCoto

Oh.... weird.
I just had a spud-gun when I was a kid. It fired cylindrical potato pellets... my brother and step-brothers had them too. Then I discovered you could double-load them for a harder pellet. Then when my brothers noticed what I was doing and copied my amazing scientific discovery... I discovered the best way to get the ultimate pellet was to simultaneously load potato>apple>potato. Cramming all that in that order into the spud-gun made for a projectile that could really hurt a kid when it hit.... which honestly is what any sort of projectile weapon is all about.

Is there some way to make Nerf guns really hurt... other than the traditional method of hitting someone with the blunt end of the gun? Thas how my spud-gun got confiscated: I pistol-whipped my brother with it.

NERF for people that weren't raised in the 70's

It's funny how this went from form based toys to sex and drugs.

SotiCoto

There wasn't really much "went" in it.
I brought up both the sex and the drugs.  I never mentioned that in my case the sex only happened after I turned 19 .....  but I figure the fact that I was stoned for the entirety of my childhood (and drunk a few times too) counts for a lot.

snowfoxofdeath

I was born at the end of the 90's, and not owning a Nerf gun pretty much meant you weren't human. 

Never watched Rugrats, by the way.
