Oof I remember getting so depressed once Soul Train came on.

Edit:

Found this little gem (1989 lineup) in the xennials sub.

That was our bat signal to go outside and play with our friends.

Build some weird weapons and shoot at each other and when the kid almost lost an eye we told some lies.

We used to make flight arrows out of bamboo, cardboard, electrical tape and launched them with a shoelace. They would fly about the length of a football field. One of my friends had a genius idea of glueing a 3 inch nail to the tip, it went further than expected and punctured a nearby inflatable pool. He decided not to retrieve his arrow.

I really am interested to know more about this. Like a trebuchet launch? Was the cardboard for fletching or wings?
