Re: Going old school with a 72
Mel it really is a shame that a lot of kids today just don't get to enjoy the simple everyday pleasures of nature that we enjoyed as kids.

There's actually some benefit to inhaling the smoke of rabbit tobacco. The Cherokee used it for all manner of respiratory issues. Even today some herbalists prescribe it.
What about sassrus (sassafras) leaves. Y'all ever chewed them? I have.

Oh law Jerry, I haven't thought about that in I don't know when.

You guys ever put chicken feathers (2 or 3) in the end of the cob to make a whirlybird?

Re: Going old school with a 72
We had corn cob fights with 'em. Papaw fed his hogs behind the barn so there were a lot of cobs laying around. Half of the cousins would get over in the woods on the west side of the road that ran beside the barn (the road was in sort of a gully), the other half would stand on the high ground behind the barn and we would throw stuff at each other. Cobs flying west from the high ground (no cover), Walnuts, Hickory nuts, sticks and repatriated corn cobs flying east from the low ground (plenty of cover in the woods). It's a wonder we didn't put an eye out.

Re: Going old school with a 72
I have never chewed sassafras. I used to drink the tea pretty often, but it has been at least a decade since my last drink. Boy, do I love the smell of sassafras when someone is digging up the roots. Sometimes on a construction site the bulldozers produce a fragrance that overpowers the diesel fumes.Colonel26 wrote: What about sassrus (sassafras) leaves. Y'all ever chewed them? I have.

I used to smoke "kinikinik". I'm sure I misspelled that. A low growth herb.
As kids we used to throw Mullin spears at each other. My brother got hit in the side of the head and bled like crazy.
We all laughed.

My Great Uncle G.P. Young gave me my first chew at age 5. I never bought Chewing Tobacco my great uncles would give me all the Red Man or Bloodhound plug I wanted.
Those are some good times of my 1970's Childhood.

Sounds like my 1980's childhood Witt my Pa and a great uncle. Good times. I learned a lot of important lessons I'm afraid are lost in much of today's young men. But I'm trying to pass them on to me sons.deltaboy wrote:My Great Uncle G.P. Young gave me my first chew at age 5.

Corn cob fights, and tobacco stalk sword fights. One of my older cousins got his lip cut so bad with a tobacco stalk he had to get stitches.jerryd6818 wrote:We had corn cob fights with 'em.

I think a red neck is the same no matter where they grew up.Colonel26 wrote: Naw, I'm a Kentucky redneck. But I bet it's essentially the same thing!
I grew up on a ranch in Oregon. Made my own corncob pipes. Smoked dried Bracken ferns, Bull Durham (they even had Bull Durham tailor mades for a while), and most anything else that looked like it might burn.
First chew: some sort of twist I found in the gun cabinet of the neighbors ranch where I often lived & worked in the summer.
That was memorable, but not the most pleasant experience of my young life!

I've got a fresh pile of red cobs from shelling some corn today. Would that make some tradin' material?
