Popping cans nailed to a stump with my dad in my grandma's big ol upstate NY backyard is one of my fondest memories of being a kid. We used his heavy full metal one until its compression tube or something developed a leak, and he bought me my own newer & lighter one for my 9th birthday. Believe they were both pumpmasters by crosman though.

I never thought I would learn about classic americana from a fan comic about anime ship girls.

I remember watching that Christmas movie

Poetic, truly.

Now this is the kind of American history every American should learn about,the creators of childhood memories that very often end up in the military.

Like "Puff The Magic Dragon".

You might be in the middle of Hell,but not even that can take away your fond memories as a kid.
