Shaggin' for BB's

[r1lover]

Seem to be trippin' down memory lane today so........

How many of you took off your shoes and walked on your heels through the family room shag carpet to find spilled BB's because you ran out?

I'd spill Golden Bullseyes every time I poured from that yellow cardboard tube into the end of my Daisy 102 and I could usually find enough in the rug for one more hunt until Mom went to the store the next day.

Lol. I never had that happen, luckily.

I worked the concession stand at a flea-market and mowed lawns for ammo money. My first gun was a Crosman 180 and pellets and co2 were expensive!

Cheers,

J~

A sock with a magnet in it is the best way to round them up. When you're all done, pull the sock inside out and dump the BBs into a container.

Never. If I spilled BBs on the carpet, I probably wouldn't be able to reload my Pump Master inside again. That's after I got every one of them out of the carpet then vacuumed. My dad taught me to make a paper funnel to use to pour BBs out and into the rifle. Now I'd grab ricocheted BBs or BBs out of aluminum cans filled with water to reshoot them.

So are bloodshot eyes a good thing or a bad thing? Hope my humor wasn't offensive.

It could be either....a good night out with a hangover...or a bad night out with a hangover.

I am not sure yet. But, if my wife is mad it will be a bad night out with a hangover...

I am going to drink some more, just in case it is a bad night out...with a hang over. No need to give anything away..

@Lazarus Long Hey, I read it similarly. That's why I clicked on the thread. I had to see what was going on in here.

 

[Lazarus Long]

It was a good night out, no hangover, and the wife was not mad. Heck, she even bought me a new air pistol, today! What!?

 

[Gr8Recreation]

Better a holdover than a hangover

The sound of bb's rattling around in my crosman 2100 stock take me back. Loved that old multipump. Pellets or bb's all in one. I would cock it 3 times to load 3 bb's and get a poor boy's back woods shotgun. Had to hold it above horizontal or you could hear the first bb start to roll down the barrel. When we were out of bb's we would shoot the little blue berries that grew on our cedar trees.

Reading the title, I thought of a new bumper sticker that reads,
"Gas, grass or... BBs, nobody shoots for free!"
