Snapping turtles get damned heavy too.

did you also light your Matchbox cars on fire, pretending they crashed?

No No No , You are suposed to save a few bottle rockets from the 4th , you break off the sticks and tape them to the cars , 3-4 works best , the hard part is getting them to all go off at the same time , smothe concreete is best , when it works it is KILLER , WHOOOSH !!!! BAM !!!!!! then smoldering wreckage , ahhh to be a kid again !!!!!!!

In Okanowa JP, we used to catch these BIG ass Preying Mantisis and the BIG ass banna spyders , put them in a shoe box and watch them fight , the Mantis ALWAYS won !!!!!!!!

Huh... He was there from around 82-84 I think. In some school for American kids, but I can't remember the name.
