Pleonastic Ephemera

10.14.2004



An ILE thread entitled Childhood Weirdness got kinda interesting starting with this post, which says: "When in the back seat of the car, I used to pick a speck of dirt or whatever on the window and imagine that it was shooting out a laser beam that would slice whatever it came into contact with in half. Tops of trees were lopped off, houses lost their roofs, etc." Turns out that a bunch of people, myself included, played this same game or something very similar to it (I'm the one with the dynamite variation). I never would have guessed that such a seemingly random, weird activity I thought was entirely my own invention was so popular. Hopefully other forgotten little childhood games will be revealed on this potentially fascinating thread.
