How about "Snipe" hunting ? Anyone ever remeber being taken out to a dark grave yard with a paper bag and a stick to bang around in it ?? LOL Evil bunch of older kids I grew up with !

We went snipe hunting, but it wasn't in a grave yard! Just a bunch of adults running around a campground with a flashlight saying, "there it went, did you see it?" LOL

What is a "snipe"??? I've never heard of that ...

I've heard most of these...but I remember hearing that the "potatoes" in our ears were of the "sweet potato" variety. Gross!

I heard you can find them hanging around "sky hooks"

My friends and I pulled a snipe hunt once while we driving past a campground around 6pm we slammed on the brakes got out with sticks and pillow cases started beating a nearby bush Yelling SNIPE, he's over there, no over here, one of us faked like he got bit we picked him up carried him back to the car threw him in the back seat and took off....as we were about to turn the car around to watch the people in the camp try to see what attacked us, the Police car that had a speed trap set up on the raod pulled us over, luckily he had a sense of humor.
