I would have got along quite nicely with that friend
Didn't all of us do that sort of stuff as kids?
Um...
...*shifts eyes*
I do those things
nowOh man, but the woodlice ripping brought me back to those furry cankerworms that came in droves during the Fall. Literally, they would cover top to bottom the two small trees in the field next to my house
And I would bash the hell out of them with a stick. Guts would fly everywhere, and I would enjoy it all
Then there was my AC unit with the fan. Oh boy, when you lower them down on their own string, they don't know what's going to hit them. But they'll know soon enough as their body WHIPS around in such GORY fashion
Garden sheers? Super effective! Had to wipe them off afterwards though, nobody likes gooey insect gut covered garden sheers.
Magnifying glass to them was also pretty fun. They can really move when they want to, I mean really move. Course there was also my foot. Ever seen guts spew out from a cankerworms eyes? It's pretty nifty. Literally, mustard, relish and ketchup spew out from his eyes (his guts actually look like condiments).
Ah... good times
But why keep all the fun to myself? I gave the cankerworms to ants and watched them EAT HIM
Shortly afterwards I deemed them unfit and burned them all
I had so many nests in my front yard, and a really crazy one in the field (each ant was both red, black, and pretty big in comparison).
EDIT: Sidenote, I was completely aware of what I was doing. The "kid who doesn't know better" argument doesn't apply to me...
