Chucking rocks at Airplanes

No I won't be throwing rocks at airplanes, I just couldn't think of a snappy title for today's topic.

Chucking rocks (Evolution decided to leave this in tact)
I work in a lab environment. We have about 12 people in a good sized room and we all have our own space, so please don't call OSHA. We have toys in our lab, a Zen garden (seriously), and a treat table with delectable treats from all over the world (look up Hawflakes). Getting back to chucking rocks though. One of my lab mates bought these puffy little balls from Target that we can throw at each other without causing harm or spilling drinks. There is little more satisfying than tossing the balls at an unsuspecting co-worker.
Which leads me to the time old tradition of throwing real rocks at your friends. I mean real honest to goodness rock from mother earth. Now, I don't know if I am about to be sexist but, ladies I don't think you know about this activity so much. Little boys will throw rocks at each other to try to hit each other. It's a fun game. I think this satisfies our need as nature's hunters to "hunt" things when we are young and can take a few rocks to the head. It develops your motor skills, dodging ability and pain tolerance.
It made me proud to see my neighbor kids throwing rocks at each other a few days ago and not my car or house. I wanted to go out and join them. I wasn't so much a rock thrower as I was a dirt bomb tosser. Dirt bombs are shaped like rocks but explode on contact for a much better effect. Less pain for the receiver and more collateral damage = fun fun fun.
You can find dirt bombs at construction sites or if they are tearing up the street in front of your house.
There were "rules" to chucking rocks. No head shots and stay away from the crotch. Other than that everything was fair game. Who doesn't remember the sting of the first rock hitting your leg and the thrill of tossing them back. Ahhh Youth. We didn't have Playstation, what do you expect!?!
 BTW...the Playstation is still broken, so if you want to donate to the "Rick needs to numb his mind Playstation fund" please do. My birthday is right around the corner in September, still many shopping days left. 
See ya after the Airshow which I am extremely excited about.
