why are all the white people in this thread trying to ignore yet another example of ins utionalized racism attempting to suppress black accomplishments....I have a more serious example that I've been waiting to revisit

[oh crap]

damn, this thread takes me back.

water balloon launchers were our thing. we'd always have launcher fights with the neighbors across the street...and sometimes tried to hit people on motorcycles with them.


we'd build potato guns too. that was dangerous but fun as .

LOL. We lived on the 4th floor of the dorm in college. We'd open the window and launch water balloons at motorcycles. Never hit one...which I guess is a good thing.

I had a standard blue soaker, and a green. Eventually I got one of those that had two little reseviors on top and one on the back. It had a great stream but hardly held any water. Good memories.

bro we put tapatio sauce to make it more lethal tbh

we jacked medical gloves from the hospital (when my grandma was sick) when I was a kid and made water balloons with my neighbors mangeta. They were the deadliest water bombs ever

My dad used to take me to the hospital when he made rounds sometimes and I would steal the prescription pads.

I think my childhood ended the moment this super soaker came into the series

I found this review of the oozinator on a kids website

Make sure to lock your door, May 4, 2006A Kid’s Review
My parents are strongly against playing with my oozinator alone, they want me to know a someone first and WAIT a while till I can use my oozinator. I thought this was stupid so I often lock my door and play with my oozinator alone. I also get with my buddies and friends, and we play with our oozinators together when we leave the house. And sometimes, we get on the computer or read magazines to help us learn how to shoot ooze better
Afterwards, we go around, oozing everyone in town. Everyone loves our ooze! They also like the gun, and often want to play with it too! We’re nice, so we often let them ooze us, too.. BUT MAKE SURE YOUR PARENTS DON’T CATCH YOU PLAYING WITH YOUR OOZINATOR. They say it’s unnatural, but we just want to have fun!”

Shocked that the "inventor" was black, based on who started the thread tbh.
