russtopherb Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 9 hours ago, Shankster said: Thought aliens were going to get me. That damn Fire in the Sky movie... I don’t think I slept for months. So when I was a kid I had a recurring dream about the Fry Guys from the McDonalds ads. In the dream they were following me. If I was in the car, they were in trees watching us drive by. They would look in my windows while I was in bed. I had this dream a lot. When I was in high school, I told a buddy about those dreams. He immediately said I was visited by aliens and they were keeping an eye on me, and my young brain couldn't process what was happening so I turned them into the Fry Guys to compensate/cope. I didn't sleep for WEEKS after he told me that. I'd go around the house at 2am making sure all the windows were locked so they couldn't get me. tony@CIC, MattF, Shankster and 3 others 6 Quote In my carry bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai/li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Launcher 5h Launcher CBX 6i-PW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact CURRENTLY TESTING - Mizuno Long Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PING Apologist #9 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I was absolutely enamored with dinosaurs. Travelling around the NW from logging camp to logging camp with my Dad, I'd look out to the hills and see what I thought were huge buried legs of T-Rexes, necks of giant Brontosauruses and sculls outlined under the dirt... I had every idea that they all were just gigantic bits with the flesh still attached, and just under all the dirt and sand waiting to be uncovered... I also thought every jet I heard overhead was actually a rocket heading to the moon...We lived out in the Mojave way back during the time of a lot of testing being done out there and the Apollo missions were still big on TV... 00sportsman, sirchunksalot, tony@CIC and 1 other 4 Quote In my DLX Cart Bag: Driver: G410 SFT, set to 9.5*, Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 60, stiff (MGS Official 2019 Tester) 3W: G-Series SF TEC, set to 16*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 5W: G400 SFT, set to 19*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 7W: G410 SFT, set to 22*.

bluesmandan76 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Yes - every week on tv (Tarzan show) We thought quicksand was lurking around every corner in Africa. When I was a little kid my dad got some sand for a project of some kind I don’t know what. It wasn’t a whole lot but a big enough pile to play on and jump off. We played on the sand and some of it was wet. My shoe got stuck and came off in it. Totally thought it was the real deal quicksand!

JuniperRocker Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) When I was a little kid, I used to have this dream where I and all of my stuff--clothes, toys, books, candy, records, bats and balls--everything I owned was all squeezed together like a three dimensional jig saw puzzle in a confined space like a railroad car or something. It wasn't a nightmare. It was a very comfortable dream. I felt as though I could stay that way forever.
