You guys ever just throw pinecones at each other?

Brother we used to have brick fights at the derelict hospital and my mum had zero clue where I was all day

Well, not exactly "pine"cones, but let's call it the Mayan version of pinecones.

I've stepped barefoot on a lychee before and I don't think I'd like having one thrown in my face

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That's the fun thing! (For a kid that just wouldn't think about it.)

EDIT: also, these are guasima fruits, not lychees, just in case you are mixing them up.

Yeah I don't know much about fruits. They look like they'd hurt more than lychees because they're pointier

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Pointier, yes, also denser. It was kind of wild, actually. Those fights always ended with someone crying, but we all did understand that anyone could be the one crying, so we didn't mock or brag too much. The fun always surpassed the sorrow by miles.

Y'all better watch out, I just picked up one of those pinecones that hasn't opened up yet

Suddenly, I'm transported and hear the sounds of Billy Ray Cyrus singing Achy Breaky Heart live on TNN emanating from the open trailer door. Also, I'm a fraud. I've never even been to England.
