I mentally categorized all stick guns as a kid into three categories based loosely (I think) on size. Pistols, Guns, and Rifles. OMG if you called a stick gun you found by the wrong name. You absolute moron.

I would literally have died of embarassment. Here are some other stick categories my kid has: ninja sticks, Ninjago sticks, Ninjago sticks but only two of the Ninjagos not all of them, stick sticks, spear sticks, one secret category. He's a serious player.

I had a stash of good sticks hidden in a secret tree base and somebody stole them all. Last month (and twenty years later) I found another satisfying stick on my commute and brought it home with me. I sat in the back garden, whittled the bark and some of the bigger knots off, and now it's drying in my garage in prep for becoming a hiking stick. It was a relaxing hours work. I whittle now, I guess?

sucks to be right
I was helping a guy move house last week and he had a big stick that looked like a wizard's staff and he asked me if I wanted it, as thanks for my help. I actually would like a big stick that looks like a wizard's staff but this particular stick was just an okay stick and not quite a good stick so I passed on it.

It wasn't sticks, and god I wish I had pictures of this, but me and the neighbor kids made an arsenal out of empty toilet paper rolls. We duct taped them into every weapon we could think of, including one of those multi barrel grenade launchers. We were like, 9 or 10 I think. drat those were the days.

I'm just going to assume pine cone grenades were a universal kid thing, right?


Side note to the busy body lady that I just thought about. Remember that time you heard kids playing and talking about pine cones and you actually came up and corrected us and told us they were fir cones? Well I actually started to write pine/fir cones above, but the Hell with that, you weirdo. Congrats on somehow using up a couple of my brain cells with that memory though - what a weird rear end trick.

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."
The ultimate stick weapon though was a switch. A good springy one with the bark stripped off.:discourse:

Hit dad and laugh.
Whack stones.
Use to help stand up.
Tasty treat.
Menace seagulls.

Sticks that were thick and kind of hard for kids to lift became heavy weapons. The type of weapon and the sound effect made when using it depending on the shape. A stout log with protrusions at right angles might be a machine gun. A longer straight stick with a handle might be a bazooka.
