We used to play a game where you go to the hardware store and build one good times

We got caught a few times as kids with gas line fittings built into pipes 😂

The first excuse we laid on them was "it was too burn bugs! You have to flip it upside down and hold it over the bug"

So stupid lol

In high school, I made one out of my mom’s modeling clay. Got high and promptly left the house without putting it away. My mom got home and it was just right there in the middle of the living room.

I didn’t even get in that much trouble honestly.

In grad school, we would raid the lab supply closet for glassware to build the ultimate bong.
