Pool Noodle:
I’m not entirely certain that I was ever in a pool with one of these. In fact, if I ever found one while in the pool, I’m not sure I would even understand how it’s supposed to be played with. I’m pretty sure they were used exclusively for lashing siblings. Not too effective, but concentrating blows to more sensitive areas, such as the face, really improved things.
Nerf Dart:
Okay, kind of a weapon already. But one must simply remove the harmless suction cup portion and replace it by jamming an unpopped popcorn kernel in the dart’s end, thereby trapping the air inside as the suction cup did while also creating a hard, smaller point.
Sleeping Bag:
Because just beating each other up wasn’t enough, a pair of sleeping bags could add a nice flair to a wrestling match. Simply have both combatants enter a sleeping bag head first. Then spin ten times. Then attack each other or the walls, whatever is convenient.
Hippity Hop:
How lucky and privledged we were to own these. I never knew any other kids who had them. I would say it took about a day before someone grabbed one up by the handle and swung it as one would swing a mace.
Sock:
You might be asking yourself how a sock becomes a weapon. Decent question. Well, if one takes a sock and tightly packs it with other socks, a devastating swinging weapon is created. The best part is that the more you swing it, the tighter the interior socks are packed, the more painful and effective it becomes.
