I still don't get it. My theory is that society took so long to come around on legalization because the subculture made things confusing and unappealing with bizarre lingo

My dads store would sometimes get broken into, I thought that burglars and mascots were the same thing. I was really confused how no one saw Harvey the Hound smashing in windows

You can be anything you want to be.

Lets just say I interpreted BJ a lot more literally

Chocolate milk came from chocolate cows

ugh, for longer than i'd like to admit, i thought the phrase "oral sex" referred to phone sex. I always found it weird that they mentioned this so much in sex ed. but didn't talk more about bj's .....

whenever we got those Publisher's Clearing House mails with your name on it saying that you've won 10 million dollars, and all you had to do was send in the form to receive your prize. my parents knew they were bs but I begged and cried for them to send the form anyways so that we could become rich.

obviously all we got was more junk mail asking us to sign up for magazine subscriptions in order to collect those millions. it was a hard lesson about this filthy world we live in.

When I was around 4 or 5 and first watching the Jets... I used to think that the coach pulled the goaltender at the end to motive the players. I didn't realize you got an extra attacker.

can't really remember much... just stuff like the tooth fairy and santa

one of my favourites is what my wife believed until she was probably into her early teens. her brother is 2 years older than her and was born in canada. she was born in england and shortly after she was born the family moved back to canada. she never got official 'canadian citizenship' (i guess she just was canadian becuz she came to canada at a month or two old). they grew up on the westside of kelowna and one day (she would have still been pretty young - primary school age) as they were coming down bridge hill (the hill on hwy 97 right before okanagan lake) a cop had a guy pulled over. her brother blurts out that she better duck down in the back seat becuz he was checking for people who didn't have their canadian citizenship and if they found any they would send them away. i guess the fact that their mom just laughed and didn't correct her brother convinced her it was true - so for years she was always on the watch for rcmp cruisers and if any had a guy pulled over she would duck down and hope they didn't see her.

ha! ha!

That the power glove actually worked the way the ads showed it.

Oh, and someone getting "fired" meant guys with blowtorches would come and "fire" the guy. So when my dad said he had to fire someone that day, well, I didn't think to highly of my dad. But I kinda understood why he had to fire them. Lazy slackers.

The first time I used a weed-whacker my uncle told me to be careful because it will cut my leg off if I get too close... I looked like a fool using it so outstretched for years...

Also, I had plans to use my grandpas hammer to smash through the TV 'window' so I can play on Sesame Street.

The entire earth got flooded for 40 days and 40 nights and only one man had a boat that was big enough for two of every single animal in the world that spanned the globe. Then he would have his kids procreate with each other to repopulate the earth. And the rainbow afterwards was a magician's way of promising the earth will never be flooded again.

That our creator can do anything He wanted but won't save starving children or cure cancer but would help the New England Patriots win the Super Bowl and me to find my car keys. But he was kind enough to give us His son via Immaculate conception. But only to have himself killed to save us from sin that we were able to choose to do after eating an apple from a tree that a talking snake told us to.

And Religion.

I used to believe that hard work was all you needed to be successful....

When I was 3 or 4, I was apparently the most racist little child. Good thing spanking was still considered de rigeur in my day.

From driving past them numerous times I thought that the Big Banana & Big Pineapple were actually real, big, fruit.




Australia has a lot of 'BIG' things.

When I joined little league I was told I need to wear a cup. I thought it would be awfully weird putting my junk in a coffee mug, and that it seemed quite dangerous if I fell on it. I think the instructions were just unclear. Later on in life, I used three clear steps to put my junk in a box.
