You know whats weird is that..when you were young, your forts were held up by your comforter and such with lego buckets, your parents workout dumbbells, anything you could find. With a pillow to block the entrance.

If you think about it now, being much older, I bet you would find so many more things and build one monster ass fort that would totally pwn the one you built as a kid.

Hell yeah. My parents are in the car part exporting business, and have a ton of boxes in the warehouse.

I used to make kickass forts with my little brother and friends who's parents worked in the same business complex... One even had a TV in it! Dope! Wow, I wish I could go back to that.

[C. Senor]

i asked my lil sis if she knew what it was. (shes 6)

and looked at me like WTF, and went back to playing online in her DS while watching jackass :|

[deolio]

damn building a blanket fort sounds so fun! we had these chairs that were made of 5 3'x3' cushins that made the best forts ever.

i'm going to build one right now.

[BRAIN_Z33]

They don't have to be... ;)

[yota man]

I'm really hoping that this thread turns into a blanket fort building contest and has lots of pictures. And man do I miss spending my days building forts and playing in them.

I had a bad ass fort in my back yard though. I dug a deep hole that was wide and had a sloping tunnel down to it. I covered the top with sheets of plywood we had around and then put dirt and grass on top. All you could see was a hole, that was the entrance. It had two "seats" dug into the walls and was so fun to just go sit in. Saddest day ever when my dad went and filled it back in.

[BustedS13]

my buddy had this finished basement but it was totally useless, right. it's this 30 foot deep, 15 foot wide, windowless carpeted room with a drop ceiling. it was like, we have a living room, why would we want to watch a smaller tv in the basement. ping pong? fuck you.

so anyway the only use for this room.... one side got the ping pong table, the other side got the couches. cushions and blankets were distributed evenly, and we'd build two forts. then the lights went out, the blacklight and strobe light went on, and we had nerf wars from like 6pm-4am, every fucking weekend. i used to own like 35 nerf guns. i had a Nerf Crossbow modded to shoot over a hundred feet, level. it had a brass barrel. one time i shot my now roommate in the eye from like five feet, and he went to bed crying at 8pm.

Blanket forts are the shit...

[Phlip]

Gameboy color?

Fuck that, try Super Mario Brothers 2 and 3, Excitebike, Mega Man 3 4 and 5, Tecmo Bowl and Shinobi, among dozens of others.

You kids would make me feel old if I was capable of feeling old.

[Enna]

I just changed my room setup to have a couch now instead of an air bed. I'm so doing this shit when I get off work at 9am.

[OneForMe]

[Element_on_20s]

I just made a sickass fort with my friends, instead of chairs, we took all the sofas and piled them together. Sofas....chairs...sheets..and a stapler.

His parents came home and really handed our own asses to us though.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

forts were tight.

but refrigerator box time machine/airplane was way more fun

[Matej]

Refrigerator space station with a malfunctioning oxygen system.

[Knuckles]
