Did you let anyone play with?
Question:your conkers at school
or did you only play with them yourself
i soaked mine in vinegar and baked them in
the oven until they were rock hard
then i lodged them in a woodworking vice and slowly drilled a hole right through the middle of my conkers
with a hand drilll ,threaded some string through the hole
and them strung them up in the garden shed for a week
ahhh good ol days.

It must have been you that damaged my knuckles
Yep. The simple pleasures are the best.
Clever idea about the woodwork vice!
why didn't you set them on fire as well? oh, my bad, you put em in the oven, okay, sorry!
Yes back when I was in school in Rural Louisiana more than 55 years ago I not only played with my conkers I even let the other kids play with them and they let me play with their conkers.
But what was really great was getting a whole bunch of conkers and giving them to my grandmother who added some karo syrup and brown sugar and made the most delicious conker pie. I do remember it tasted a lot like Southern Pecan Pie . Any way them damn yankee snow birds loved it.
apparently conkers is a dangerous game and cannot be played without the correct eye protection!!
I didn't grow up here. We didn't have conkers where I grew up. What the hell are they?
