My mom always called those ho-ho's when I was a kid. We had ho-ho wars and beat the crap out of each other until the tubes were tattered. Now when I slip up and call them a ho-ho my hubby looks at me like I have 2 heads. :P

Haha that's funny. We never had funny names for them, but we would stockpile them and do a day or lightsaber duels. First person whose tube broke, lost the duel.

I prefer the all-seasons approach of using the mailing tubes with the plastic end caps for extra rigidity and damage!

Ouch! Those would hurt. Paper towel rolls are good too

You sir are braver and/or tougher than I then lol.

When there's only a year difference between each of the kids in the family, competition gets tougher.

I have a sister about 2.5 years younger than me. Alas that meant I could only beat up on my friends.
