I and my brothers called them "polyps" all while having no clue what the word actually meant, just because of how it sounded.
17 - probably

How many brothers do you have?
3; we occasionally also had cousins join in. It was a lot of fun.
Sounds like it.
You bet; we even tried cooking up there; it was always failed and disgusting, but thank god we never lit fire to the forest.
I had a lot of fun with a large magnifying glass when I was a kid.
Thank god I never lit fire to the forest as well.

"With big league chew"
Oh wow I haven't heard that name in a long time! If I recall it came in packets and was a type of shredded gum. Made for excellent bubbles!
"Rolly pollys, catipillers, and praying mantises were among my favorite."
Same here!
"Used to suck 4 at a time while I slept."
Wow, a whole fistful!
