Just curious, do kids still play this game? When did they stop?
Probably stopped about the time tag was outlawed in schools.
Remember "Pom, Pom, pull away;" & "Red Rover, Red Rover?" :cool2:
Red Rover was great! I never had the wind knocked out of me like I did playing that!
We always stopped when someone got hurt. I am sure that rule still holds.Quote:

We did a pretty vicious Dodge Ball.
I would guess BB gun wars are pretty much out, as well.
BB gun wars were awesome. Dangerous as all get out but awesome none-the-less. I'm surprised one of us didn't lose an eye. I haven't even heard of anyone playing mumbletypeg since I was a kid.
Learned to ride my bike no-handed, just so I could cock and shoot that BB gun, like shooting from horse back........these day you would go to jail.
How about marbles?
I lost mine. No really, I did.
BB gun wars have morphed into airsoft.
I think these days wanting to proclaim youself king of the mountain and possibly having to wrest control of a huge snowpile from other children is a clear indication that you have to be shipped off to the school psychologist. Signs and omens people, these are dark days we're living in indeed.Quote:

The other players then try to run in to the circle and tag "it". The game is over when a cousin is unconscious or drunk uncle Buddy gets his tooth knocked out.
See? I knew alcohol was involved in that game. I'm dumb but I ain't stupid.
How many teeth does Uncle Buddy have left?
We have really progressed! Texting contests?
