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?

So would the winner is considered a "Bully", by today's standards?Quote:

None of the "just me and you" to settle this, after school.
School fights now consists of lock downs, criminal charges, cell phone calls to parents, friends, and various reinforcements called in for the frases.
I was relieved when my son came home and told me his team won at dodge ball, and that they plated wall ball. Thats the game where you throw a tennis ball at the wall and if you try to catch it and miss you have to run to the wall or get pegged with the ball. I loved to play that game.
Unfortunately uncle Buddy is no longer with us. He was my favorite uncle. He was a gold glove boxer and a Marine that did 2 tours in Viet Nam. My mom says thats why he drank. He was one funny guy, never a harsh word towards anyone.Quote:

Then we would each gather a pile of rocks and take turns bombing each others set up. My favorite one was the bazooka man.
LOL, I almost forgot about them, we sorta did the same thing, but turned into using BB guns again, sort of target practice, plus strategy.Quote:

We played kill the man with the ball. Which was probably the same as smear the queer or what ever it was. BB gun wars gave way to paintball in the mid 80's.
Mumbilee peg in camp. We also played stretch, where you started with a buddy back to back and moving only one foot once per turn you tried to stick the knife in the ground where they couldn't reach it.
Also, chicken which involved trying to throw the knife and stick it in the ground as close as possible to the other guys foot as possible without hitting them. :cool2:
Oh...we almost forgot the most dangerous (and banned) game yet! Lawn darts!! Dad couldnt figure out why the shed in the back yard leaked so bad!:innocent:
