Hot Lava

[DarkHippie]

when i was little and my mom dragged me to the supermarket, i used to play a game called 'hot lava.' i had to walk from colored tile to colored tile. the white ones were hot lava and would kill me.

Who else did this?

Despite being in the middle of the bronx, we had more whites than colored

My supermarket usually had three different colors and the whites were spread around

We used the bottom rungs of railings a lot. Also, a well placed hassock can be a life saver.

Would you walk on a throwrug over hot lava? I think not. Let's not turn this into a circus. As for ingenuity, Mom!!! can you bring that delicious cake into the livingroom......please?

Not to derail the thread, but does anyone remember when smoking was allowed in supermarkets? I remember seeing crushed out butts on the floor as a kid.
I remember also just a few years ago going down south and being very surprised at seeing people smoking in the mall.

I remember seeing smoking in malls, but nothing was worse than smokes on a plane. I took my first flight in the 70's and we sat in the back. Everyone would just light up as soon as the light went off.

Hold on. You mean to tell me that carpets are not REALLY made of lava? And I've been crawling over bookshelves and ottomans to get to my kitchen all these years. I never could understand why so many houses had this deadly substance installed on their floors. Now I get it...just a game. I guess I'm still a little shell shocked because I was born in Herculaneum in 74 AD. Well, here we go, finally an easy route to the kitchen........................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............................................OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!

My kids play this all the time. I had no idea where it came from, but they alter the game dependng on the circumstances. Sometimes its tiles, sometimes its carpet, sometimes its the dog (dont ask about that one)

I guess they didnt invent it after all

So are you saying you played this game jumping from butt to butt?
Because that's when you really need a chain smoker shopping in front of you.
