But you were best at Picked Last.

look, I don't want to get into this here, but I have a letterman's jacket. 3 sports! so I did pretty well, ok bub

Freeze tag, TV tag, red light/green light loved red rover.

I always sucked at games though and I'm not a competitive person. That's probably why I wanted to be a cheerleader when I was little. I'm so glad my mom didn't let me.

what is TV tag?

Getting them from the various teams you tried out for as a sympathy gesture followed by a show clap in the hallway between periods doesn't count, Lucas.

i can't remember exactly, maybe me and my cousins made it up. it had something to do with yelling out a TV show or characters either to get untagged or when you got tagged. i forget. either way it was lame.

I tripped going into first playing kickball and the teacher called me out because you can't slide into first.

I yelled at him that it wasn't actually a rule, and I had tripped, not slid, but he still called me out.

I'm pretty sure I started crying at some point after that.

i knew i didn't make it up. just googled it...Decide who is "it". This is exactly the same step as in regular tag, as is most of the game. Simply call "not it" or "nose goes" or however you want to start. 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' works well too. If you have faster runners and slower runners playing, it may be a good idea to have the faster runners be "it" first, as if a slower runner (or younger child) is "it" they may get frustrated and they would stay it for longer, making the game less interesting. Also, keep in mind that some people watch more TV than others, and will be "safe" for longer. (You may want to have them "it" first, so they get to be it at least one time!)
Give the runners a 5 second head start If the tagger(s) are fast runners or playing against younger players, you should give a longer head start to be fair.
Play just like normal tag, but the runners can call out a TV show and be "safe" for several seconds. To avoid confusion, when you call out a TV show, sit down, that way the tagger knows that you are safe. The length of time that a player is "safe" should be somewhere around 10 seconds. If the tagger thinks that it has been over 10 seconds, they can call "1,2,3, get off my father's apple tree," and then be able to tag the person.

not with my cousins, ewwwww....

Wall Ball, Chinese handball.

Kee-rist, 25 posts and no one has got "Mother May I" yet.

I don't know if it is the same as Wall Ball, but we used to play Off the Wall.
You'd throw a baseball or a tennis ball and bounce it off a wall. Scoring was like baseball. If the other guy caught it before it hit the ground, it was your first out. If it hit the ground and he caught it after one bounce, it was a single and you'd have a man on first. If it bounced twice, it was double. If it bounced 3 times a triple and four or more times it was a homo, er, homer.

We also enjoyed one called Devil in the Ditch.
In that one, the goal was to be the "devil" (I learned this one at Bible scholl, by the way).
The devil would stand in the middle of a yard and all the kids lined up on the boundary at one end. When the devil called out "Devil in the ditch!" everyone ran to the other side, trying to avoid being tagged. Everyone who was tagged became a devil and could then tag others.
Those who made it safely to the other side would then have to run back when the original devil called out,"Devil in the ditch!" again.
This would go on until only one person was left and the game was not over until that person was tagged.
That person would try to get away, even though the outcom was predetermined - that person would be the devil for the next game.

We used to throw rocks at each other, too......

smear the queer.

It's not what you think.

So did we. And it wasn't until a couple of years ago that it hit me like a lighting bolt. "Holy shit, we played a game called "smear the queer".

In Chicago, at a Catholic school.

So there we were in our blue shirts, blue pants, ties and good shoes - no sneakers - running around after whoever had the ball, who ran like hell until we caught him, took him down and wailed on him until he tossed the ball up. At which point some other guy would grab it and run, and it would start all over again.

We'd play two hand touch football, and I was the only one that played in an organized situation. I'd get so pissed at everyone because no one knew the rules, fucking throwing forward passes whenever they wanted. Some faggot catholic school.

in my high school intramural football, for some reason, the house-rule was that you could throw as many forward passes as you wanted each down. didn't make much sense, but once you got the hang of it, you could design plays where receivers would run to different spots on the field and run a 4 pass play for a touchdown.

We played a game simply called "Kill". Whover had the ball was chased by the group until they were tackled and gave up the ball to someone else. Lots of great injuries were suffered in this game.

i had a pretty good dad. until he left us.

before that he'd make a good base for running bases, or pitch so all the kids got to do batting practice. when it came to all kid games hed wave as i ran off. when he asked the name of the game id call it kill the man with the ball.

i guess i figured my dad'd be offended by the word queer

PapaBear

09-21-2009, 10:27 PM

None of us even knew what the word "queer" meant. In my neighborhood, the parents were mostly just parents when we were in the house. Once the kids were outside, we never saw an adult, until we did something that pissed someone off.

Smear the queer was a good one.

Dodgeball we played in a circle

Murderball was the best, and I think it was closest to dodgeball today. Teams on each side of a line. Catching a ball got the person throwing it out. And nailing someone with the ball got them out. Simple.

That reminds me of another one we played called 5-Pass.
It was played with either a frisbee or a football and we'd just run around and throw the ball or frisbee to each teammate, counting each pass out loud. Each time you got 5 in a row you scored a point.

The way we played Smear the Queer was when the person with the ball was tackled, he had to stand up and throw the ball up in the air and shout, "Smear the queer with the ball!" and the fight would be on to catch it and then run around and not get caught.
No one ever considered the fact that we were all trying to be the queer....

when we played a pick up game of baseball we had to state if the no "N" ball rule was in play or not. of course we didn't shortin it up. ah the racisim of the south.......
"N" ball, for those who don't know, is when instead of having to touch the person with the ball to get them out, you could just throw the ball at them, hit them and they were out.
