Hey You Kids, Get Off My Lawn!
Top 10 Most Violent Children's Games
I can't believe that he left out Butts Up. Remember that? You would bounce a ball off a wall (or a garage door in most cases) then someone would pick it up or catch it and whip it at the wall again. If they ever dropped the ball or got hit by it on the bounce they would have to run to the wall as fast as they could. If another player could throw the ball and hit the wall before the dropper reached it every other player would get a throw at the dropper's butt.
Also: Bloody Knuckles.
I am glad somebody recognized the inherent danger of Slip 'n' Slide though. Who the hell thought throwing yourself at a thin tarp on the ground would be fun? Usually placed in close proximity to something like a sprinkler head that may or may not rip off several layers of skin if you happened to hit it in your frenzied, uncontrollable slide. And god help you if you hit a dry spot along the Crocodile Mile. Screeeeeech.
Now kids play XBox. And if they ever go outside they stand on gas motor-powered scooters or glide around on those damn shoes with wheels in the heels. Healies or whatever. Darn whippersnappers.
shut up. slip n slide is one of the funnest things ever. I always wanted the crocodile mile, with that sweet wading pool at the end?!!! That and some moon shoes. And that football that zipped back and forth along the line.
Oh god, The Football That Zipped Back and Forth Along the Line (I think that was its trademarked name) always looked so cool. So did those blocks that glowed in the dark, even if they were just Legos for retards (not Tycos, but those are Legos for retards too). Just 3 easy payments of $15.99.
In retrospect, without The Football That Zipped Back and Forth Along the Line my whole childhood was a waste.
How come I don't remember any of you asking Santa for any of these highly desired toys?
dang I've ALWAYS wanted those glow in the dark blocks.
and the slip n slide always scared me. I don't think I ever willed myself to try it. but then again, I haven't yet learned how to ride a bike, so this is nothing surprising.
AAAHHHHHH the glow in the dark blocks! I STILL want those! Or even just the plain colored ones would suffice. They even had little hinges so you could make CURVY things! Like a snail, or a castle with rounded walls!
can we make a ghetto slip and slide with hefty bags and duct tape?
Are you guys talking about Glow in the Dark Better Blocks? I grew up on Legos so I thought those were the dumbest thing. I hate Lego rip offs. Anyways, I remember playing all those games on that list. I remember playing Smear the Queer, it was all fun and games until someone got pushed into the bushes in my friends yard.
