You old enough to remember these squirt guns.

Totally hidden in your your closed hand.

Had probably 6 of them...all taken away by teachers...lol [Linked Image]

Hey Nessy did you clip on a piece of thin cardboard to your bike frame with clothes pins to slap the spokes?

Boco...we were way cooler than that...

We used those long clown balloons....and tied one ,on each side of the front fork.

And when you started going forward...you gently shoved the balloons into the spokes.

Sounded like a Harley !!!!!!

I am guilty also , never did care for playing the Old Maid card game but the cards worked excellent in this application .

Guilty, but we used baseball cards for our bikes. I probably destroyed cards that would be worth a mint now. I also used teh balloons to get that good "bluc,blub,blub" Harley sound.

Moosy ......I don't know about you...but I lived in Philly 1965 (4th) grade..I was the new kid in class...But at recess all the boys pitched cards against the brick wall. And come to find out...I was pretty good at it. Had shoe boxes full of winnings.

We played ..tops..which was taking turns flinging cards...and if you covered your buddies last card thrown...you won the whole pile.

All kinds of valuable cards ...that disappeared...lol.

Philly was the only school that I was in...that pitched cards.

I was a Navy brat...so I went to a lot of different schools .

In my days (late 50's, early 60's) I was more into comic books than cards. Pitching them against a brick wall (perceived gambling) would have just given the nuns yet another reason to pound me. That problem was solved when they kicked me out of St. Mary's after 7th Grade! Hah!

Used to play a game we called "stretch" with our pocket knifes as young boys. Last one standing won. The modern version would be called "twister " I think. Needed a good lawn to throw the knives into. Mom would yell "you be careful " I don't think that would go over to big nowadays. Lol

We would flip the cards and whos card landed player side up won the other card.Also shot marbles.Every boy had a sack of marbles and a pocket knife too incase we wanted to play mumbly pegs.Brought a .22 rifle to school for "show and tell".All the way there on the bus and back.Them days are gone. grin
