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 !!!!!! It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Moosetrot 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 . Last edited by Nessmuck; 07/13/24 09:23 AM.

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! Moosetrot

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 Walt legge
