Kind of a fun game

[CS1983]

Playground games such as smear the queer and red rover. Seems those are banned from the schoolyards now.

Sometimes we play red rover w/ the boys. They don't quite get it, but are happy to get to run back and forth between us.

The "Service Merchandise" catalog. I used to love to look through that.

Ha ... I worked at a Service Merchandise in my college years ... there's good reasons the place no longer exists (the system basically encouraged employee theft).

Getting popped drinking beer underaged and the cop dumping out all the beer and telling us to go home.

^This is a big one that I feel like younger folks don't understand. Every weekend our goal was to not get found by LE and it was their goal to find us. They knew it and we knew it. Sometimes they won, sometimes we won. But everyone loved the game. They'd just laugh at us as we poured it out. We'd just laugh when we pulled out our backups as they left.

How about carrying knives in school. I was never without a knife since elementary school.

Playing dodgeball at school. Or kickball. Choosing sides. Winning and losing.

Good one. I always had a Victorinox Spartan or Tinker on me.

I was in a meeting yesterday with people around my same age. Someone mentioned "phone book" as a description and I felt the need to point out that some people may not understand that reference.

Me too. Got my first Tinker when I was in 2nd grade. Lost it years back and kick myself for that. Would have loved to hand it down to my son.

All of my friends and I had pocket knives in early 90's high school. When did society get so fucking stupid that a having pocket knife means you are a "threat"?

Wish that were true at my school. Girl started a fist fight & after I endured a couple of sucker punches I knocked her out, but because I fought at all, my grandfather's pearl handled knife was 'confiscated' after 2 years of me carrying it to school everyday. It was spun into big deal too until the shop & english teachers both spoke up to confirm I always had it & wasn't carrying it to harm someone. To be clear, it never left my pocket. Still, I wasn't allowed to wear it after that.

They still make them. You can still get him one...and replace your own.
