Childhood games

[snoorkel]

we had this game called "new york city" where the "immigrants" would try to climb up the tube slide any way they could to get onto the top platform, while the "police" on top would "beat them down" as efficiently as possible

there was also this other game where we ran around with those big foam hockey sticks and beat people with them

in the winter I think king of the hill and constructing Bag End were favorites

i always hated the days when everyone played kick ball so i just tried to be the farthest out beyond the bases and then deliberately missed the ball when the other team kicked it at me. (i wsn't allowed to kick for this reason)

The first one sounds like it was tons of fun.

We had something similar I think in elementary school but it didn't really involve a tube slide. Brilliant

Did you post this story before?  I remember reading it somewhere.


Oh you did 3 years ago

omg we played this awesome game called "new york city"

some people would be at the top of the slide and the other would be at the bottom, the bottom people were immigrants trying to climb up and the people at the top were policemen beating them back.

we had no idea it was socially unacceptable in every way possible but it's fucking hilarious to think about.
