Traditions from the past: deceased insect, inside carrier landings and bat hangings? Hear of them? Participated?

To develop a sense of cammeradery, , I saw several "games" being played in the club. Sally's was a hole in the wall but everyone loved it and many participated in said games; this still was about Vietnam Era times. I'm only claiming deceased insect; didn't want to buy the whole busy bar a round. These are from the 70s

Didn't play any games in the club. Horse and Cow (famous or infamous submarine bar) is a different matter but, honestly, I can't remember the nights there. :)

at Great CostMy wingman and I - in our trusty Marine Vought F -8 Crusaders - were clawing our way back to home base - in the klag - after another one of those highly unsuccessful night dive bombing missions - under the Blind Bat's flares somewhere around a place called Tchepone.
