Not the way we played it. It was brutal. We lost kids.

SFC Drake,

Dodgeball was the best game ever! It was a great way to express oneself without hurting anyone. Scrabble was fun, too.

SFC Drake, if we ever run into each other I challenge you to a game. But I only play for keeps!

But, to answer the question. Anything outside related. My daughter asked me the other day how I got the scars on my knees? I told her I got them falling off my bike. She called me a klutz. I told her we would try to jump the 7 foot wide irrigation ditch behind the neighborhood. Afterwords she called me a dumb klutz.

So what you're saying is? Is that a challenge to play marble? Let me tell you something, you will lose your house, refrigerator and all means of self support, I will make you as desolate as the Sahara Desert is dry. Also I will take all your marble and give then to Goodwill...lol! Name the time and place, plus air fare and I will be there, even if I have to take a cab!

Throwing/Flipping Cards was a game usually using a Stairwell ledge and throwing your Sports cards with a flip of the wrist at the corner if my card lands on yours I get to keep it. Game is every bit as old as Marbles, T-Ball and Foursquare.

1. Fighting for no reason
2. Baseball
3. Water gun fights which eventually evolved into shooting each other with bb guns (no more than 2 pumps allowed)

I see right now, your criminal background needs to be revisited! Ha! A future felonious villain has arrived!

Axis & Allies. The tough part was finding enough like minded friends to play. We had a group of us that got together after school or on a weekend here and there.
