I would have easily kicked all your asses in thumps. Especially if thumping the fingernails were allowed. That was my specialty - turning people's fingernails purple.
B spike. You couldn't say anything that started with the word B, unless you followed it with Spike. If you said a B Word, and don't say spike, you get punched until you say spike. If you say spike but don't say a B word, you will get punched until you count from one to ten. Also there was this game where you made an okay sign. The sign where the thumb and index finger, and the rest of your fingers are just regular standing up. If you looked at it, you recieved a punch. You couldn't just place it in front of their face. Also, if you broke their sign, by putting your finger in it, and breaking it, you would get punched too.
Perhaps you would like to put your money where your mouth is. j/k The 2006 Annual ClutchFans Thump-Off. anyone? anyone?
I never understood why we got in trouble for playing pencil break either. As far as thumps goes, I was undefeated through elementary and middle school.
In college, my friends had this idea to make a mockumentary about like a proffessional pencil break league. I hated the idea, but I wanted to try and make a movie and this was the only idea that really got them excited, though it waned within a week and I never even finished the script. It probably would have worked if I had tried to make it a short film to put on collegehumour or something. Oh, and the movie Dodgeball came out and made the general idea kind of moot.
Smear the Queer - One guy (the queer) with ball chased and tackled by mob, throws ball up, new guy catches, now they are the queer. We would play this for hours or until someone was injured. I have no idea why they chose to label the ball carrier the queer.
Used to play that one all the time. And after a touch down (you had to flip the coin up from the edge and catch it) you'd go for the point after by spinning the coin, catching it between your thumbs and the flipping it over the uprights. Only 3 pushes??? Didn't expect you would play canadian ball.
The other game that was all the rage in grade school was flipping hockey or baseball cards against the wall. i don't remember all the rules now...but it could get very techincal. And negotiations over which cards to play could last for days!
It's on!! I'm undefeated from back in middle school. I even let people use a pencil one time when they thought they had the advantage. The pencil just broke on my fingers. No one wanted to play me anymore from then on. No one mentioned Open Chest?
What a scofflaw. Thumping the fingernail resulted in five free thumps for the aggrieved party in our version of the game. It's like saying "I'd be great at boxing as long as I could kick people in the nuts"
yeah i remember that...and with pencil break you got 3 licks on the pencil if yo missed or hit the person on the hands.
ahh, flicking the tab of the coke can. good times. I was in grade school, and I did this at lunch. It hit a teacher in the head. Teacher came over, and no one said anything. I was hero for the day. Acorn wars was also fun. Later in middle school, some kids thought it was cool to be held down, and not breathe until the passed out. I was too scared to try. Anyone remember rubber pencil?
That was a game I played in junior high school - called it coin basketball. Paper football, rock, paper, and scissors, and kill the man as well as four square, keep away, and dodgeball were other popular games. Don't really remember pencil break, though.
