Do you guys remember any ridiculous games you used to play as a child? I had three older brother and most of my friends in the neighborhood had older siblings so naturally we beat each other up a lot. I woke up this morning realizing how cushy my life is knowing that getting beat up is not something I have to be concerned about in my adult life, much less than when I was a scrawny little kid with a squeeky voice, people would push me around all the time.
1. There was a game where you would make an O with your index finger and your thumb and you had to hold it below your waist. If you could get someone to look at it, you were entitled to punch the person. Like you could say "hey what's that on the floor" and if you saw the person see the O, you could hit him. The O had to be below the waist or it wouldn't count. I saw this on an episode of Malcolm in the Middle long after we were doing it, so im sure some people know about this.
2. Doorknob - if you existed, you are already playing the game. Whenever someone in the room would fart, they had to "safety" before anyone else in the room could yell doorknob. If someone says doorknob first, they can beat up the person as much as they want until they touch the nearest door knob, then the person would be safe.
3. Hertz donuts - I had a friend who asked me once if I ever had a hertz donut. I was a dumb 7 year old that liked donuts so naturally I said no. The kid returned with a paper bag, reached into it, and immediately withdrew his fist from the bag and punched me in the shoulder. "Hurts, dont it!?"
Anybody remember dead legs? Wet willies? People really dont punch each other enough anymore. What are some other ridiculous childhood roughhousing games you remember?
