Playtime.

As we all come from different places in time and space I thought it would fun to have a thread about games people used to play in the playground or at parties.

To get the ball rolling I will attempt to describe a game which we used to play when I was a boy called Eggy Peggy*.

The game is played by three or more players (the more the merrier I suppose if you like that sort of thing).

One person is designated the caller by some method.

He or she stands in front of the the others in the group who call :

"Eggy Peggy lost her leggy what by?"

The caller devises a means by which the unfortunate young lady became unipedal (eg Washing Machines).

The others huddle together and choose an example each from the group of things the caller chose (eg Bosch, Hotpoint, Maytag, Zanuussi) and a spokesperson for the group will call them all out.

The caller chooses one of the examples (eg Maytag) and the person who chose that example and the caller hop on one leg and attempt to knock each other to the ground.

The first one to fall over becomes the new caller and the process continues until the bell rings.

I wish I could play this game right now but it's 1:15 in the morning and I have only an owl for company.

We played in college, but whatever.  Also, I wrote 95% of that article.

I would go into a world of my own imagination and play with myself (not in THAT way, you perverts!)

God doesn't think in terms of black or white - or even shades of gray - but in big, bright, bold hues of blue and orange.

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Another game we used to play was Apple Sauce.

It was basically British Bulldogs but played with an apple out of someone's packed lunch.

Crack the Whip

We played a game on the foursquare court, but it was like tag.  I can't remember what that was called.

I thought you played "Count the Mastadons" and "Name the Animals" and "Race across Pangea"?

... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

I can't work out how that would work. What is the apple for?

Throwing at people to tag them.

Ergo apple sauce as there tended not to be much of the apple left by the end of break.

Tagging is for pussies. In the proper rough version we played, people had to lifted so that no part of their body touched the ground long enough to chant "British Bulldog 1-2-3".

Believe me having a hard winter chilled object thrown at someone isn't for pussies (until the apple or the eyes/private parts became mush).
