You got it. That's the same thing. We used Beer cans (they were steel in those days).

Fun, huh.

When I was a child we played a game call Tag, but the only way you were able to play is if you had a pair of Roller Shates , Yes we played this game in the streets and on Roller skates on the South side of Chicago. It really was safe,

My fav game was what I thought was baseball. You go get your next-door neighbor, his bat and ball, and you go up to bat first, since you're "a girl". He pitches really well and you hit every pitch, but you don't run after balls unless they are nearby because you're "a girl". He retrieves for an hour, by which time the truth is starting to dawn on him, then you get bored and go home.

Then you get on your bongo board and watch TV...

What's a bongo board? I don't think we had them when I was a kid. Be gentle.......remember I was the guy who didn't know what a Chinese fire drill was.

No. It's one of the things I learned through this site. I've seen it in movies and stuff but never did it myself or knew what it was called.

In middle school this was always played at lunch break. Hurry up and eat then play dodge ball in the gym.
