We played a variation of the game, only we called it bloody knuckles. You would take turns placing a comb on top of your fist with the handle hanging over your knuckles. The other person would bring his hand up. grab the comb and try to hit your knuckles before you could pull your hand back. If you moved your hand back to early or if the comb falls off, the other player got a free hit. First one to bled is the loser. We always made sure we never had metal combs on the bus .

We used to play bloody knuckles but it was a whole different game. You and someone else would make a fist and keep punching each others fists at full strength until one of you gave up. Damn that game hurt!

Played a lot of Stickball and "Stoopball" when I was a kid back on Staten Island. We'd also play Army too (This was back during WW2). We'd dig fox holes and bunkers, and throw dirt clods at each other. They were supposed to be "Hand Grenades" We'd also play some game with bottle caps on the school playground. Something like shuffle board on a small scale It was so long ago I don't remember the fine points of it anymore. And there was that all time favorite card game "War" we'd sit and play on the front stoop!

Okay!! First you gotta get a goat....and a pair of rubbers for traction... none of that plastic stuff, you need real rubber.
