Anyone remember pencil fights?

this game was played by holding a pencil on both ends
while the other player attempted to chop through
it with their pencil, using a specific flipping motion.

Mom never understood why I went through so many damn pencils

I can't imagine paying money for pieces of cardboard/paper to flick at other pieces of cardboard/paper..

I spent a lot of time playing with Legos (before they had preformed pieces), and Lincoln Logs (which, after I build the house, I promptly moved some dolls and cooking stuff in to - my brother used to have a fit because he thought it should be stables for horses).

I hated those. For some reason my pencil always broke on the first fricking try. I guess I never figured out the trick.

I filled my room with a lincoln log village. There were no dolls allowed. My mother thought I would become an architect, she was wrong.

no, no, no....
You stack the cardboard and hit them with a METAL disk,
forcing some of them to flop over. The smaller the stack, the harder to flip.
The heavier the slammer, the easier to flip.

Then who cooked/cleaned in the village???

(I still have my original Lincoln Logs, and Tinker Toys - no Lego's tho).

Where'd the metal pieces come from? All I ever saw were the cardboard thingies.

Nobody lived there. It must have been only "show homes". The point was the building, not a place to play. Some were even rather elaborate. Sometime I will have to steal one of the pictures from ma and see if I can't post it online.

Well, you're never going to make any money that way!

Knuckles anyone???

This game was STUPID.

You play knuckles by both players making a fist, and putting them together
The "you go first" person would then attempt to bang their
fist down on the other persons knuckles before they could move
them away. If the "you go first" person misses, then turn then
goes to the other person. If you anticipate the punch and move
to early (flinch) then your opponent got a free hit and you weren’t allowed
to move for that hit. First person to give up, lost.

That's why I never became an architect. I couldn't have people moving into and ruining my works of art!

We played one where you would have a guy scratch with his fingernail on the back of your hand, they would count how many times they were able to scratch before you said ouch. The one with the most amounts of scratches before they said ouch won. I was king of this game. I have a scar on the back of each hand....

Boy were we stupid!

 

[Shattered]

Good grief.. Well, I suppose that's no less stupid than playing "chicken" with a pocket knife...

We did it without the face sheilds, until one of our friends got a BB permanently lodged into his chest (and we were punished so severely we never thought of doing it even with face shields and extra clothing). They never removed it. He brought the X-Ray to "Show-and-Tell".

Later we got blow guns, we removed the needles and bruised the crap out of each other with the much larger plastic beads...

Add boards with bricks so that you would hit each other while in the air. Hours of fun!
