All the kids in our neighborhood used to come out after dark & play flashlight tag. Or how about "Smear the Queer"....we couldn't play that today...the name is a hate crime.

I had forgotten about "smear the queer", you would be expelled from school for saying that today. Another huge difference is the fact that things we had to beg and in some cases coerce girls into doing when we were teenagers, these girls are now being taught to do in third grade and told that "experimentation" is fun.

"Smear the Queer"

I remember that one,too! LOL here! All the things we did wrong by today's standards, look how we turned out. RIGHT THINKERS!

We were actually playing playing RUGBY and didn't know it!

Hehehehe...I have a permanent scar above my left eyebrow from Smear the Queer. Got hit, the doc stitched it up, then I played in my little league basketball playoff game that night. Little wusses today would miss a week of school if they got a bump on the head like that.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Heh, we used to call the flashlight game "German Spotlight." I remember the toy rayguns that were flashlight when you pulled the trigger, SSP Racers where you stuck in the plastic stick and yank it out to make 'em go, The Vertibird helicopter, and so on. Here is another indicator of age, anyone remember Marx Toys, they made toy guns and an inclosed shooting gallery. I think I had a toy Tommy gun made by Marx where you pulled the trigger and it made the sound effect. Let's see, I remember slot cars, Matchbox cars (I still collect 'em), and Hot Wheels.

BTW, I'll be 38 next month. B-)
