We played quarters at lunch. See, you hold a quarter on its edge, and flick it so it spins. Then the other person has to flick it so it keeps spinning.
If you knock the quarter over, or off the table, you have to put your knuckles on the table while the other person whings the quarter at your hand with their thumb.
In my final years of highschool there was a “game” played every Thursday for a couple of weeks. If you were asked what day is it and answered “Thursday”, you’d get a punch to the balls, because the slang word for “balls” in my language rhymes with “Thursday” in my language. I don’t know who came up with this stupid game and how he spread it, thing is you had to be careful to not to answer to anybody who asked you the day.
Huh. We literally just skipped to the part where we launch quarters at each other’s knuckles to make each other bleed.
This was middle school. Appropriately the game was called “Bloody Knuckles,” which is also the name of the new and exciting Deviantart group I just made up in my head
At my school bloody knuckles skipped the quarters and was just kids hitting each others hands with a kind of downward swiping motion of the knuckles into the other kids knuckles. And it wasn’t first to bleed, it was first to quit. Lots of dumbasses wound up with broken hands.
We just drew those pointy S-es until the teachers started suspending kids for writing “gang signs”.
There was also “you’re stuck with it”, where if someone called your name and you answered “what”, you were “stuck with it”. What “it” was exactly, was never defined as far as I remember.
I once observed that Bumblebee couldn’t be a VW Beetle in the Bayformers movies b/c VW didn’t want their product associated with violence…
…then they ran their own adverts focusing on “Punch Bug”… (see a VW, punch somebody)
hmm
Walkerton can’t lead
I’ve informed the police and they’ll leave us alone.

What manner of foolery is this?
That is a really stupid game. I’m glad my friends and I never played this in school.

Whoever bleeds on the table first loses.

The game stopped when the bleeding hurt so much you were willing to lose to make it stop

NO COMMENT!
Now no one can comment for five minutes!
hmm, no one did, in fact
It stings a bit at first
I’ve got tip.
Don’t interrupt me.
Smart
Set the bomb
But, was there more or less punching after this game was created?
It’s a fun game unless you’re punched in the mouth or something.
The version I remember from middle school required the punching to be limited to the shoulders/arms.
HERE’S THE PUNCHING WE’VE BEEN LACKING IN THIS MONTH’S DOA
what the hell
