Yeah, baby, I DID shoot field goals with paper footballs!! That’s what Study Hall period was for.
what was the table top game with the 3 nickels, can’t remember
Don’t know … didn’t play that.
Quick search ….perhaps you’re thinking of Penny Football?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_football
=========
Or, Penny Hockey?
“Each team takes turns using three pennies to work their way across the board to score in the opponents goal.”

Hockey. You always had to flick the rear coin between the other two to advance across the table. (Similar to “the weave” pattern of player offensive movement down the play field)
The final shot was a flick into the table top ‘net’ or goal, …your opponent’s opening between his pinky and forefinger laid flat on the table top.
Is that the one where the ultimate point was to have your opponent’s face covered in pencil lead from the coins rolling down their face? Loved that game!
Hah. That’s a good one to show a know-it-all pre-teen, if you want to be playful with them.
Start with a math lesson about how to fraction a dollar bill, and why they’re called quarters.
Then ask them if they’re smart enough to pick one up off the table without using their fingers.
Then prove it possible, by using your 2 thumbs to sandwich the coin up off the table.
Next, tell them to take the aptitude test for intelligence.
With an old school lead pencil & a piece of paper, have them circle 1 quarter 4 times to draw one dollar fractionalized into quarters in a picture. To pass the test, now it’s their turn to pick up the quarter without using their fingers, and see if they can run the side of the coin from their forehead to the tip of their nose without dropping the quarter.
When the test is passed, take them in front of a mirror to show ’em how smart they are, or how playfully mean of an Uncle / Grandparent you are.
did any of you pitch coins against the wall or play odd man out?did you get caught?
Not only did you make the swing legs come off the ground, but at the very apex of the swing, you bailed out and yelled “Geronimo”.
Those were simpler days interrupted by shear terror at moments. I would not change a damn thing.
“It’s like my Mom always said…”
True then; even truer today.
with a nod to P.I.C., this goes well with the Irishman’s Best Of…
So we’re supposed to “celebrate” natural black hair. Numerous laws have been passed in many states regarding “hair discrimination” as if what they are talking about is allowing black women or men to wear their hair naturally. Yet THIS is the kind of shit they do that has NOTHING to do with anything natural in any way shape or form. Yes, I know this is an exaggeration, but the gorilla glue girl was attempting something very similar. And white girls are accused of “cultural appropriation” when they wear large hoop earings, while black women are perfectly fine walking around with blonde or red hair. Got it. Let’s do some humorous celebrating of those “natural” styles that need protecting:
Not even Gorilla Tape can fix stupid, but it does muffle the noise.
Might make a good birth control method. And is anyone shocked that the name of the product was GORILLA GLUE?? You just can’t make shit like that up.
And NO, you are not racissssss if you see NO irony in that idiot choosing that glue. After all, the product she ran out of was called GORILLA SNOT!
There is always this alternative to snot
Another from the “Feral” set. Worth sharing with any liberal folks who may still accept emails, etc. from you:
Just call me “Eddie’.
