Nobody deserves to be beaten everyday. Hope it made you strong. Sometimes when people get bullied like you did, they turn into cops.

I was going to say we played that all the time in my neighborhood until the conversation went south. I guess I should have been poster 1 1/2.

My brother and I went to a Waldorf elementary school, maybe 150 kids K-8th grade full of hippies.....my brother in 3rd grade had a sea where we brought older relatives in, my mom brought in her Grandma (tough old broad, came here on a wagon started the local campfire girls and cooked everything in bacon). Kids ask my GG (in her 80’s at that point) “did you guys have paper when you were in school?” “What did you write with?” one kid asks “what did you play at recess?”

“Oh same as you kids, baseball, hide and seek, N****r in the mud”.....

That’s what they called smear the queer. Kids didn’t blink and said “oh cool!” My mom and the teacher were speechless and ghost white.

GG was also the first woman I ever saw smoke a cigar. She did this after long hikes up until she hit 88 then she couldn’t go camping anymore.

In high school whenever it rained and we could not practice on the stadium turf our coach would throw a football out on the alternate practice field and shout; "NO RULES!"

The most fun games I ever played. A coach would be fired instantly if he did that today.

we had a game called "toss up tackle".
whoever had the ball would run around within a preset area until tackled. Then he'd toss the football up and the guy who caught it would be the next victim

We played Aztec ball in high school, we were the Azusa High School Aztecs. Aztec ball was played on a muddy field and resembled soccer. The only rule was you better be muddy. If a player hung back or did not appear muddy enough, they stopped the game for a face off between the slackers, even if they were on the same team, they usually ended up face down i the mud. It was a great day for settling scores.

Morris Adler Elementary in Southfield, Michigan. Early to mid 1960's.

We used to play "kill the guy with the football." Wrong today, we always made sure the same one or two constantly-bullied kids had the ball so we could "kill" him/them. They were good sports about it, given that nobody liked them and they didn't have to choose to play. Later in life, during the early 80's, I regretted how we tread those one or two kids when one of them lived in my freshman dorm and wanted to be friends. He was cool and I apologized profusely.

Also played "Slaughter." We would line up with our backs to the brick wall and whoever caught the red ball thrown at them from like 15-20 feet away, would get to throw the next ball which if caught gave the catcher an opportunity to be the next thrower. We would throw the ball at each others' heads. There were some minor head injuries from this as the red ball wasn't full of air and you could really wail it.

Last, but not least, was dodge ball in the gym on the basketball court with volley balls. Getting hit could really hurt. Some times we were black and blue.

Some of this would not be allowed these days for good reasons, but we sure had fun.

One of the funniest things I've ever seen happened playing Dodge Ball....a kid kept jumping over balls thrown at his legs by doing this gay little "splits" jump. Another kid figured out and aimed a little higher. The ball ricocheted off his balls and when he hit the ground face down, he $hit himself. Had to be 40 years ago and I still laugh when I think of it

I always thought that a game called Kill the guy with the ball was pretty harsh.
Then I learned that some of you called it smear the queer.

I know kids will be kids, but wow.



When playing kickball or whiffle ball were you able to produce an OUT by throwing the ball at the runner?
If so, did you call it Indian Rubber?

Typical team was 5 kids on either side. Pitcher, two infielders and two outfielders. Beaning the guy with the ball before he touched base was an out. The same rule applied if you caught them leading off tiring to steal a base or if you got caught them between bases - a "hot box" also called "pickle in the middle." You'd have to tag them with the ball or bean them. Head shots count the same as a body shot.

We also had "pitchers hand." If you could return the ball to the pitcher before the hitter made it to first base, it was an out.

Indian sunburns don't ring a bell. It must be a New England term. Wisconsin territory was friends with the savages and the French fur trappers from Canada.

I grew up in Indian head country: the north western part of WI, border between WI and MN. The Mississippi River carves out a profile of an Indian head similar to the NH's crumbled Old Man on the Mountain.

Most of us had farmer's tans though. Is that close to an Indian sunburn?

it was during a game like this in high school, when all three P.E. classes were turned loose on the football field while the P.E. teachers filled out report cards, that I suffered a severe broken left wrist that has caused me pain and limited mobility for more than 50 years....

I was reaching with my left hand to grab the bouncing ball when an opponent kicked at the ball and struck my wrist instead...broke a bone that never healed correctly...the two broken pieces of the trapezoid are still there, held together by a metal plate and bone grafts...wrist is fused solid, so I can't bend or twist it...

I think the real name of the game is "cluster fluck"
