What I never got about The Game: do the ones you announce your loss to automatically lose as well?

Only if they remember they were playing when they heard you say you lost the game. Apparently...

I used to find long flat stretches, usually a lunch table at school, and would try to glide pieces of paper along the length by blowing behind the paper.

The idea is to get an air cushion to build beneath the sheet, lifting it and propelling the paper down the platform. I would often try to beat distance records, or several of us would get together to race to the finish line.

This eventually led to the construction of intricate designs of racers/airships.

Tons of fun, and it even works on a classroom desk, if you're off in a corner and nobody is paying too much attention to you! Gotta love ADD!

That kind of reminds me of knuckles...slide a coin fast across the table in order to hit the other guys knuckles. Taking turns, first to dodge or spill blood on the coin / table lost.

I remember that one as well, same with the spinning coin one where every takes turn to make sure the coin doesn't stop spinning.

And then I remember the recess time favourite, Redass. Get a bunch of kids and a tennisball, throws the tennisball against a big ol' school wall. If the ball is caught, the person that threw it is a free target until he runs and touch the wall. Each time that person's ball get caught, a letter get added. When someone managed to reach R-E-D-A-S-S, that person has to stand up against the wall (face toward it too) and every player gets to pitch the ball at them from a good distance away. It's not as painful as it sounds....really :P

Occassionally after a few beers I have been known to emabrk upon a game whereby I see how many donuts i can fit into my mouth!! Its more fun for viewers than myself i must admit!

My sister and I used to play "Guess how many," which meant guess how many grapes I have in my mouth. You had to stuff some grapes into your mouth and then say "Guess how many," so the more you had, the more it sounded like, "Mehff hoau mau-ee?"

How on earth did you count them to see if she was correct? *shudders*

Ha! You count them as you put them into your mouth. Then you nod yes or no as the other person guesses. Or you can point your thumb up or down to mean "higher/lower" after the guesser makes a guess.
