Nut game - i think thats what we called it. Basically two people sat on opposite ends of the locker room with legs spread open. you take turns rolling/bouncing a baseball trying to catch the opponent square in the nads. Not a fun game when you lose.

Bloody Knuckles, the quarters variant.

We also used to go to the community garden near my house and have squash fights in the middle of the night.

Dad had 5 daughters before he had a son.

We could be pretty brutal. We did the many above mentioned games and "fights" but i haven't seen anyone playing our game yet.

It's "nightttime tackle box wars". we would get Daddy's glow in the dark lures, and then turn off all the lights in the house at night and then run around throwing glowing tackle at each other.

We used to ride trees down... 1 guy climbs up a small tallow tree (15'-25') and the other kids chop it down and the climber rides it down. No one ever got hurt that I remember but it probably wasn't the smartest game.

only a few times per year but launching Roman candles at each other was just about the stupidest, no eyeware.

King of the Hill on one of those massive mulch piles right before they would spread a new layer on the playgrounds at school

We'd also tow someone behind a go-kart on their skateboard.

I saw a guy get a good piece of his face blown off about 6 feet from me.

I didnt think they even made the ones we got. They were a tiny little thing, but if the hit you in the chest from about 25 foot away they would leave a scar you keep with you for you life.

BB gun wars. No eye protection.
A bb to the forehead hurts.

Bottle rocket wars.
We would get like five gross each and use torches.

Police came every year.

Lawn Darts Dodge

BB gun wars - no one adhered to the pump limit. Someone always got one in the nut sack.

Roman Candle wars - lost all hair on one side of head.

Screwdriver game - throw it in ground and make it stick. The person had to spread leg out that far. Someone always got stuck or it hit hard ground and bounced to stab someone unintentionally.

Slingshot wars - serious slingshots with crabapples, but some dick always used marbles or rocks. Talk about pain!

Thump, where you would hold hands together in a horizontal prayer position and take turns thumping one another until someone quit. Actually broke a guys pinky in that game.

Bloody knuckles

BB gun wars

Wall ball. Bounce a rubber or tennis ball off a wall and whoever didn't catch it had to tag the wall while others had the chance to hit them with the ball before they made it to tag.

This thread is bringing back some serious memories. Jesus we did some stupid stuff. Firework wars, stupid wrestling moves, rock throwing (chipped tooth! thanks!), boxing. Suicide was a good one. Bloody knuckles / thump? Pencil "crack"?

Besides many of the games listed, we also played a game we called stretch, which was played similar to twister except we threw a knife into the ground by each other's feet to indicate the spot that your opponent had to move his foot to, while keeping the other foot planted in its original location.
