Schools have. You would prolly get expelled for assault and sent to AEP.

Or have they become too wussified?

Is that the same as "slaps"?

No, idfferent game

I think you would hold your fists together, and one guy would raise his fist up and come down on top of the other guy's. It didn't feel too good.

You play it somewhat the same. You hold out your fist with a comb balanced on the knuckles. The other person tries to grab the comb then hit your knuckles with the teeth before you can pull your hand away. If you flinch and make the comb fall, they get a free hit. You play until someone draws blood.

We played it different. We played it where you start spinning a quarter. The next person has to flick it to keep it moving. If it stops or falls of the table, that person has to put there knuckles down on the table. The other guy puts the quarter on the table and uses his thumb to slide it as hard and fast across the table into the guys knuckles.

We played it where we would just hit each others knuckles with our fist.... and I play it with my 8 year old...so some kids do still play it.

How does a quarter draw blood?

It doesn't seem like it hurts. But, after about two good hits, it starts to take the skin off. Trust you'll bleed.

That was a fun game but it was no "Butts Up" or "Smeer the Queer."

I have scars on my knuckles from quarters. You get them moving quick enough and that edge will break skin. We got in serious trouble for playing that in middle school.

A buddy of mine had his hands turned black and blue playing slaps. He wasn't to quick on the uptake literally and figuratively.

i still play bloody knuckles w/my brother sometimes. it sorta sucks now that he is bigger than i am

I hope the kids still play. At least when they see the blood they'll know what the color red looks like. Considering schools are doing away with using red for correcting mistake on tests and shat. Don't want to make the kid feel bad by showing him/her they made a mistake.

Man these kids are all going to be a bunch idiot wussies.

We used to play Thumps. The teachers made us stop, and the the legend was that some kid up in Austin got a blood clot in his knuckles that wen to his heart and killed him.

we used to do the pencil eraser thingy, we would rub an eraser on the back of our hands until it rubbed through. The coolest kid had the biggest scar on the back of his hand.

Agreed. What kind of idiot doesn't want to voluntarily seek pain?

We bought those survival knives when Rambo came out because it was cool. We would slice each other across the back. Last person to fall down crying hysterically won.
