I used to love that when I was young. I lived in a rural northern city asa youth in the 1960s near Utica, NY.
We used to play with a tiny football, a swarm of boys running after the kid with the ball. We also played snowball dodge, where boys would run across a wall and avoid the gauntlet of flying snowballs.
When I moved to Miami, I brought one and was told that wasn't a good game for the playground. They never did much with snowballs either. When you had the ball, you were the center of attention, and it was a great esteem builder.

I totally forgot about that game! I was a fast kid and enjoyed making all the slow kids look stupid trying to catch me.

Council votes to rename "Smear the Queer"

The ISTQ council voted today to rename one of America's favorite pastimes."Smear the Queer," an incredibly fun game in which hordes chase down and tackle any person who has the ball, has been around since the gay old days of this country. The game, which involves manhandling your opponent and wrestling them to the ground, hasn't changed much throughout the years.

"For years, many a youth have played the game, chasing down the Queer. Of course, with Queer meaning the person who is different, the person who has the ball. Everyone wants his ball, so the best way for them to gain control of his ball is to smear him," stated council member John Conway.

"We were concerned that the game's name may be insensitive to those who are Queer. We don't want our children to grow up thinking it is okay to smear a Queer. Queers deserve the same amount of respect as the rest of us."

The council voted on "Smear the Tranny" since the transgendered community has yet to become a force to reckon with.

I've been forbidden to teach this game to the children by the matriarch of the house.

But then I've done many forbidden things......

It was a hoot.
