Do you remember Mumbly Peg ‘Gator? The pocket knife throwing game where ya tried to stick it in the ground as close to your foot as possible, from MANY years back? Any patch of grass before school, during recess and lunch time and after school also. The kickers were: Damn near EVERY guy carried a pocket knife to, during and from school every day AND the game was played right on school grounds! Heck, we even had the teachers who served as the school’s playground monitors act as a referee if 2 fellas had a dispute regarding just which kid had stuck his knife closer to his foot!! We played for one penny a game and if ya ‘stuck’ your own foot that was an automatic winner....unless the other kid decided to go for the tie, (One penny was big dough!), with his next toss! Things were sure different then...
That sounds like an awesome game. I was growing up when the sissification had already started. No pocket knives for us.
