Strange Childhood Obsessions
- Thread starter MoFo
- Start date
there's probably different variations of the game, but the way we used to play:
a group of kids would throw a ball against a wall.
kids would then try to catch the ball
if you fumbled the ball, you had to run and touch the wall before another player picked up the ball and throw it against the wall.
if the ball hits the wall before you do, you get a strike.
3 strikes, and you're fucked.
you have to stand facing the wall, every player gets one attempt to nail you in the ass from a distance away.
that was some fun shit.

Also,
- The Hardy Boys. Chet too.
- Muscle Men
- Fort Knox on my Vic 20.
- Karate magazines and ninja outfits.
- A blanket named Gingy. It was a sad day when it mysteriously disappeared.
- My sisters Sweet Valley High Books.
- The movies Rad and Gleaming the Cube.
- Becoming a Dairy Farmer.
- Running away like Huck Finn. I ran away 6 or 7 times, getting progressively father and farther away from home. I had visions of working on boats and sailing from continent to continent. When I was 14 I got caught at the airport with $4000 in bond money trying to fly to Florida. That's the last time I ran away.

Me. So there!
Dood, I was reading Sidney Sheldon novels in 5th grade.
And I watched a profuse amount of Geraldo and Sally where they had "lipstick lesbians" on. From then on, the term just stuck in my mind and every time I saw Leeza Gibbons look-a-likes at malls and such, I'd coin them "lipstick lesbians."
And I grew up watching Sesame Street, Gilligan's Island, Three's Company, Webster and KITH. Every Thursday at 7 pm. Sometimes it was on later and I'd tape them as well. Even ask my mom. I was obsessed with them all the way up to 7th grade.
My best friend and I went to go get the tickets to a taping when we were 12 only to find out that they had JUST taped the last episode ever.
The Official Rules of RedAss (tm)
-The ball can't bounce twice before you catch it.
-You rotate the catcher every turn.
-When throwing the ball, the ball must not bounce before it reaches the wall
-If no waterfalls* is called before play begins, then waterfalls are disallowed and anyone who throws a waterfall is automatically Red Ass.
-Anyone who loses the ball (throws it on the roof or whatever) is automatically Red Ass. If no suitable replacement ball is available, then other players may resort to doing a "Punch Buggy".
*A waterfall is when a thrower tosses the ball softly and at a high angle, such that it brushes the wall and bounces at a very short distance away from the wall, forcing the catcher to run up to the wall in order to catch it before the second bounce. Sort of like a "drop shot" in tennis.
