Flinch

[YOhio]

That was a sweet game. You pretend to punch someone, if they flinch you get to hit them twice on the shoulder and then wipe it off. If you don't wipe it off then they get to hit you ten times.

Another cool game is when you make the "OK" sign with your hand and then hold it down below your waste. If someone looks at it, then you get two hits. If that person breaks the circle without looking then they owe you ten.

People don't like playing Flinch with me. I never flinch. I never get scared. I never lose.

Never? I don't think so.

How did these games ever develop such rigid and universal rules? Those are the same rules I remember for both games.

Another one is the game "Perdiddle," which wiki informs me is really pronounced "padiddle," but I never said it like that. Y.O., apparently you call it "Buckeye" in Ohio. Sheesh, try some creativity.

As I remember the game, the first person in the car to spot another car w/ one headlight would shout "perdiddle!", kiss their hand, touch the roof of the car, and then slam their fist down on another passenger's leg. Unless, of course, the passenger were to shout "beer!" first. I don't recall what the penalty was for giving a dead leg after someone shouted "beer!" but I'm sure there must have been one.

Well, you are wrong. So wrong that I am ROTFLMAO!!!!! So wrong.

This is where it's just so sad to watch you. So sad. I know for pretty much a 100% fact that you flinch. You get scared and yes, you lose.

Link?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

UteStar, you can't always be so strong. I know you've been hurt before and I know the pain it's caused you. But if you want happiness, you have to tear down these emotional walls you've built for yourself. You have to open up and let somebody in.

You have to flinch. You have to be afraid. You have to lose.

Eff off, wiki. I remember that as "perdiddle!" as well. Also related was Slug Bug (sadly only applicable in Mexico these days), and we had hybrid rules involving VW buses and blanket parties.

Thanks for the advice, but to be honest, I don't think I can.

Paddidle (and I enjoy the apparently Utah pronunciation of perdiddle) rules in the late 60's Bay Area were quite sexist. If the girl saw and announced it first, she got to slug the guy in the arm; if the guy were first, the girl had to kiss him. Because I was always an excellent driver, with my attentions focused solely on road safety and the welfare of my passengers, I always lost this game.

And may I say that the riveting exchange between YO and Utestar in this thread reaffirms my desire that when they go in for joint therapy I want to be in the group.

Growing up in the late 60s in the Bay Area I am sure you know all about joint therapy.

WHen you choose to drink beer, is it a dos equis?

Is that true, PAC? Did you ever smoke marijuana cigarettes*?

*I believe that's what he meant when he said "joint". I could be wrong though.
