To Therese Moller, We used to play “hit the stick” with an ice-cream stick on a daily basis. I taught this to my grandson and he thought it was great.

I am looking for the finish to the rhyme that starts: Not last night but the night before, twenty-four robbers came knocking at my door. As I ran out, they ran in. Hit me on the head with a bottle of gin. It hurt, it hurt, it hurt all night I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said! That is as far as I get. Can someone please tell me what they wanted!!!!

This site is the greatest. My cousin and all my friends played skully for hours on end all summer in the 1940s in Manhattan. I taught my grandson how to play, my kitchen table became a skully board. I printed out the rules and board for him to share with his friends. Hopefully, skully will be around forever. We didn’t have any material goods in those days, but life was sweet and we were creative and enjoyed life.

I’m 36 and played skelzies in Greenpoint/Williamsburg Brooklyn in the late 70’s early 80’s. Hours and hours of fun… I made my daughter a skelzies cap today… going out to the playground in the afternoon.

My friends and I are going crazy because we can’t think of a word. What was it called when we bounced a ball under our leg, in games such as “A my name is…”?

Eeny meeny miny moe Catch a tiger by the toe If he hollers let him go Eeny meeny miny moe And you are not it Not because you’re dirty Not because you’re clean Just because you kissed a lady Behind a dirty magazine. Or someone picked a random number and you did this… Bubblegum bubblegum in a dish How many pieces do you wish …then count to the number that was chosen and whoever it lands on is “it”

First stopped by this site some three years ago. (Check out the jpeg link in the archives section of the old board we played on in the Bronx). Nice to catch up on all the new messages, seeing people from all parts posting about the game and how they share the message of skully with the next generation. Especially enjoyed the posts by Mark D. who’s incorporating the game into a discussion on science and John W.’s last paragraph perfectly sums it up of days-gone-by. Oh, and thanks Hugh for the rule sheet!
