I grew up in northeast phila…in the ’60s we used to melt down solder and fill the bottlecaps to get some really deadly impact into the game. since the twistoff cap didn’t exist, the trick was to get the cap off the bottle without damaging the sides..this let you get the maximum amount of solder into the cap. We ended up making a rule (after some knock down and drag out fist fights) that the solder couldn’t crown over the top of the cap…it had to be flush…to try to equalize the game. My old man was an electrician, though, and the otherkids didn’t know that I was doping the caps with mercury. I would cast the lead around the mercury and my bombers were the B52’s of the block…

Wow! I just tried last night to teach my grandkids the one, two three o’leary game and couldn’t remember it. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who left messages about this game. I played it in the early 50’s and we used either a tennis ball or a rubber ball the size of a tennis ball. I couldn’t remember all of it but some of your messages have brought it all back to me. thanks.

The one I remember best…

The one I remember best was a clapping sort-of patty cake rhyme with two completely unrelated verses. But we always did both, the second one right after the first. The clapping was done sitting across from your best friend. The clapping steps were: 1) Clap your shoulders with your arms crossed. 2) Clap the top of your thighs 3) Clap your hands together 4) Clap your right hand across to your friends right hand. 5) Clap your hands together. 6) Clap your left hand across to your friends left hand. 7) Clap your hands together. 8) Clap both your right to your friends left and your left to her right together. Repeat over and over. One clap per syllable to the following verses: My mother told me if I was goody That she would buy me a rubber dolly My auntie told her I kissed a soldier Now she won’t buy me a rubber dolly. Three Six Nine The goose drank wine The monkey spit tobacco on the street car line The line broke The monkey got choked And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat. Clap-clap.

Hello to ALL- God This is a great website! I can remember playing Skelly in my great childhood days in the Bayview Projects in Brooklyn. Rainbow Clay from StarValue, pennies in the middle of Sunnydale milk caps, “kicksies” and those cheap little Ballantine Ale caps with the wax melted in. These are all fond memories of a game I will teach my kids to play, as well as other greats like Ring-a-Leevio, Building Tag, Poison Ball and Off the Wall…

I used to like a clapping rhyme, but I can’t remember how it goes. Some of the words I remember are; Fire cracker Fire Cracker Boom Boom Boom Fire Cracker Fire cracker Boom Booom Boom and a part that goes Girls do the curtsey Boys do the bow The boys go *whistle* the girls go *scream* I would appreciate it as I work with children and they often ask me what the words are. (please reply by email)
