Seeing all the postings…

Seeing all the postings bring back many memories. As a matter of fact every game I played as a kid is mentioned on this Website. Great! My fondest memories of Johnny on the Pony was during high school. We always played before classes begun and having picked our teams, there was always some guys waiting for the right moment to sneak in and take a shot. It was usually some big character trying to get his jollies off by piling on and breaking the “ponies” back. We usually had to line up again because no one saw the guy jumping on. I also remember being kicked in the head a few times by some wild cowboy type who came charging with arms and legs flailing…Late 1960s were some great and heady times.

Does anyone remember Mother,…

Does anyone remember Mother, May I? One kid is “the mother” and stands at one end, and all the other kids stand at the other end, about 30 ft. away. Mother says, “I want Jim to take six giant steps” and then Jim has to say “Mother, May I?” Mother says, “yes, you may”. If he doesn’t ask, he forfeits his turn. There were baby steps, scissors steps, banana steps, ??? The first kid to reach Mother wins. You could try to sneak forward, but if Mother caught you, you had to go back to the start.

I still have a 1966 pimple ball. We used two driveways for boxball in case we got chased from one or there was hanging wash in the way. Our stickball field was a bank parking lot behind Castor Ave; homers had to cross the lot and the street. Handball was played at recess and lunchtime at Carnell. For Deadbox, we put an extra cork in bottlecaps for added weight and control. We called manhunt “wolf”; kids on my street today play the same game and call it “freedom.” Running bases was for all the kids (including girls) of all ages, not just us “athletes.”

I grew up in Jersey City in the 70’s and we played this game called Caps(Skully) it was fun and I ruined many gallons of milk by stealing the tops of the containers. I also ruined a lot of pairs of sneakers dragging my feet across the board. We used play dough or melted wax with a penny in the middle to add extra weight. Also i dont remember all the rules you have listed here so I beleive we played a modified version sure brings back memories

I just spent about a half hour last night explaining the game Skully, that I played as a kid in Brooklyn (1965 Canarsie)to my wife and kids. Could not believe it when I found this website. I’m gonna spend some time this weekend making a few caps. Don’t know if the rest of the family will play but I sure am going to. Thanks!

I noticed that in many of the posts here referring to “Buck-Buck”, the player that stood against the wall was called the “pillar”. I’m an old south brooklyn boy and I played buck-buck regularly as a kid and we called the guy against the wall the “pillow” for what I thought was an obvious reason. If that guy wasn’t standing there it would have been murder for the first guy bent over when the other team jumped on their back. The force would push his head against the wall darn near breaking his neck. With a “pillow” there, he softened the crunch and there was less chance of getting hurt. That being said….”anyone wanna choose up sides and play?”

Hi Jordan, Please go to http://www.streetplay.com/rulesheets/skully/ and print out our skully rulesheet–it has the suggested dimensions for a “regulation” skully board. The variety of ways you can draw a board is amazing. You can use paint, chalk, or even electrical tape on a tile floor–a favorite of ours when setting up a board that needs to be easily removed later. -Hugh McNally
