		<description>Hey Barry, That took me back man. I grew up across the street from Parsons Junior High and also went to P.S. 154. Mr. Glickstern was the principal and I can honestly say that I got a good education. Fond memories include being a crossing guard and being able to wear that belt and badge. Also play punch ball and scelly. I am 40 years old now and truly feel that my childhood was so enriching because of that Queens, NY experience. From having a paper route in the neighborhood I really got to appreciate my childhood immensly. Ringolario was a game we really did enjoy and seemed that we would play all day.  Although like you I had a real good memory of the days before school at p.s. 154 and the swings and monkey bars. We used to jump over the fence in front of the swings, sitting down or standing up. Oh yes, I wouldn't trade my childhood for nothing.</description>

		<description>Kerry -- does this sound like Bedlam...

"This game requires four teams of equal size. Each team takes one corner of the room or playing field. The play area can be either square or rectangular. At a signal (whistle, etc.), each team attempts to move as quickly as possible to the corner directly across from them (diagonally), performing an announced activity as they go. The first team to get all its members into its new corner wins that particular round. The first round can be simply running to the opposite corner, but after that you can use any number of possibilities, such as walking backward, wheelbarrow racing (one person is the wheelbarrow), piggyback, rolling somersaults, hopping on one foot, skipping, and crab walking. There will be mass bedlam in the center as all four teams crisscross."</description>

		<description>I've often been tempted to visit my old stomping grounds and teachers when I go back home.  I end up stopping myself because I'm afraid I want to go back for the wrong reasons.</description>

		<description>The Montreal Jews started moving to Toronto because of the crazy French language laws. Oy, I can't believe in all my ramblings about L.A. delis I've never mentioned the best--LANGER'S--which is right in my neighborhood. It's now only open till 4 pmeach day because Jews are too afraid of the inner city 'hood, but it's the only deli left that still hand cuts pastrami and serves it on double-baked rye bread. Just the best.</description>

		<description>that IS like kick the can though, isn't it?  except like kevin said.. without the can.  but!  aside from that part.  and the name.  and what you have to say when you catch someone.  ok, fine, it's NOT like kick the can, dammit.  

i grew up in jersey and have sooo never heard of this crazy game.  we played the always-pc "smear the queer" (long before we had any clue what a queer even was)</description>
