    Kids Today!

    A thread about kids today. Not your kids. Everybody agrees your kids are wonderful and perfect and (making appropriate goo goo faces while, behind your back, "Jesus Christ is that thing even a vertebrate?") gifted.

    As a thread starter, the first definition is a game which somehow my group of kids growing up (for the purposes of this comparison, 1970s) never played, and as such I think it's the only thing I've ever heard of kids now doing that we didn't do.

    How about you people? Kids from the 90s? Flyovers? When did this start happening? I have to admit for pure terror and humiliation and stupidity it's a perfect game for JHS.

    BTW, the second definition I have heard of as a frat haze but then it was just called "cookie." Supposedly it isn't an urban legend even though it sure sounds like it.

    So you played the second definition of the game?

      I never even heard of that game.

      Now, to be fair, we played "Smear The Queer" (aka Smear The Quarterback). We didn't understand what "Queer" meant. We were too young and the slang definition was never taught to us, and how that word was wrong in slang form. It rhymed, so it stuck.

      I highly doubt any version of that game is played anymore.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        We played StQ and knew exactly what it meant. Endless amounts of juvenile male humor/bullying involved throwing around gay taunts. Little boys are charming.

            I find it very difficult to believe little boys aren't still proto-Republicans: growing up with the dumber ones every other word was gay this or n-word that. But maybe it's changed. My Mom told me how on Sundays in the town she grew up in the 1930s in Western PA all the kids would get dressed up in their best clothes and go to church: the Polish Catholic Church, the Czech Catholic Church, the Ukrainian Catholic Church, the (my favorite) Ruthenian Catholic Church were all on the same block. And then after church all the little boys would go home, change their clothes, and come outside and have rock fights based on national origin. On special occasions they'd all team up and throw rocks at the Jewish kids. Yay, Jesus.

            Well, we didn't have that sort of ethnic idiocy when I was a kid in the 1970s and we don't now in the 2010s, even at CPAC. So who knows? Maybe little boys today have finally gotten over it on race and homophobia. But I highly doubt it, especially on the latter. The fear of being called "gay" is hardwired into every little boy for whatever stupid reason, even when his parents aren't raging psychopathic religious homophobes.

                            I had heard of something similar as possibly part of a fraternity initiation, but I wasn't in a frat, so no idea if it was true or not.

                              King Of The Hill was awesome. However, at school, all the snow was piled near the pointy-topped chain link fences, so they banned it.
