Pencil Break!

[O.o Jack K5 o.O]

did anyone else play this ridiculous game in middle school? or is it just us hillbillies from texas?

[loki redfern]

is it th one where you lob a penci case from one side of the room to the other as hard as you can when everthe teacher leave the room

[O.o Jack K5 o.O]

No. One person holds their pencil horizontal in two hands, and another person uses their pencil to hit the first ones pencil. they switch and repeat until somones pencil breaks. that person is the loser.

 

you sort of flick your pencil at the target one. you'd know what im talking about if youve ever played it. middle schoolers really are devoid of any thought arent they?

[the dude]

my guess was the scenario where everyone gets up to sharpen their pencils at the same time just to piss the teacher off.

[SBoydW]

I did I did!!!!! Pentech #2 pencils RULED the known pencil break universe!

[O.o Jack K5 o.O]

a lot of people tried to break their pencil and insert a metal rod down the center. I super glued a bunch of popsicle sticks together, sanded it round, painted, and then sharpened it. colored the tip to make it look like a lead. that thing woudnt ever break. i tried jumping on it.

[SBoydW]

My pentech was 35-1-1 8) obiviously that is the final record since the second one meant I lost.

[Alys Kinch]

the trick was a flexible rather than rigid pencil. ;) ( :oops: )

[the dude]

we would just bash each other's knuckles with pencils and pens. it wasn't so much a game as it was warfare.

[Guest Cadsuane]

Haha, and here I thought this was a game like "take and break" or whatever from That 70's Show! You'd just go around breaking people's pencils. ^_^

[the dude]

i had this metal pen that was the terror of our friends....

[loki redfern]

did you ever do the game where one person put there knucles down at the end of a bench and the other person got a coin and slid it down the table as hard as they could at the others knucles. im not sure what the aim was, we didnt really stop untill there were copius amounts of blood, and every knucles was bleeding. sometimes it was that boring :D

[O.o Jack K5 o.O]

Yea, Ive played that one. we used a 50 cent piece once. dont reccomend it. now 'Take and Break'...that sounds fun! i always liked breaking the pencil when somone tried to get me to play "the stick game"

[the dude]

we just played straight-up knuckles where each person is effectively punching the other guy's knuckles until one gives up and is called a wuss.

Man, I *still* remember when I broke my favorite pencil with this game. Did I think 'noo, don't use a GOOD pencil in this game!' nope.

 

It was one of those wood pencils with an extra large eraser in a glitter-covered cap. (Used to be sold everywhere in the late 70s, early 80s. Gosh I'm old.)

 

As that was the last one in the pack, and Mom'd paid about $2.50 for the set (and that was a fair amount of cash for pencils, then) I cried so hard....

[SBoydW]

would it be cruel to laugh at that...?

[Alys Kinch]

only if your name is steve. :P

 

i remember knuckles too. and wall ball... much better (read safer) days when we decided to hide and play bullsh*t or hearts.

[the dude]

aaaah, knuckles. so many painful memories...

[SBoydW]

Oooooo Wall ball and knuckles.... hehehehe We used to play wall ball with a baseball.

 

I played a game of knuckles one time where we all taped sand paper to our punching hands...... possibly one of the dumber things I've ever done.

No, buddy, its not not really that high on the list ... :twisted:

 

I was going to give examples ... but that might invite retaliation in kind ... :oops:

[libertine]

No, bottle rocket wars in the church parking lot was the stupidest thing I ever did. Light the rocket, and throw it at your opponent. Whee!

 

One, one of the rockets decided to arc back somehow and got me across the upper arm. I think it hit a tree and bounced off at a new angle.

 

Two, the pastor caught us, and we got holy heck in front of the church proper that sunday.

 

(I was such a tomboy.)

I pencil fought with one of those 1/2" thick pencils from Disney World or something one time. That thing ruined lives...

[Niamh Sedai]

I never used pencils. Rulers were my weapon of choice. *grins* Nothing like testing just how flexible a flexi-ruler is ;)

[SBoydW]

hmmm.... rulers..... * goes to find out*

[Alys Kinch]

we always got a lecture when the rulers were brought out. even if we were only going to work with them. what, don't teachers trust students? :P
