The ultimate boy game take a ball throw it in the air and whoever catches it runs for the goal with everybody chasing em. Either you make it to the goal or you toss the ball.
Than even If you make it to the goal your reward is to turn around and face all the niggas that just finished chasing you and run thru them to get to the opposite goal

I remember that after a blizzard the schools would push all the snow in a big ass hill on the playground, we would be on that Mfer playing " King of the Mountain" and best believe when that shit turned from snow to ice somebody was going to get fucked up with a busted lip, concussion or broke arm...we was on it like:
or we was sliding in the STREET thru 4-5 inches of snow on
or a
if we couldnt find somebody with a sled

1996 - While in college in ATL
- Being in the library all fucking day doing research. Even on weekends
- Getting to school mad early just to get a PC to use.
- Lining up at a PC in the computer lab to write a report.
- And as a CS/CIS student, in the lab all day working on code
I grew up in Nigeria (From 84-96) so shit was different:
- Summertime - playing outside all fucking day long. Just make sure your ass is home before it gets too dark.
- Stealing peoples chickens and cooking them. We had a gang of folks who will steal the chickens, while someone else brings rice or something else. They'll cook and have a ball
- Turning abandoned fields to soccer fields and play all day.
- Cellphones/Phones - Nah, you walk your ass to your friends house and pray that motherfucker was home
- Walking everywhere. Long ass walks to school
- Rock wars, throwing rocks at one another, or using rubber bands with paper bullets.
- Fights - Our weapons were knives and bottles. I was an expert in cracking a bottle and using it to stab motherfuckers.
- Not using calculators to solve math problems. We had what was called a Math Log book, which is what we used to look up the Sine, Cosine or Tangent values for angles, or to find the log value of a number.
- TV not coming on till 4pm, kicking off with the National Anthem, and goes off at 12am. These days folks in Nigeria get the same stations we have here. 24/7 TV.
- Shooting pool all day long. Be in the pool hall from like 11am to 9pm...What a life...
- Porn - Hard to come by. You had to get a tape from someone back then.
- Just lounging without a care in the world.
- Tapes - you cherished your cassette tapes. MP3...what? If your tape pops, or if the player eats it, you're in tears...
I can go all day...
Awesome!
but the tape thingy,
I learned from the older cats who
were all tryin to be grandmaster flash..
but had no mixer, so made fake mix tapes,
using the pause button on the mini boom box, couldnt really afford the real boom boxes with the alarm and shit.....
anyway they taught us how to just scotch tape those cassette tapes
together....just a minor skip where the tape ripped but other than that you were good son....
I wouldve loved to spend some childhood years in Nigeria...
I just wouldnt talk about religion tho....
cmon son,
you know you ran the hood if you had one of these,
I was on training wheels and always said I wanted one,
by the time I learned how to ride, that shit was played out..
who used to fuck with play dough tho???
I never knew you were a chick tho!
cool city!!!
thats so true, when a chick had a nice body, aint nobody
was asking..
are they real??
but to be truthful some chicks were stuffing their bras
with fake shit tho..
Cable Boxes

it was a Cable Network in NYC
