Kiss 'n Tackle

Hey, it beats spin the bottle, and even half-rubber for that matter. People, this is genuine entertainment.

At age 13, there was no better sport in the world than a good 'ol round of kiss and tackle.

For those of you who never played, the set up is similar to duck-duck-goose...circle of people with one in the middle. And yeah, the one in the middle lost the last round, so to speak.

The boys are assigned numbers, the girls letters, then a bingo-sounding combination is called, like G-7. Now. Who chases who depends on who lost the last round. So let's say that last time's loser, and therefore this time's occupant of the center chair, is a female.

Let the games begin. The next two players are getting ready to run. HE (7) wins by getting to the female in the center (home-base) and kissing her, which will prove to be an arduous journey. This is because SHE (G) wins by stopping him…tackling and laying one on him before he can get to her.

He loses, he’s in the middle, and when the next two are called, the guy gets to do the chasing.

People are slung, attacked, tripped, climbed upon, thrown onto innocent bystanders, held down, etc., all the while providing entertainment for the rest of the circle.

What doesn’t this game have? Huh? Challenge, intrigue, sex, violence... That’s what I’m talking ‘bout!

Where you say, did I ever engage in such a foul activity?

Duh... Church camp.
