Y’know the Flux Capacitor was really an Oscillation Overthruster
I was listening to a podcast the other day and someone was talking about games we used to play as a kid.
I have vivid memories of bodies, flying around playing Red Rover. Nothing quite like trying to take off someone’s head with your forearm

Is that young Nick Foles?
You should’ve seen how I decorated mine!!!
Paper bags were the go to.
I remember one year I used gift wrapping paper. But then that looked weird, like I was carrying gifts. So I undid it all and turned it inside out.
Leftover wallpaper or a roll out of the bargain bucket. Either way wallpaper was the go-to.
A friend’s mom had a Datsun 280 Z.
One day we are sitting in it in the garage. He decides to start the lighter and proceeds to poke it into the center console. Shocked that it left a ring, he decided a 2nd ring would throw off his mom.
Nope. She was mad!

I did this while my mom was grocery shopping. Stick shift car, parked on a hill. I was pretending to drive, let off the parking brake, and the car rolled right into the front of the grocery store.
Of course, my mom was paying zero attention, so in spite of the multiple overhead announcements about the car crashed into the front of the store, I had to sit there for another 20 minutes or so until my mom finished, checked out, and walked out to a large group of people gathered around her car, smashed into the front of the grocery store, with me, mortified, in the front seat……
Good times.

This is a great story!
I think I was about 6…..
I had a similar experience though at my grandparents cabin outside of Post Falls ID. The cabin sat on top of a hill, roll forward you get to the highway, roll backward you get to their orchard. A cousin and I jumped into my grandpa’s truck and pretended to drive, thankfully we rolled backward and though the gate into the orchard.

We didn’t have Pee-Chee folders. Lots of kids had Trapper Keepers.
