Thanks for the list but scratching mosquito bites is mandatory.

Lone Lock on Good Ole' Mountain Dew...Scout Song

Wed, 17 May 2017 05:00:57 -0400

My son is a cub scout and part of scouting is singing. A popular song is Mountain Dew. It is a really catchy song with various verses. What verses have you heard?

Yes I can google it but there are many made up unofficial verses that are more current with the times.

Chourus
They call it that good Ole' Mountain Dew
And men that refuse it are few
I'll hush up my mug if you fill up my jug of that Good Ole' Mountain Dew

Verses
Not far from here there's an old holler tree
where you lay down a dollar or two....or three
You go round the bend and you come back again
There will be a jug of that Good Ole' Mountain Dew

My Uncle Mort is really short
He stands about four foot two...or three
He feels like a giant when you fill up his pint with some of that GOMD

I always thought my aunt made that game up. We played Hand and foot every night before she passed for around 10 yrs. Haven't played it in almost 20 yrs. 😀

Haven't played Hand and Foot in a while. Used to play Nerts (kinda like Dutch Blitz or Blitz). Have Uno in the camper all the time. There is a version called "cut-throat" Uno. You might end up drawing 20!

As a kid I learned how to play Kings Corners while camping and I have started teaching the girls how to play.

Best Regards,

We always have carried a deck of cards and play poker, crazy 8s, war, double solitaire, and probably others I've forgotten! I just bought "Deer in the Headlights" a few weeks ago but haven't played that yet. We also carry onboard Scattergories, Rummy Tiles, and a couple others that involve cards and chips. I bought the Mexican Train game but liked that so much that I did not want it kept in the camper but home where we could use it more often.

Does anyone play cards while camping? What games?

We enjoy playing a game called 'Hand and Foot'.

I live in that region and have done it many times.

If you do it between Memorial Day and Labor Day you can get free portage of yak and camping gear. Google monroe county transit authority for more info.

One of the few games (sports?) I could and would still play.
Kickball is always fun.

I think we can play with the kids.....there are only a few little ones we have to make sure we don't trip over. And if we do I think Nathan and Tommy can walk it off.

We are in. I think this is going to be hilarious. We will have to have 2 games one for all and the adult only version. Chief

Sure,if we are there at least 2 will play. Bobby has a karate tourney in Hershey in am. Hopefully we'll be back just after lunch. A lot of that depends on how many participants there are.

We all played kickball at somepoint in our lives.....usually when we were kids. We all made up rules depending on the shape of the field, age/size of the players, and just to make up a rule. It sounds like some people are interested in playing kickball at the NE Thanksgiving Rally and it got me thinking...

What odd rules did you have as a kid? What cranky old neighbor would yell at you? What was your most glorious moment on the field?

Our rules were 1 roll/1 kick. no 3 strikes. You either kicked it or you didn't....however do-overs were common for any reason we came up with. To get a kid out we would throw the ball at them. We weren't supposed to throw it hard, but we did.

Not in kickball but when we played baseball there was a cranky neighbor who would steal our balls. We played in a park and used a fence as a backstop. Once in awhile a foul ball would go up and back accross a street and be at the curb of this guy's house. He would come out, grab the ball and go back inside and not give it back. My friends father went over there and got the ball back. I don't remember fully what happend, just the guy stealing our baseball.

My most glorious moment in kickball. It was a great one. It was the end of the game. We were in a small gym at the end of a boy scout meeting. I was pitching to a big kid....you know the kind, he could kick it to the outfield and run fast and dodge the ball there was a very real possibility he could score. There was some smack talk. I got ready to roll it....it's coming towards him.....he smiles and goes for a big kick......and the ball hooks hard to the left. He totally whiffed it. He put so much effort into the kick that when he whiffed he fell flat on his butt. We all started laughing hysterically. That was a moment I will always remember.

I have kayaked that stretch of the Delaware, it's a great time. I need to check our calendar to see it we have plans.
