[batmang]

pentel made the strongest penciles, they used shreadded whcih was put together really tightly, but because it wasnt one solid peice, it was harder to break, they were also thicker, which is good for the first strike! i miss pencil fights!

Where you weave the pencil between your fingers and slam your hand down on the desk?

Of course.

That's the way I remember, too. Never did the other one.

Did play paper football (fold a piece of paper up into a tight triangle and "kick" fieldgoals by flicking it thru the "uprights" - another guy's index fingers pointed up with his thumbs touching)

Or, you'd hold the "football" between your thumbs with your folded almost as if in prayer and try to fling the "football" thru the "uprights"

The paper football I played was with the paper football laying on a desk and two opponents across from it. You would take turns sliding it and if you could get it to part way off the table without it falling off, this was a touchdown, then you could kick the extra point. I used to put staples in the football and aim for their face during extra points :evil:

ah, yes, the dumb middle school games....pencil fighting, bloody knuckles, and the dumbest of all, Quarters

I never played it but it got real popular at my school. I have no idea why.

What you do is spin a quarter and take turns trying to touch the quarter but the quarter has to keep spinning. If you touch the quarter and cause it to stop spinning, you have to make a fist and put your knuckles laying flat on the table. The other player gets to take the quarter and fling it at your knuckles. A lot of people literally had bloody knuckles.

There was a similar game played with pennies, too, forget how it went exactly.

Ahhh....the memories!

Who here made pen-guns?

**DISCLAIMER** Don't do any of this. You'll put your eye out. **DISCLAIMER**

Take a Bic or other ballpoint pen you can remove the inside from, and turn it around so that the long ink tube sticks out the hole where the tip normally is. Hold elastic band at wide end, stretch over ink tube, pull.

Pierces textbook pages, cardboard boxes, and thin binder covers.

Yeah, that's about the expression that results after you get one sunk halfway into your math notes from across the classroom. :evil:

There was some guy at my school who was insane with it. He could break any pencil in one hit. We even took him on with a hard plastic pen and he ended up shattering the outer case. We eventually had to resort to cheating by making the metal ring around the eraser into a sharp point.

We also played the game with quarters when you had three of them in a triangular pattern, and you "break" it by hitting one of them and spreading them out. You then have to shoot one between two others (any one will do) all the way to the other end of the desk and get it in the goal (opponents outstretched pinkie and index fingers). Kinda lame after a while, but when you're young, everything's fun.

 

[Sid59]

we called it pencil fighting.

 

[macwinlin]

I don't remember if I personally played "pencil break," but I do remember other people playing it. It seems like a waste of pencils to me.

A classmate made one in one of my high school classes during a rare time when the teacher wasn't in the classroom. He shot it, but lost track of where the ink tube went.

It was found embedded to a bulletin board attached to one of the walls.
