That aside, marbles WAS a cruel game, eh? Get one of those monster cat's eye shooters to take out a handful of your opponent's favorites. Cutthroat, I tells ya! Like racing for pink slips (please refer to the movie "Grease" for reference Vail). LOL!!! PLEASE tell me you have seen it! Grease is the WORD!

Ya see! It doesn't count! You have to play marbles WITH someone, so you can knock their marbles out of the circle and keep them all to yourself! It was a cutthroat game! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!
P.S.: Over 40, is not old enough to fart dust! HA!!.................See Methulasa for that.

Of course I played marbles when I was little. Only problem was that I never knew what to do after hitting the marbles. HA!! Plus, I played by myself, so there was no real competition. Heck, I still remember reading a short story in elementary school about a kid who became her school's marbles champ. Plus my mom used marbles to decorate the humongous aquarium we used to have. Guids, are marbles called "canicas" in Spanish?
Just reading an online article about the most recent earthquake. Crazy! I bet Cali's next...we still haven't got "The Big One" yet.
