There's a 'frozen fishtown' pun hovering just out of my reach

Dept. of inexplicable pleasures:



I enjoy that someone is actually still driving a Vdub bus in 2012. (EDIT: yes I do know what year it is, psshhh.) That's commitment! Also I had a fit of nostalgia over the Punch Buggy game (no punchbacks) where if you saw a Beetle you could punch your friend without fear of reprisal. This phenomenon is apparently important enough to warrant a wikipedia article, who knew.

Additionally: I've Got Your Nose , which is contextually hilarious, and (sorry about the racism, we were idiot teenagers) Chink, which now I want to play a whole lot. Yes, I've fallen into a wikipedia black hole, what of it.

We played something like that in San Francisco, though we just called it handball. It was the same thing they're saying where the ball must bounce once (and only once), and some of the terminology was the same as what they have listed in the Wallball article. But we always played it with a big rubber playground ball (the kind used for foursquare). Using a tiny little raquetball sounds hard!

The four square ball sounds like it'd be more fun. The racquet ball wasn't that hard to work with in a casual game, but playing against someone who could angle it so it came back low and hard meant I'd wind up punching the ground a lot. ~MEMORIES~~.
