Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 05, 2012

I played this game as a child! Great fun.

just hope there’s caution on automobiles

Ahh, spin the barfer.

The joys of living in a cul de sac! There were roundabouts similar to that in the subdivision I lived in at age 8 and 9. I think we played softball in them, though. I was dizzy enough without the Spinning Game….

Living in the suburbs, hundreds of identical houses, give or take the barfing.

There’s an adult variation of this game in which everybody sits in a circle with a bottle of scotch in the middle. Then someone drinks the scotch in one go and has to remember who he is.

I remember doing that. Fortunately, I only got dizzy.

we did that as kids. spin around ourselves dizzy by ourselves or with a merry go round. that or using baseball bats and spin ourselves until dizzy and run.

This was one of my favorite things to do with my friends at recess from about second to fourth grades. Talk about a really, really really fun game with no point. :)

played this in the 40s. we called it dizzy wizzy.

LOL! Doesn’t take much to entertain kids, does it?

Einstein lived in a row of identical town houses at Princeton; could never remember his house number so painted his door red. Don’t know about him spinning or barfing.

LOL. Great drawing (as usual).

The dumb things kids do.

Funny!

Sounds fun!

Reading all these reruns really depresses me. I know Richard has a disease, so don’t think I don’tknow. That IS what depresses me. Is Richard okay? He hasn’t posted on his blog.Is he getting treatment again?Maybe. Is… Is this the end of cul de sac? I hope not…
