I call it "Berry-Blocker".<br /><br />How you play is you just walk down a city street. Preferably in the tech or biz section of town. As you walk down the street, look for people who have their focus buried in a Blackberry. Thumbs nervously tapping the tiny keyboard. Flicking the centre nub or thumbing the wheel trying to read the latest emails. Brow furrowed as they concentrate all of their vision on a small, tiny screen.<br /><br />Now walk toward them normally; don't run. Just walk. They'll walk directly towards you, not paying any sort of proper attention. When they're in range, just stand still. Don't do anything.<br /><br />If you time it right, they'll walk directly into you. BANG! (You must be at least three paces away from the person. Any closer and it's a fault)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"What did you just do?"</span>, you will ask.<br />Apologies will be offered.<br /><br />Score 10 points. Plus 3 more if they get agitated and angry that you let them walk directly into you.<br /><br />First player to 50 points wins a free <span style="font-style: italic;">Grande Mocha Frappé Papier Mache Latté</span> from the other player(s).<br /><br />Now go play in traffic!Mike Classichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10638704331766363813noreply@blogger.com
