This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When I was in school it was shirts vs skins. Two separate schools in two separate states. I’m 39.

At Christian academy we played horse though.

Okay, what the hell is horse?

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

You shoot, you miss, you get nothing. You shoot, you score, you get an H, followed by an O, then R, S, and E. Whoever gets to HORSE first wins.

That is the opposite of how HORSE is played.

This is so different from what I understand horse to be it's crazy. To play horse you would shoot a ball from a certain spot and if you made it, the other person would have to shoot from the same spot or they get a letter. If you miss the other player gets to pick a spot. And so on until someone gets HORSE and loses. Also played with skateboard tricks and called SKATE.
