    Anybody remember this?



    It wasn't ethnically correct, as I remember it, back in the 50s. Here's the original:

    Yeah man... It's the Fallopian Tube game. The ovaries burst out eggs and you do a die roll to chase them around with the sperm men. The ladders represent some sort of contraceptive devise I think.
    You're right though..You lose a turn if you should dare run a white one into a black one. Like your head would blow up or something and the police would have to be notified.
    It's been a while...could be confused.

    That game was just a little past my time. Here's one from just before then:

    When I was a kid, all we had was lava. The Earth hadn't yet cooled enough for rocks to form.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    We were so poor, we couldn't afford rocks. In fact, we were so poor, the neighbor had to have me. But I do remember playing C&L a lot as a kid..

    When I was a kid we were so poor that if I didn't wake up with an erection I didn't have a thing to play with all day long!
