Space Cucumbers
Some of you from the Lowell years may remember a game we used to play on the playground. I don't remember all of the specifics, but it was an epic saga in which we played a crew of valiant space-exploring/evil-fighting cucumbers.
Our foes were the monstrous pickles, who had some sort of pickling-rays, which they could use to turn cucumbers to the dark side (well, the slightly-darker-shade-of-green side anyway). We played this game for many weeks, picking the story back up during each recess. I guess maybe this was our D & D?
Anyway, there was an inspiration for this post other than the general awesomeness of this space saga. This shirt was just released on Threadless today:
I suggest you buy one.
Oh, and if any of you think acting out a months-long story arc in which you play space-exploring cucumbers is in any way weird: you are sadly mistaken.

I remember I was a cucumber commando who had been winged by a pickle beam. One of my arms was a pickle, so I could use it like a club.
I also recall sketching out the pickle fortress planet and plotting our infiltration.
i don't recall any of this, only 4-wedge, 4 square and check.
I'm pretty sure I was with Kurt playing 4-square most of the time, but I do remember something about evil cucumbers.
you guys were obviously way cooler than us. we just played lame games like football and four square.
