Thank U Barbie For Showing Bi/lesbian Solidarity

As far as society is concerned, you are a chimpanzee.

I live across the ocean from USA but I also played this game when I was a kid

Translated from my native language, the words are something like this: "dragons flew, ate doughnuts. How many doughnuts did the dragons eat?". Then the person that got hit last after the words were said choses a random number and people count to that number

There's also another version with a cow. It goes like this: "a cow flew, said a word. What word did the cow say?". The last person chooses a word then everybody spells it

One of my favorite things is learning what words people used for this hand game—where you sit in a circle with your hands facing up, right hand on top of your neighbor's, left hand below your other neighbor's, and you sequentially go around slapping right hand into left— where they lived when they were kids. The regional variations are the best. It's in Wikipedia as "Stella Ella Ola," but for me (and many NE USAmericans) it's "Quack Diddly Oso."

The way these games are taught to younger kids by older kids and spread throughout regions is so fascinating; I want a visualization where you can see what happens when one random kid 50 years ago moved to a different state. I have no idea how widespread this game is, but I think it's all across the US and Canada, at a minimum. I haven't seen my kids play this—is it still a thing?

In my school in the 90s, it went like this—

Quack diddly oso, 
Quack, quack, quack, 
Señorita, 
Rita, rita, rita, 
Velour, velour, 
Velour, velour, velour, velour, 
1, 2, 3, 4!

I especially appreciate the versions that include “your mother smells like pizza,” “the toilet over fulled,” and “the cat peed on the floor,” “potatoes on the floor-a”

What about you? Anyone play it outside of North America?

The Greeks kept ferrets instead of cats in classical antiquity, and I've seen at least two Greek depictions of a cat in art where the artist has clearly never seen a cat before and thinks of them as some kind of weird foreign ferret

I love the colors and the motion/fiery effect!

the shading is yummy too
