Would kids be able to play a full game of manhunt these days?

[DS1]

I used to play with the other local kids for hours, we had an island of sorts with its natural free-zone borders. We'd run through backyards, hide in them, climb up trees and nobody complained about us once. This would go on for hours, with hunting parties tearing through yards to find the last guy.

What with lazy bastards driving their kids one fucking block to the bus stop *because it's dangerous out there* these days, and being all uptight about their lawns, I doubt anything like it could be done.

1. BabyM plays manhunt.

2. Good

It's a great game, and involves moving around.

7. Oh, trust me. When you meet her, you will insist that she has

ants in her pants. That child never sits still. It's amazing.

3. Nope.

I don't see that kind of thing at all anymore. We used to play all sorts of games like that in the neighborhood: Ditch, Kick the Can, Capture the Flag, etc.

All ending just after dark when kids' moms called them inside by yelling for them.

4. We used to play relieveo when we were kids, it couldn't happen here because everybody

has fences. We still play street hockey and dodgeball here so it's better than nothing.

5. Or "fort" or "Red Dawn" for that matter...

Are there even woods to play in anymore?

Poor kids...

6. I wish Whistle Boy would play manhunt instead of blowing his whistle for hours

The kid actually has the ability to stand in his yard and blow on his fucking whistle for hours on end. I hate that kid, and his shitty parents that let him stand in the yard blowing a whistle for hours.

8. Not in Florida. Some triggerhappy moron would end that game right quick.
