Hopscotch. Now, people immediately think this is a sissy game played by 2nd grade girls in the elementary schoolyards. Well.......actually, they'd be right. It is a game played by 2nd grade girls in the elementary schoolyards. This 'sissy' factor I have to contest, however. The roots of the game date back to the Roman empire, where children would create a grid on the ground and add a scoring system while imitating the actions of soldiers training to get used to the full armor and field packs.
In modern times, only one man has had the balls to revolutionize this game: Steve from Blues Clues. That's right! Don't believe that crap that floated around; he went to college! While he was there, he joined the hopscotch team. This would change history forever. When word got out that a man had joined the team, men everywhere felt inspired to do the same! In fact, many variations to the game were made once the craze hit spots like Boston. In Irish pubs, hopscotch is a popular drinking game where each mess up would cause that person to drink a pint. Course, games would typically only last about 5 minutes before things got out of hand and people just started beating the hell out of each other.
What I'm really trying to say is this: Steve from Blue's Clues kicks ass!
