POOR BOYS CRICKET
FIND SIX EMPTY TIN CANS, AND STACK THREE CANS PYRAMID FASHION
APPROXIMATELY THIRTY FEET APART FROM THE OTHER THREE CAN PYRAMID.
TWO PERSONS, EACH HAVING BASEBALL BATS, STAND OPPOSITE EACH OTHER
JUST IN FRONT OF THE THREE PYRAMID CANS. THEY ARE ON THE SAME TEAM
AND ARE KNOWN AS THE BATTERS. TWO MORE PERSONS, KNOWN AS THE FIELDERS
EACH STAND BEHIND THE RESPECTIVE BATTERS AND PYRAMID CANS.
ONE OF THE FIELDERS THROWS A BASEBALL TOWARDS THE BATTER STANDING
IN FRONT OF THE CANS OPPOSITE HIM AIMING AT THE STOCKED CANS BEHIND
HIM. IF THE BATTER TOWARDS WHOM THE BALL IS THROWN HITS IT, AND IT
IS NOT CAUGHT BY A FIELDER, THEN THE BATTERS HAVE A HIT. THEY
CIRCLE THE CANS TO SEE HOW MANY RUNS (OR TRIPS AROUND) THEY BOTH CAN
MAKE BEFORE ONE OF THE FIELDERS CAN RETRIEVE THE BALL. IF THE
BATTERS DO NOT RETURN TO THEIR POSITIONS IN FRONT OF THE CANS.
AND ONE OF THE FIELDERS RETRIEVES THE BALL AND PROCEEDS TO KNOCK
DOWN THE THREE CANS AT EITHER END THE BATTERS ARE COUNTED OUT.
THE BATTERS NOW HAVING BEEN COUNTED OUT TAKE THE PLACES OF THE
FIELDERS BEHIND THE RESPECTIVE PYRAMID CANS. THE BATTERS ARE ALSO
OUT IF THE BALL IS PITCHED TO ONE BATTER AND HE SWINGS AND MISSES,
AND THE BALL KNOCKS DOWN THE CANS.
EACH RESPECTIVE TEAM KEEPS TRACK OF THEIR RUNS, AND AFTER A
SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME THE TEAM WITH THE MOST RUNS ARE THE WINNERS.
THERE MAY BE MORE THAN FOUR PLAYERS. THE OTHERS ARE OUT IN THE
FIELD AND TAKE THEIR TURNS IN ROTATION AT BEING BATTERS. THOSE
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE RESPECTIVE BATTERS ARE TERMED AS PITCHER AND
CATCHER, AND ARE THE NEXT ONES TO TAKE THEIR TURNS AT BAT ONCE THE
BATTERS ARE OUT. IF ONE OF THE FIELDERS CATCHES THE BALL THEN TOO,
THE BATTERS ARE OUT AND THOSE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE RESPECTIVE
BATTERS ARE THE NEXT BATTERS, AND THE NEXT FIELDERS TAKE THEIR PLACES
AS PITCHER AND CATCHER.

GESTURES
WHEN CHEATING AT CARDS THERE ARE CERTAIN HAND GESTURES THAT
SYMBOLIZE EACH OF THE FOUR SUITS. TO INDICATE HEARTS, ONE MAKES A
FIST AND PLACES IT OVER HIS HEART. TO SHOW DIAMONDS,
ONE POINTS TO HIS RING FINGER, TO INDICATE CLUBS,
ONE LAYS THREE FINGERS ON THE EDGE OF THE TABLE,
TO SHOW SPADES ONE MERELY POINTS TO THE GROUND. OF COURSE ALL
OF THESE GESTURES MUST BE MADE SUBTLY,
SO YOUR OPPONENT DOES NOT CATCH ON.

Submitter comment:
IN THIS DRINKING GAME EACH PERSON CHOOSES A NAME
FOR EXAMPLE, HORSESHIT, COWSHIT, ETC. THE NAME MUST
BE THAT OF AN ANIMAL FOLLOWED BY THE WORD SHIT.
THE GAME FOLLOWS THAT WHENEVER YOUR NAME IS CALLED
YOU MUST REPLY WITH "BULLSHIT"
THE OTHER PERSON THAN ASKS, "WHO SHIT?" AND THE PERSON IS EXPECTED
TO SAY ONE OF THE OTHER PERSONS' ANIMAL NAMES.
WHENEVER SOMEONE MAKES A MISTAKE THEY MUST CHUG THEIR BEER,
OR WHATEVER THEY ARE DRINKING AND THEN BEGIN THE
GAME AGAIN

"GATRIK"
THE GAME INVOLVES TWO STICKS, ONE 12 TO 16 INCHES
LONG, THE OTHER ABOUT SIX. THE SMALLER STICK WAS PLACED
FLAT ON THE GROUND. WITH THE LONGER STICK IT WOULD
BE FLIPPED UP IN THE AIR. THE IDEA WAS TO KEEP HITTING
THE SMALLER STICK WITH THE LONGER ONE, FOR AS LONG AS
YOU COULD. THE FINAL SCORE WAS TABULATED BY COUNTING
THE NUMBER OF HITS AND THE DISTANCE YOU HAD GONE WITH THE
SMALLER STICK. THE LARGER STICK WAS THEN USED AS A
MEASURE.

MANY INDONESIAN GAMES WERE HIGHLY CREATIVE, SIMPLE IN FORM,
AND ECONOMICAL. THIS OCCURS IN THAT THE NATIVES JUST DIDN'T
HAVE THE MONEY FOR A MORE ELABORATE MEANS.

"GUNDU" (MARBLE PLAY)
EACH PLAYER WOULD HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE TWO MARBLES AT EACH OF
THE POINTS DIVIDED IN A SQUARE, CIRCLE, OR TRIANGLE. TO
START THE GAME THEY HAD TO TOSS ANOTHER MARBLE AS CLOSE TO
THE PLAYING SURFACE WITHOUT HITTING THE OTHER MARBLES IN IT.
THE CLOSEST MARBLE HAD THE FIRST CHANCE AT HITTING THE OTHER
MARBLES. THE PLAYER CONTINUED UNTIL HE MISSED, OR HIT ALL
THE MARBLES. WHEN HE MISSED, IT WAS THE SECOND CLOSEST TURN.
WHEN ALL THE MARBLES WERE HIT OUT OF THE PLAYING SURFACE,
THE PLAYER WITH THE MOST MARBLES HIT, WON THE GAME AND ALL
THE MARBLES.

"BULU BULU" (FEATHERS)
DURING WORLD WAR TWO, JAPANESE AND AMERICAN PLANES WOULD
FLY OVER AND DROP PAMPHLETS OF NEWS, INFORMATION, AND
PROPAGANDA. SEEING THIS, THE CHILDREN WOULD TAKE SEVERAL
STRIPS OF PAPER AND WRITE MESSAGES ON THEM. ONE MIGHT
SAY SOMETHING DUMB, BUT ANOTHER MIGHT GIVE YOU A PRIZE.
THESE MESSAGES WERE WRAPPED AROUND A ROCK OR A STONE
AND THROWN IN THE AIR. THE PAPERS WOULD SHOOT OFF
INTO THE AIR AND THE CHILDREN WOULD RUN AND TRY TO
CATCH AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.
