I'm GUILTY of Child Endangerment!

I work very near a school, and have driven past the playground a few times when recess was in session.. have yet to notice a single kid slug another kid. :/

Seems around here it's a dead tradition.

my fantasy is to drive my VW beetle past a large group of advanced karate students who are practicing outdoors. see all hell break loose when they go into 'slug bug' mode.

What the hell is this "slug bug" thing?? Please explain...... I don't think we have that in Europe.

When you see a VW Beetle, you punch the person next to you in the arm, and yell Slug Bug. There is a controversy about the game, because some people think the New Beetles should be included, but the old purists say no. Bill Berckman

On the East Coast we call it Punch Buggy instead of Slug Bug ......

any of the old far-- er, "experienced" people that visit the group know at all where the tradition's roots come from?

it's something that everyone over a certain age seems to know about.. but where did it come from? :)

When I went to school, 1st through 9th grade, kids would beat the s*it out of each other even without any bugs in sight.

in the arm, and yell

some people think the

no.

Of course there's a point system too! We've kept kids busy on long trips, for hours competing for top score.

Silver=10 pts Gold = 25 pts Convertables = 5 pts?

Anyway, really helps occupy the kids and SO on those long trips.

I worked Summer Camp over the summer. And my Summer Day Campers were WELL aware of Slug Bug or Punch Buggy as we knew it.

I even was known to condone such activities on my van, as long as it didn't get too rough. Also tended to take routes were I knew we'd see parked bugs...

Hehehe I could usually take care of myself.. usually.. :D

Recess, I bet

Please forgive Joern and his somewhat unique vocabulary, he's a poor furriner :D

That reminds me. There's an intersection close to my sister's house and every time I go there I see beetles. EVERY time I sit at that intersection, at LEAST one beetle will drive by. Always on the same road. Last time I saw 3. Not new beetles either. I'm convinced there's a secret beetle society out there somewhere.

Hehe.. or as my grandmother used to say "Slap wagen!"

Kidd "Back in black. It's a fact."

I'd never heard of it until I came to this group :-)

Hey, has anyone seen that episode of the Simpsons where they start to play Slug Bug? The school bus then drives past "Volkswagen World" where there's millions of Bugs, and all hell brakes loose!
