Toe Crusher

There are many, many wonderful things about childhood.

The joy, the innocence, the wonder.

Childhood is just awesome!

One of the greatest things about being a child is the ability to take a game that you don't know how to play or that is meant for older adults and making it your own.

I give you, Toe Crusher aka Shuffle Board.



Considered your toes warned.

I remember this toe crushing game when I was that age, lol. I probably won't play it again until someone sticks me in 'a home'., lol

Love the collage!

Love the collage, but I can't recall the game at all. Hmmmmm, I must have lived under a rock at some point in time.

My Wordful Wednesday is about a 'broken heart' with a photo of it too...come join me? Happy Day wish to you and yours.

Oh yes...Toe Crusher. Fun for the very young and the very old. Everyone else -- not so much.

You're going to have to get some steel-toed boots, I think!

It's not fun unless there's the risk for serious injury, right? ;)

JennyMac said...

Very cool montage of photos...I have never played it but considered myself fully warned. :)

CaraBee said...

My parents have a shuffleboard court in their backyard. The people they bought the house from were fanatics, I guess. I'd rather chill out by the pool personally.

Alicia said...

i shall watch my toes accordingly!! but on the bright side, look how happy they look!

If I Could Escape . . . said...

I'd best not show my boys that game! LOL

Happy WW!
