Growing up, I always sang qua qua a little differently- I’ll put it in Hebrew for my hebrew speaking friends since that’s the most accurate version, but I’ll transliterate it too

אה קווה קווה דה לה אומה קווה קווה קווה קווה קווה קווה דסי מטריקו אבא שך' קופיקו אמאשך היפופוטם ואתה חמור קטן ולו וכן צולע הוא מסכן זקן 12345678910

[the ‘ch’ makes the throaty noise like in ‘chutzpah’ or ‘chag sameach’, not like in ‘choice’ or ‘ache’. There is no English equivalent that I know of]

One of my favorite things is learning what words people used for this hand game—where you sit in a circle with your hands facing up, right hand on top of your neighbor's, left hand below your other neighbor's, and you sequentially go around slapping right hand into left— where they lived when they were kids. The regional variations are the best. It's in Wikipedia as "Stella Ella Ola," but for me (and many NE USAmericans) it's "Quack Diddly Oso."

The way these games are taught to younger kids by older kids and spread throughout regions is so fascinating; I want a visualization where you can see what happens when one random kid 50 years ago moved to a different state. I have no idea how widespread this game is, but I think it's all across the US and Canada, at a minimum. I haven't seen my kids play this—is it still a thing?

In my school in the 90s, it went like this—

Quack diddly oso, 
Quack, quack, quack, 
Señorita, 
Rita, rita, rita, 
Velour, velour, 
Velour, velour, velour, velour, 
1, 2, 3, 4!

I especially appreciate the versions that include “your mother smells like pizza,” “the toilet over fulled,” and “the cat peed on the floor,” “potatoes on the floor-a”

What about you? Anyone play it outside of North America?

Pass me the SUMMAtriptan.

The saints' RPG adventure continues every Monday and Friday through December!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. Continuing from the last few cartoons, an angel is running a fantasy RPG for some saints in heaven, namely Sts. Thomas Aquinas, Joan of Arc, Francis of Assisi, and Nicholas of Myra. They haven't quite gotten past the character creation/introduction stage yet, but I'm sure they'll find their way eventually! 2. The angel asks Thomas to introduce his character concisely. Some TTRPG players tend to overthink and overstress about their characters before the story has begun, leading to massive backstories and extended physical descriptions. 3. Thomas introduces his character in a very quick and simple way, just as the angel requested. However, just as the angel thanks him for not taking forever, Joan asks a question that causes Thomas to go on a long philosophical monologue, much to the angel's dismay. 4. Thomas's monologue is styled after his summa articles. He was a prolific theologian and philosopher, and some of his most famous works are his summa articles, in which he'd present a philosophical position, then several strong arguments for and against said position, ending in an ultra-strong and super-reasoned conclusion. Unfortunately, he never actually wrote about fantasy RPGs, so we won't know his real opinion on them in this life. That said, I did my best to capture the format and flavor of his articles. 5. Magic in fantasy has been a point of debate for Christians for some time. Should it be allowed? Is it of the devil? Is it a slippery slope? Is it a gateway to death metal, drugs, and Catholicism? My basic opinion is that fictional magic is simply a storytelling device. What you DO with that device is another question, but the device itself isn't evil. I've heard opinions going both ways, but what do YOU think?

Don't you both think your pairing, is a bit dull and weak? It feels like it's lacking something... a manager.

Có những chuyện không thành, là do ông trời đang bảo vệ cậu.

Ông trời đã để họ rời đi khỏi cuộc sống của cậu.

Là bởi vì...

ngài đã nghe thấy những cuộc trò chuyện mà cậu không nghe thấy, biết một số chuyện mà cậu không biết....
