I miss "SNAGS"...

I'm in finals, so I shouldn't be thinking about this stuff, but the randomness makes it more wonderful. I been thinking about this all day, and while I have 5 minutes in between studying, I'd love to share.

1. How great was "Off the Wall"?...Not Michael Jackson's Off The Wall (better than Thriller? you decide). NO, I'm talking about the game Off The Wall, which I've been trying to explain to my white, New England friends all day. Here are the rules:
Get a raquetball or tennis ball
Find a wall
Throw the ball...(wait for it)...off the wall
a group of people en masse try to catch it without it bouncing. Weaker rules allow for one bounce. Then it's your turn to throw it off the wall. In any direction. With any force.
And we play SNAGS

There are no SNAGS in handball. Handball is poor man's raquetball. And this Wallball they keep talking about...I went to YouTube to watch a video of said WALLBALL...people are too far away and they wait for like 3 bounces. and it's a kickball...and no snags. No Snags?

a game isn't a game without snagging the ball from someone's reach. It's unfair, and it teaches you to go for yours...SNAGS. Listen to Common's Resurrection and he'll refer to "snaggin' nuff n**gas in games of Off the Wall"

Finish the line and you're my best friend forever...I miss snags. I couldn't find a pic or vid of someone playing Chicago's greatest game (Piggy runs a close 2nd), so I figured I'd endulge you with something equally bout-it. Michael Jackson's baby hair. Covering a full 3x8 area of his head...


I'm snagging somebody as soon as the weather breaks...
