Heads up Seven up

Its Thursday so you know its time to turn back the clock to our childhood and today its the game Heads up Seven up. Playing this game was the highlight of elementary school. I remember I would get so excited to play this game that I would take out my huge rectangular rubber eraser and throw it at the closest nerd.

Here's how you play. The teacher would pick her 7 favorite students. I was always one of them because I was a third grader that was hung like Wilt Chamberlain. Then everyone still at a desk had to put their head down, close their eyes, and raise a thumb. Then the seven people would walk around class and push one persons thumb down. Then the people who's thumbs got touched had to try and guess who did it.

The cheat. Everyone knew it and everyone used it. While having your head down on the desk you would keep you eyes open and stare at the people shoes. This move was butter, unless you went to a private school where everyone had the same shoes. If you weren't cheatin you weren't tryin.

Plan A) Whenever I was one of the seven people walking around, I always picked the hottest girl in class. Usually some honeydip rocking a neon orange scrunchie. Then I would touch her thumb for about 3 seconds too long. Just enough to let her know I was available and ready to party.

Plan B) If their were no hot girls in your class or if you just liked being "it" then you would go and put the thumb down of the kid you talked to least in the class. For me it would of been the kid who's every T-shirt was a comic book superhero. The only time I ever spoke to him was asking for cuts in the lunchline or if he had an extra pencil in his gay Spacemaker pencil box.

If this game was still acceptable to play at 25, I would have Heads up Seven up Tourneys at my apartment every week.
