noog⋅ie /Pronunciation [noog-ee]
–noun Slang. a light blow or jab, usually to a person’s head, back, or upper arm and accompanied by a twisting motion, with the extended knuckle of the curled-up second or third finger: done as a gesture of affection or painfully as a prank.
HEY CALVIN! We used to play it with BB guns! But then again that was back in the days of the lawn darts and other fun instruments of destruction. I’m soooo glad I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s…
My cat used to know what noogies were. We played a game called “noogies for kitties” in which I’d try to give him noogies, and he’d try to shred my arms. We both had lots of fun playing that. He used to come and rub his head against my hand when he wanted to play. I don’t think he had dain bramage.
My husband still loves to give “noogies” and “wet willies”! I finally got him a couple weeks ago with a “super wet willie” so he’s given up for awhile!
Heehee to all comments and especially the noogies, wet willies, and dutch brushes/rubs. I grew up in the 30s and 40s and we played all those games, pranks, and dangerous stuffs according to today’s standards and “most” of us grew into healthy and good adults with both eyes and ears and no serious damage.. And even into grandparents now like me.

Any game that isn’t played by Calvin’s rules is a sissy game.
GROG Premium Member about 15 years ago
What I don’t get is that Hobbes is the one to set the rules…and set them to his own advantage.

No, that’s just a bush, although it is a very dark bush.

Ratlum,
No, there is a bush behind Hobbes though.

A BUSH? Does that make this a political cartoon?
rstan66 about 15 years ago

Steve, for encouraging this to become a political discussion you should be put in Cheneys attached to leg irons.

rhutch436, I was introduced to dirt clod war in the late 50’s. Red clay hurts! Even worse when you get hit in the eye. Ah yes, those were the days.
