Yellow Car, Orange Car

Sorry I haven't been posting for while. I've been real busy shopping, playing Wii, and more shopping.
You probably have seen the Volkswagen ads where people punch each other and say 'Black one' or Red one' as the case may be. Well, we have been playing this game for a lot longer. And so, mom said to write a post on the rules of 'Cars No Tag Back.' 'No Tag Back' is a game my mom and I have been playing for the last six years. It's a game I made up while on a really boring trip on a bus. The rules are to tag cars and the objective is toget the most points. I know that you are probably wondering how to tag a car and we'll get to that sooner or later. We tag ONLY the following cars: yellow cars, orange cars, convertibles, and Volkswagen beetles. The clock rolls over every day which means the points that you got the day before you don't get the day after. One person can tag the same car once. For example you see a yellow car only one person in the car can tag it. You have to say it before the other person and he/she can tag it only once.Once you are more comfortable with the game you could adjust it to your needs. As for example, if you live in a large city you are going to have too many yellow cars (Taxis) so you might decide to skip those.
Of course it's a game you play when there are at least 2 players in the car.
Now how to tag, suppose you saw a yellow car. You would say (or shout) 'Yellow car no tag back!'. That is counted as one point. If you see a yellow convertible Volkswagen beetle or a orange convertible Volkswagen beetle, that would count as three points. But they are also VERY VERY (another VERY just for good measure) rare. Here are some more common combinations of tagable (did I just make that up?) cars: yellow convertibles, orange convertibles, yellow 'beetles', orange 'beetles, convertible beetles.

WATER FIGHT!
Hi.
Today my brother and me had a water fight. It all started as house washing with water blasters. I went to fill my blaster with water when my brother blasted me with water. Then I blasted him, he blasted me, and so on. We had duels, water towers (basically putting the blaster on the ground and shooting it upward, hitting you opponent, in this case your brother.), and blasting people randomly. We came in soaking wet, but it was worth it.
It's 8:00 here, I gotta go and hopefully soon watch Avatar again. It's going to be so cool.

Cool Book I Read
I read a really cool book yesterday. It's called Kibitzers and Fools. It has fun little stories that have a saying. Here's two of my favorites (it has a little yiddish):
A Case of Mistaken Identity
Hershel ran over to a man he saw in the street. "Labish! Labish Noddleman! How are you? I hardley recognized you. You have changed so much." "Pardon me, sir," answered the man. "My name is Yankel, not Labish." "Oy vey (My goodness)! How you have changed," said Hershel. "Even your name has changed."
The saying that goes with the story is: Everyone has his own craziness.
The Restaurant
"Waiter! Come here" called the customer. "So...I'm here" said the waiter. "Taste the soup!" said the customer. "Twenty-five years we have been making chicken soup," answered the waiter. "Nobody has ever complained---" Taste the soup!" interrupted the customer. "Why? What's the matter?" "Taste the soup!" "All right, all right, I'll taste it...Where's the spoon?" "Aha!" cried the customer.
They saying that goes with the story is: It pays to have a little chutzpah (nerve).
Have a nice day. Hope it is not raining where you are because raining spoils fun!
