My fave new version (thanks, wikipedia!) is Duck, Duck, Splash - in which the "goose" gets a bucket of water dumped on him/her. Awesome!
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Fortunately, the loonacy stops at the Minnesota-Wisconsin state border.
For those not accustomed to Minnesota-Wisconsin feuding, Sail's comment will make more sense if you remember that the Minnesota state bird is the Loon.

Our wings are not tired.
We had no duck, duck, goose, or dog/hog piles in my youth (long, long ago) in upstate New York.

All of this pales in the face of the great question:
Is it kitty-corner or katty-corner?

duck, duck, goose
(Kindergarten in south Jersey - most of elementary school in Balt.)
I can't recall the use of either dogpile or hogpile when I was a child.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
And then they pluck and eat some poor kid who can't run fast.
I'm flashing on the Treehouse of Horror episode where Principal Skinner and the lunchlady turn the kids into food. "You could say there's a little Utter in all of us!"
Is it kitty-corner or katty-corner?
Catty-corner.
And Pussy Galore.

upstate New York
This may explain things. One of the pre-60s guys grew up in NYC and another grew up in Oakland, CA. Maybe it was a regional game at that time?
Kitty-corner, of course cause it's SUGAR!!

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Hugh Jackman at the beach, sure brightened my day, sumi. Thanks!
KristinT...I am so jealous!!!!!! Hope you and ND have an amazing time. I miss you both!
ND, I think you could get away with a pirate-walk-the-plank plan. Heck, I'll come and help you.
The weather here is awful! We are under a tornado watch or warning and a severe thunder storm watch or warning. Temp is supposed to drop by more than 20 degrees overnight. DH is on midnight shift and it's looking to be a bad night for him (a couple power plants on the other side of the state went off line).
Yea...happy birthday to me.
