And they have to yell the color too, like "Punch-Buggie Green!"

I'm one of those people that if there was only 1 classic punchbug left in the whole world and we happened upon it and you called it and punched me, I would still charlie-horse you. I DO NOT PLAY PUNCHBUG GAME! Dude, I HATE the punchbug game.

Maybe thats why you hate Punchbug, because you had some sort of big brother that whaled on you mercilessly growing up. Hmm. In that case, Bullet, there’d be a fight in the back seat.

But, if I had some big dumb brother that did that I probably would have just told mom and she would have reached across the van and slapped him (because she hates that game too). *tongue now sticking out* Maybe, maybe.

First of all, rule number one is you can't make up your own rules, even if your punkass kid agrees with you. Of course new beetles count, or else you'd get a hit once a year, tops. According to my book of rules, you have to wipe off the hit and say "no tag backs". Duh. Or else you're wide open to get puched back. I'll probably punch you back anyways.

Why would tag backs apply to punchbugging? No. And new beetles count if you're a loser. So, Jen, I guess you're a loser. Sorry. Tag backs are dumb. Why would tag backs apply to punchbugging? No.

That probably makes me a loser since I've actually seen the movie.

Also, new Beetles count, or we'd never get to play. OK…I have an addendum to the rules:

Bug or no bug. BTW...as the previously proud owner of a '74 beetle...no bug with the moter up front is a real bug. Anyone that punches on a new beetle should be put out of the vehicle and run over by the next passing drunk. Personally, I think the Bullet could kick the living shyte outta you AT. Bug or no bug.

It really got 'off the hook when' we decided that PT Cruisers were also fair game. We all developed permanent bruises when any retro car became permissable (like remodeled Thunderbirds and Chevy SSRs). Then Mom declared an armistice.
