I remember playing “skullzie” on 69th street between 16th and New Utrecht Avenues in the late ‘70s Brooklyn. Endless hours of smoothing the cap bottom so it would slide, coming up with cooler melted crayon designs, and bloody knuckles from flicking the caps. I moved to suburban Jersey in ‘78 and tried to teach my friends there how to play. Might as well have been teaching them curling. I miss that game.
