    We had a basketball net on a telephone pole under a streetlight. As teenagers we used to play until midnight. one on one to a hundred. We played in the winter in snowstorms. It didn't matter - we just played day and night. Rode our one speed bikes - no holding the handlebars - everywhere.

    Oh you're fancy...I'm so old, they didn't have balls when I was a kid! We had to use rocks ;-)

    Back in my day the families each had a dinner bell, and we all knew the different sounds to know which friend(s) had to go home for dinner.

    We played handball. It wasn't until I was stationed in Okinawa in 1974 that I saw my first racquetball.

    Back in my day you had to leave the video game on in order to save your spot, and God forbid if you were playing a computer game and your mom picked up the phone!
