Howdy.

I learned something last night.

We had our pastor and his family meet us for supper at Pizza Hut. Their oldest son and ours are buds. This was to celebrate the boy's birthday.

Anyway, after supper, we went back to our house so the kids could play.

They gave the boy a present . . . a "Gnip Gnop".

Much to my surprise, our pastor and his wife had never heard of a "Gnip Gnop" before. I couldn't believe this. I thought everyone over 30 knew what a "Gnip Gnop" was.

The thing I learned though, our pastor's wife looked at the box and said "Oh, look at that, "Gnip Gnop" is "Ping Pong" spelled backwards."

I had never noticed that before! Am I the only unobservant one in this country that didn't know or notice that?

I guess more people don't know this game than I realized.

Here's a pic:

You slam the yellow levers and try to get all of the balls on one side of the game. If you do that, you win.

I love Gnip Gnop! I had one when I was a kid. But yeah, I realized when I got it it was ping pong spelled backwards. Maybe it said that on it somewhere...

Yay!

Mz knows what I'm talking about!

I thought Gnip Gnop was a household staple in the 70's.

I recognized the game in the picture, but did not recognize the name.
