We used to play "PIG" to see who had the best Moves and Shot...it was later changed to"HORSE" to give those without Moves and a Shot a better chance...The Driveway Game is now called "ELEPHANT", from what I understand. Hippopautomous is not too far off...
Just to make it more FAIR...

They could make it Supercalifragalistic etc. and I still wouldn't win.
Changing the name to Horse isn't right. It's the same as calling a hooded sweatshirt a "hoodie" what sissy came up with that? Gym shoes, tennies, same thing. Tell these younger kids to get their own clothes. Grumpy Old Man in The South
I don't see how making the name longer gives "those without Moves and a Shot a better chance". Wouldn't a bad player have a better shot at winning if the game was just one letter (say "P" for example)? Do you think you have a better shot of beating Kobe in one-on-one in a game to 1 or 100? Obviously it would be in a game to 1 where your best hope would be to get the ball first, chuck up a shot and hope it goes in. The longer the game, the more likely it is that the better player will win. Am I right people???
Anonymous must be under 40. Kobe is a steak not a basketball player. The Big O or Wilt are b-ball players. Kids.....
You have absolutely nailed it Slim! Anono-mouse has no clue about PIG! I once lost 24 LARGE to a neighborhood kid that was a friend of my Sons' the kid was about 10! I prolonged the GAME with double or nothing Bets! When the A..Hole Kid hit one and I didn't ...the KID quit! To this day he thinks I owe him $24,000!!!
For $24.00 I whack the kid Pea!

Anonymous has no clue. If it's one letter and Kobe wins the "flip" you're cooked. With 5 letters, when he misses his second shot, I can call "Off the board, Off the rim (2 times) and then in the net". After preparing for 12 mins, Kobe is now bored and totally lost his focus and will to win. WHO'S NEXT!!!!
people that don't know PIG should not be commenting on this Vital Topic...PIG, HORSE, ELEPHANT, HIPPO....., SUPERCALAFRAGALISTIC, whatever...
As Zyminski says...it's all about the Angles/Angels and Leverage !
ps...Knuckles...call me ... I need to have another PIG game with that kid!
You old guys are nothing but old guys... All I hear about is how great Wilt was. He was the tallest guy in the NBA by about 6 inches. Of corse he dominated. He would get ran out of the gym in today's game. Small forwards are 7 feet.
I couldn't help but notice that none of these comments are an answer to the blog topic... in that sense, I think Charles Barkley would have been an unstoppable tight end in the NFL. Discuss...
The Malone boys would've been devastating too, Karl & Moses. Chocolate Thunder was no slouch either. Jason Williams was a team mate of Randy Moss right? His brother Jason Williams 2 of the shotgunned chauffeur fame woould have been a good NFL linebacker; he has prior thug experience too. Can't see that redheaded UCLA dude from the 70's being too effecive, he cied everytime somebody touched him, same with Lew Alcindor Jabbar.
I have never seen a more jacked Spiderman in my life. That guy is pumped!
That's me in the Spiderman outfit. Get Yo Websligers Ready!
That Spidey was on CNN today testifying after Roger Clemens was done lying.
Careful, Arlen Specter will launch a congressional investigation into the Justice League!
im taking shaq over wilt any day. if shaq played back then he would have scored at least 175 in that game wilt scored 100. and im saying that knowing that he cant make foul shots.
the best athletes in the world are defensive ends in the nfl. these guys are 300 pounds and run just as fast as anyone on the field. they are also always taller than 6' 5'' it seems like.
Excuse me, Weirdos... Tayshawn Prince could not play in the "whiskey bowl" at Feltonville. Frank and Sylvan would devour him!!! End of discussion.
Frank & Silvan never laid eyes on a black athlete in 1960! Tayshawn would would have put the Fear in them and they would have called Walter Trenkle or Ma Prudente'...
