Bop Part II
Two things that Japanese kids love are:
1) Janken (rock paper scissors, taken to an unbelievably new heights)
2) Head Bopping
Well, they've finally managed to combine the two into a game of fierce gladitorial combat, and it's called "Tata-ite, Kabu-ite."
Basically you rock paper scissors, and the winner takes a swing, while the loser has to cover their head with both hands. It's a quick game, and the object is to 1) win the Janken, and 2) swing fast and hard so that you can whack the other person before they move into blocking position.
It's hilarous to watch, and even more fun to play. You can see where games like "Street Fighter" and "Tekken" got their inspiration from! My 9th grade girls taught me the game today, and boy those bitches opened up a can of whoop-ass. What a slaughter! Wait'll next week, I'll teach them the "slaps" game from America and then we'll see who's bopping who...

Wow, Janken and head bopping! Janken itself has so many variations. For one thing, if there is a tie you have the rapid-fire "ai ko de sho" match to the death. Furthermore, you can add the "achi mite hoi" variation in which the winner upon saying hoi points in one of the four cardinal directions (up down left right) while the loser must try and look in another direction at that moment. Absolute victory is achieved by pointing in the direction looked. And now, head bopping.
