Sharkboy and I are walking up Church Street and we pass a woman outside an old office building yanking on a string that went up to a third floor window. I thought was just an old banner rope from Prides Gone By, but apparently it’s a doorbell of sorts! How very archaic!<\/p>\n

I said, “I now know where to play ‘Nicky Nicky Nine Doors’ on Church Street.”<\/p>\n

“What’s that?” asks Sharkboy.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure you have a variation on this kid’s game, whatever you called it in Quebec: ring the bell, run off peeing your pants laughing.”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, we called it ‘Ring the Bell and Run Off Peeing Our Pants Laughing.” He then went on to explain that he had a reverse game while living in Montreal. From the saftey of his apartment, he could use the two way intercom to comment on people’s attire and sexuality as they walked by. And it was all the more funnier when you messed with the masculine\/femine articles. Oh those distinct society Quebecois!<\/p>\n

I’m sure you all, my 5 or 6 readers, use to call this bell-ringing game something else?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
