Thumbs down The Choking Game

I know about this type of game, because we use to play it back in the mid sixties,
when I was in the 8th grade.

We use to have one person give a bear hug while the other person was holding
their breath; but still.

It was dumb.......and dangerous.

When I was a kid, we would squat down, take ten deep, fast breaths, then stand up fast and blow on our thumb hard while someone bear hugged you from behind. I remember getting all white eyed and passing out (cause the blood rushes down out of your head). It was a very strange feeling and I can remember laying there on the ground unable to move, but able to hear the other kids talking and laughing. Man, were we cool or what! Don't try this at home.

Gotta thin the herd some how...
We did it in the mid-seventies. Bend over with your own hands around your neck (jugular pinch) so-on and so-on etc.
Cheap thrills in wood shop. We all survived and nevr did it again. and no one became addicted.

We did something similar, except we sat against a wall (invisible chair type thing...I guess you all will know what I mean), took 10 deep breaths while doing the jugular pinch thing, then tried to stand up. When we tried to stand up, your legs would give out and you'd fall...Good times, good time...

I did something less stupid.

Get someone to grasp your 4 fingers firmly and hold that for 3 minutes.

after 3 minutes have the person very slightly let your fingers free.

keeping their hand in that grasping position Now have them briskly stroke on the inside of that same arm from the elbow to the wrist for a couple of minutes.

after 2 minutes of that ask them to try and open their hand.
