a George Floyd Challenge?

First we had kids eating Tide Pods and eating cinnamon powder, and now some of the moronic little twits are finding it entertaining to kneel on each other's necks to see who can endure it the longest without dying I guess. It is great to see kids with inquisitive minds but just maybe they need a little more parental involvement and common sense guidance. Such as that all important conversation that needs to occur as a kid reaches his teen years. That chat where mom and dad sit the kid down and explain to the kid that drinking Draino will result in much more than severe heartburn and that if they feel the need to do a full body detox cleanse, eating laundry detergent probably isn't the most desirable way to accomplish that.

ahhhh, Jezzus, Look at the time wouldya? I have a foggy memory of this, but, when I was about 12 or so there was a game going around West Utica where you held your breath until you passed out, and there were rumors that it could kill you, so we did it all the more. The George Floyd challenge is an extension of that, an extension of the fact that my grandfather testified that when he was a tad, out on the farm in Waterville, he clung to the belly of a horse which someone had slapped on the flank, sending it downhill towards the Nine Mile Swamp. The moronic little twits need to be have another of their ilk die or be seriously injured, God forbid, before they cease and desist... or they move onto another game like... Hey! let's all play Q Shaman!!!

I tried that once in my house. It was around 1960 so I must have been around 13.
The dumb things wea ll do when young.

You tried what Chris: Strapping yourself under a horse and hanging on for dear life as the horse sped down the hill towards the Nine Mile Swamp, because that's what the American Indians did, or so my Grandfather thought, though he wouldn't have known an American Indian if he fell over him, or that breathing trick popular with the kids in West Utica in 1960?
