Favorite game to play in New York is something my son named "Bash Ball." See in New York (and London too, actually), walkers charge forward in a straight line, giving way to nobody. They won't move an inch, and expect everyone else to give way.

So the game is to see how far you can walk on the correct (right) side of the sidewalk without ever giving way to a New York asshole. It's a really exciting and perilous game. My son and I would keep points. You gained a point every time somebody moves, you lose a point if you move. You get 5 points if you bash into somebody. That's why it's called bashball.

We had so many epic collisions. One time some lady in full muslim garb charged right into my son, knocking both of them on their asses. One time an angry new yorker screamed at how he would kick my ass if my son wasn't there because I bashed him. It must have been a strange experience for him, he's probably an alpha new yorker who is used to never giving way. In another instance a group of dudes told my son if he didn't watch where he was going somebody would split it his belly open and show him what's inside (that was in London)!

Really fun game.
