Herbie Alert
You may know it as Punch Buggy, but when we were growing up, we used to play a game called Herbie Alert. Basically, you see a VW beetle, you yell "Herbie Alert!" and you get one point.
We decided the stakes weren't high enough, so we made our own rules, which were as follows:
VW Bug with a spoiler = 3 points
VW Bug convertible = 2 points
Both reasonable addendums, I would say.
However, it was the 3rd rule which, in retrospect, was a bit over the top
VW Bug painted white (the true color of Herbie the love bug)= 100 points
100 points.
Not 10, not 20, not even 25, but 100 points.
I fail to understand our logic of awarding 100 points for this. We should have just made it White VW bug=you win. No one can catch up to 100 points.
I guess I'm not really going anywhere with this one.
meh.
