7 PASTIMES/SPORT/HOPSCOTCH

Hopscotch is a cryptic real-life board game played by small girls in playgrounds. The game is played on a chalk crucifix of random numbers and consists of throwing a brick into a square then dancing around the brick until they get it wrong. Boys are forbidden from ever playing hop-scotch. The only recorded occasion that this rule was broken when Gary McFadden, a promising 12 year old schoolboy from Scotland, accidentally skipped from the number 6 to the number 4 without first passing the brick or uttering the dolly-dolly passage of rights, thus creating the mystic and feared 'hop-scotch death-drop' and caused half of Aberdeen to be sucked into a pit of black demons. At the time of writing the actual purpose of hop-scotch is unknown.
