    I don't think there were any variants on Buckaroo. There was one game where you had to fish rubbish out of a shark's mouth though.
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    There were some variants of Buckaroo. I'm sure there was a camel one and maybe some others.
    The Shark game was called Jaws wasn't it and you had to fish out plastic tyres and fish skeltons etc without the shark closing its mouth.

    There was never a 'camel edition' of Buckaroo. What would they have called it, Humparoo?

    Fancy!

    That's far ruder than Humparoo.

    Tesco's in Sheerness were selling Buckaroo for 1.24 a couple of weeks ago. Quite cheap I thought.

    One Christmas, I got Buckaroo and Hungry Hippos - the latter was my favourite, but, christ, it was noisy!

    Buckaroo and Kerplunk were the two mainstays of my childhood. It's funny how the board games are coming full circle and the old MB games are becoming popular once more.

    Twister has proved quite popular at some of the birthday parties I've had. It's also proved extremely painfull!

    We found Christmas Buckaroo in WH Smiths today. Instead of the usual donkey there was a rather wonderul red nose reindeer to load up with chrsitmas presents!

    He's the mule who doesn't like yule! Apparently.

    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    Ker-plunk was rubbish. Takes hours to set up and five minutes to play.

    We once played Twister as part of a team building morning in work- the only slight problem being that our team included the two typists, who were in their sixties. After a while a rule change was brought in so that they could stand up in between their turns.

    I always thought that Buckaroo is too easy to have a point.
    For every fail, there is an equal and opposite win.

    ...Oh, who am I kidding?
