Boodie – it’s a game, often played in swimming pools and/or lawns: One person closes their eyes/is blindfolded, and constantly calls out “Marco!”. The other people try to evade the blinded person whilst replying “Polo!”.
…or at least, that’s how I always played it growing up.
And Boodie, I’m in Melb, have played this game all summer for the past 24 years! Though we used to call the game Fish Outta Water, or Shark. Same rules though.
And as a random bit of trivia, you’ll all be pleased to know that it was only this summer just gone that I could do Alligator Eyes, where you can open your eyes under water. Anyway, that’s enough embarrassing information.
A-ha! A tactic I haven’t tried yet. I shall use it at once.
MARCO!
If only it could works in reality
I love really this strip =D
Marco!
Polo!
(aw crap)
ROBIN HOOD!

Oh, it doesn’t work either.
This must be a european/american thing, I’ve never heard of the call back and forth Marco/Polo thing in Australia, is there a point to it?

My comment is nowhere near as informative as J°, but no less entertaining…
