I believe the nail-in-a-board was a planned feature of the church property, maintained by the groundskeeper, who reset it, like a mousetrap, after each catch. (Groundskeeper played by Bill Murray.)

I got mine one day when Johnny, Dave and I were walking alongside the building on our way to Baxter's. Inside, they were singing. I decided that was worthy of mockery, went into a little monkey dance to the music and came right down on a nail sticking up from a board. (A nail sticking up from a board was the real-world counterpart to the cartoon world's falling safe.) Johnny immediately pointed out as to how this could be seen as an act of God. Cut to me with my foot in a bowl of epsom salts, thinking on my sins.

Don't remember Candyland at all. Marla loved playing cards. One time she took her deck over to the Rudd's house next to the church.

I think the Magdalenos were the only ones that had a carrom board on the block. I had a favorite stick, not curved or warped. It gave me a little no-how about how you should play pool, which I did later after Berendo. Not so much a girls thing I think.Johnny--On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 2:42 PM Cathy Fortuna <fortunac@verizon.net> wrote:--Good call. Other than cards, I don't think Shoots and Ladders or Candyland were played half as much.
