We mostly flipped "colors" on long island in the early 70's but some flipping was conducted scaling cards and dealing with leaners. In Hicksville, LI you had to knock down a leaner from the wall in order to claim superiority. Sometimes stacks of cards and side bets were happening. You might put 4-5 cards in astack and bet them on the outcome of a flip, either scaled or playing colors. |

Humphrey: All right, settle down. Settle down... Now, before I begin the lesson, will those of you who are playing in the match this afternoon move your clothes down onto the lower peg immediately after lunch, before you write your letter home, if you're not getting your hair cut, unless you've got a younger brother who is going out this weekend as the guest of another boy, in which case, collect his note before lunch, put it in your letter after you've had your hair cut, and make sure he moves your clothes down onto the lower peg for you. Now... |
