Punch Buggy Solitaire

I have come up with a new game - Punch Buggy Solitaire!

It is the perfect way to avoid getting that all-alone punchbuggy emotion, and to hone your punch buggy playing skills.


Playing is simple. When you are alone, if you see a Volkwagen bug, simply give yourself a gentle discreet tap (act nonchalant), and then silently say to yourself, Punch buggy, [colour], no punch back.

When next you play the game with a date or with friends, you will notice a marked improvement in the speed of your punching skills.

I love playing Punch Buggy, and I feel that there should be room for creativity and embellishment as you play the game.

Here are some spontaneous creative moves that have been dismissed by friends that I believe should count:

• if you spot a Volkswagen bug on TV, you should be able to punch the person who is cuddling next to you,
• if you have a picture of a Volkswagen bug on your camera, during a a long drive you should be able to look at the picture on your viewer, punch the driver and yell, "Punch Buggy, [colour], no punch back", over and over again until they clue in as to where you are seeing a Volkswagen bug,
• if you see a groovy Volkswagen bug, as the one in the picture above, you should be able to punch twice (hard!), and
  
• if you are walking around with someone who claims, "I don't play that game," you should still be able to punch them if you see a Volkswagen bug and declare, "Well, you are playing now."
  

I am hoping that Zoom and David Scrimshaw, will give me their support on this matter, since they appear to be well informed players. So far, I have not been able to convince my trusted friend that my rules are valid.
