I do.

And we played it with all sorts of knives in all sorts of ways.

It taught me that the scenes in movies where the hero (or villain, or whatever) throws a knife and it hits its target point-first are, um, rehearsed. HPH

My dad was scoutmaster of our troop. He caught some kids screwing around with it one time. So what did he do? He taught them how it was played....

Good game. One of those 10 year old get used to weapons games...I remember playing it in the boy scouts too.

Wonder what would happen today or if scoutmasters would find themselves in a legal liability quandry over a cut finger.

You had to love your first scout knife

And Dr Cloud I'd be happy to show you how to throw and stick them everytime.

If I did - I didn't know what it was called at the time.

I believe the official spelling is Mumbletypeg.

Here's one person's description:
