What is Kick the can?

A term used on a grateful dead or grateful dead related parking lot in the early 90's and still found on parking lots accross the country. Soley invented by the enfamous Steve Burkemper before a grateful dead show on the parking lot. Ticketless and desprite he realized that holding his finger in the air to obtain a miracle ticket wasn't efficient enough. So young Burkemper came up with the catchy jungle "Kick down so I can get down", which became an instant staple for ticketless deadheads tring to score a ticket.

"I wanna see the show, come on...Kick down so I can get down".

Kick the can - meaning

What politicians do to our National debt. Instead of resolving it, they refuse to address it and instead borrow more.

The Republicans and Democrats both borrowed a ton of money and put the government further in debt. This is what we call kicking the can down the road. Guess our children's children will be paying this one off.

Kick the can - definition

The oldest known game in the history of humanity. The name speaks for itself; children gather around and kick a can to each other. The history of this game dates are far back as medieval ages, perhaps even further.

Centuries later.....thank God for Nintendo.

Kick the can

A children's game, typically played in one or more adjoining backyards. Players set up a base (often a frizbee is used), and place a can (may be a sand bucket, a pop can, an empty can of spaghetti sauce or even an empty nesquick jar), on top of it. They then decide which player is to be it first.

A player who is not it begins the game by kicking the can. All of the players (except the one who is it) run away and hide, as long as they are within the boundry limits. "It", must retrieve the can and place it back onto the base. It may now attempt to find the players. When It finds a player, he must call out that player's name and location. Should that information be correct, a race ensues. The player who is it must run and jump over the can before the (now found) player kicks it. If It wins the race, then the player i caught.

If at any point in the game a player (who has been seen or not) kicks the can, all players are free. This includes when a player out-runs "it" during a "race".

The round ends when all players are caught. The first one to be caught ten becomes "it".

The game ends when too many players quit, or their mothers force them to go inside.

There are various changes of rules in Kick the Can, including, but not limited to: a timed version, a no-race version and a version where more than one player is "it".

You guys wanna play kick the can?
