Was listening to the radio this morning and heard them discussing this...
I'm 26 and never really played this when I was younger...never saw the need to...
But if I were sitting in the back seat I would call "No (female dog)"
Cuz sitting on that hump is THEE WORST...
Anyway...I found a website www.shotgunrules.com (they have a site for everything it seems)
...and there is some interesting things on it...for instance...the HISTORY of ShotGun
The History
The history of calling "Shotgun" goes back to the days of covered wagons and the Wild West. On a trip across the plains, the driver of a wagon wouldhold the reins of his horse team and concentrate on driving. This left him and the occupants of his wagon susceptible to sneak attacks from bandits andthieves. To avoid this atrocious circumstance it became necessary for one person to sit next to the driver with a shotgun and fend off the enemy.
Defending against bandits is no longer the priority of Shotgun however, but it has evolved into a pre-driving ritual that isexperienced before almost every car ride across America and even the world. Because of the obvious evolution that has already occurred with Shotgun, we ask youto consider Shotgun as a living entity and be aware that it is always changing for the better good of society.
Have any of you played this b4? Do you STILL play it? What are the rules YOU go by?
