Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/19/2022 3:41:00 AM I am dying to know what kill-a-maroo is. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 7/19/2022 7:05:00 AM Ha, ha! Kill-a-ma-roo is a brutal version of football where you try to kill the guy who has the ball, who tries to run away from everyone -- and never succeeds. Once you have him down, you literally gouge and (almost) dismember him until he coughs up the ball, and the next sucker/'hero' picks it up. I played it until about age 10. When it got seriously dangerous, I stopped (chicken that I truly am).
