Let’s take a trip back to the May 1968 pages of the Delta Optimist to see a group of youths playing an old game called Buck Buck.
The game had several versions including one in which one group of players climbed onto the backs of a second group in order to build as large a pile as possible or cause the other players to collapse.
The game had a bit of a revival thanks to Bill Cosby making reference to it on television and his recordings.
Cosby's 1967 Grammy Award-winning stand-up comedy album Revenge, based on his childhood memories, includes a track "Buck Buck" where he describes playing the game as a youngster.
The character Fat Albert is introduced for the first time on that track.
