Hot Slut Of The Day!

Tuba Ruba!

My brain hasn’t burped up a thought about “Tuba Ruba” in decades, probably not since the 1980s, but when a friend mentioned it the other day, it came back to me. Us little children of the 80s didn’t have dumb shit like hoverboards, SnapChat or Jaden Smith’s tweets to entertain us. We had to entertain ourselves with crap like board games! (“Board games? I’ve never heard of that app,” said my 13-year-old first cousin once removed who didn’t know what MySpace is until I had to explain it to her.) The 1980s gave us all kinds of messed-up board games including Tuba Ruba, which described itself as “The Body Action Game.” I know, that sounds like some sex party stuff.

But Tuba Ruba was a game where you had to drop a marble into plastic tubes wrapped around your body and shake as you tried to get that marble to the bottom. It’s the simple things, okay? I have never played Tuba Ruba and I’m a little surprised that my child self didn’t make my own bootleg version using old plastic tubing. Tuba Ruba should’ve come with a child-sized baggie of coke, because you had to be high on the bad shit to get into this (or you had to be a child of the 80s who didn’t have Peach to entertain you). This is how we made ourselves look a mess in the 80s:

And I can’t with Drake. He’s wrong for not adding the words “Choreography by Tuba Ruba” to the end of his video for Hot Bling, because he obviously learned those moves while playing it.
