Zoom, Schwartz and Profigliano.

It's a game we played so many years ago, after passing a doobie.
You sit in a circle, and the zoomer says "Zoom" by making eye contact
with another player. The player has three options: zoom another player,
(not the zoomer, that's a violation.)
The second option is to look at another player and say "Schwartz".
Then the other player is up, and becomes the zoomer.
The third option is to look at the zoomer and say "Perfigliano".
This reverts back to the zoomer who can zoom someone else.
It gets going really fast--very funny.
When a person errs, like zooming the zoomer, or not looking at
the right person, the game stops, everyone laughs, and point their
elbows at the offender.
Okay, I'm crazy!?
To this day I point my elbow at a gaff.

As I recall, we played it as a drinking game, and the person who erred had to take a drink.

Oddly enough, it popped into my mind just a few days ago, for no particular reason.
