Then, you see the happy ones have become children again playing Ring-a-levio (sp?), while the grumpy ones remain old and miserable.
Think about it - aren't us model railroaders, now largely old-timers, metaphorically similar to the joyful nursing home residents playing Ring-a-levio?

Actually, I think the game was kick the can (in Ring-a-levio you free captured people by getting to the home base/jail and saying something, in kick the can you get to the home base and kick the can to free 'prisoners'), the title of the episode itself was "kick the can". Another game I am sure that is no longer played, growing up on a summer night it was a favorite in my neighborhood in the burbs
