 If those sound familiar, you might have played sheepshead a time or two in your life.

In high school we played sheepshead at lunchtime. Once our school gained a commons room, we played it there whenever we were free, "we" being whoever wanted to play. The other day, I ran across a mention of the game. Hadn't thought of it in years. I've been listening to stuff about it, and it's coming back to me a bit. 

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has an article with a video.

(Also, when did they start calling the Milwaukee Journal the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel?)

Anyhow, did/do you play sheepshead? If yes, where and when did you learn? If no, what if any card games did/do you play?
