This is pushka

Pushka is a nickname of mine that originated from year 9 highschool camp, where me and my friends were talking about this game, called “Kick the Can”, and I was saying “I know that game.. “pushka” – (which I played with some Polish church friends) – they thought it was so amusing, and started calling me Pushka ~ and the name just stuck… My real name is Ben – and its so common, so I respond better to Pushka, and feel all warm and fuzzy inside when people call me it ~ Fare well ` ~Ben-Pushka.

    I remember us giving you the name Pushka – it was while we were waiting to get lunch (or just after lunch) at base camp on the year 9 camp!
