Pefect Example why the kids today are wusses.

It makes me look like an ******* when I am the only parent on either team actually trying to get my kid to make an effort on the field instead of whining and saying "I'm thirsty".

 

Give 'em all pellet rifles. Agility can be learned. :lol:

Nothing quite so sweet as shootin' a fat boy......

 

We used to play prison ball(similar to dodge ball) at my middle/jr high school in a big sandy area. If we didn't have a dodgeball, we used basketballs. There was no rule against throwing at the face. There is no pain quite like having a basketball covered in sand being slammed into your face from 5 feet away.

 

There is "one thing sweeter!!!" BEATING THE CHIT OUT OF THE DUDE WHO SHOT ME WITH A PELLET RIFLE...........ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS IN FRONT OF THE GUYS HE WAS WITH OR THE GIRL HE WAS TRYING TO IMPRESS!!!!:hihi: :hihi:

Sorry about the lost of your friend (saw it in another thread) I lost a fine dog and a great horse.....I've been around other dogs and horses but----none of them could ever touch TARBABY AND BROADWAY JOE.

You're a good dude!!!!!

 

We didn't play softball, rather cabbage ball at PE. And us big guys could crush that big ass ball. No one wanted to be anywhere near the infield when the big guys were up to bat. We were always trying to see who could hit it the furthest. Never could hit it further than our leading HR hitter from the baseball team. That guy hit it a mile, and hard.

We also played volleyball during Homecoming Week. We would put the basketball players with our volleyball teamers. We crushed all classes all four years (Didn't hurt that we had 2 all-state VB players in our class, and I played co-rec for LSU). Can you say tattoo at the 10-ft line? I also tatted many an inebriated frat guy in intramurals at the Rec Center. Co-Rec kicked ass in intramurals.

 

Yeah, I was one of the small guys but, I put a lot of effort into gym (Probably a little to much). I didn't really back down but, when we played contact sports but, I let them know that I wouldn't give up, and they let me know that they were bigger.

We didn't play softball but we played wiffle-ball. It did equalize the class a little bit. We always had a problem with the girls not tagging up (Got pretty frustrating). The only kid would had the true advantage was the lefty. We played in the corner of the gym in such a way that the right hander got kill a ball but it would go over the, what we called it, "The Tan Monster" (We had these tan seats in our gym, they we fold up and created a 50 foot wall). But the lefty had the whole other side of the court and he would hit it in the gap everytime. Fortunanlty, we only played wiffle ball once every two weeks so, he ddn't get to steal the how all that much. We got him back in dodgeball.

 

Further proof - in today's news:

Probably the most innocent game every played as a kid.

Will disappear in these schools because nobody wants a lawsuit slapped on 'em.

F the lawyers and judges that give these kinds of suits the time of day.

Pretty freakin' sad. :dis:

 

Nothing like a stirring game of, "I would tag you if I the teachers would only let me," to get the blood flowing during recess. Maybe we can change it to "spit." If you can run someone down and get close enough to launch an oyster, and make contact with them, they could be "it" next.

 

The worst thing about this is the school plans to replace the free play with an excercise period. This is going to make kids hate excercise.
