FUCK!!!

Between 6 & 9 dodgeball was the best fucking game on earth when it was to cold or rainy to go outside. Run, duck, dodge, leap, stab, shank, elbow, catch, throw. Everything a healthy child needed to burn off some energy and go back to class ready to learn.

Damn that shit was fun.[/quote]

My niece and nephew were counsellors at day camp for dodgeball and they had the rule that no one could be eliminated playing it. I have to admit, it was funny as hell hearing them describe the poor bastards that would get hit again and again only to be told “It’s okay Billy, you’re still in the game. Run faster. You’re doing great.”

I guess camp management didn’t really think all the way through the ‘no exclusion’ rule.

Back when I was a kid we couldn’t afford fancy nerf balls so we just throw rocks at each other and we liked it.

I couldn’t be a kid at that day camp. I was one the kids who used to “headhunt” back in grade school.

WHAT THE FUCK happened to my Country ? Holy fucking shit turds ! yeah, I too was the scrawny kid who was Quick, agile and could catch. I LOVED not only dodgeball but also No-pads TACKLE football on Saturdays. Yeah, we got hurt, injured and had the occasional bloody nose yet we still managed to live through it and PLAY. Growing up in Chicago you not only got your ass handed to you by your fellow man but the winter weather as well. BUTKIS forever !

We are growing a new generation of (SOY)lent green. At least little fat kids taste better. Spicy Salsa anyone ?

I am going out hunting now Ted Nugget style and getting a deer, or bunny rabbit! To bad they dont sell hunting permits for humans ; ( then again it would not be hard catching some of these fat little nintendo playing fat asses !

First I thought like “No balls allowed”?

Then I discovered that OP meant real balls.

Then I discovered that I was right all along.

I feel an odd sense of satisfaction now…

I actually kind of meant the title as a play on words. I thought I was being clever.

East Texas red clay dirt clods for me. Not only did they hurt when they connected but they “exploded” like little artillery shells on impact with anything.[/quote]

We played with clumps of long grass with dirt clods around the roots. You got this sweet bola/sling type action holding the tips of the grass and spinning the clod. A rock inside the clod would occasionally make somebody bleed. Pure awesome.

LOL!

I know the whole “pussification of kids these days” thing has been done, but this came up in conversation the other day and was just blown away by the asstacular stupidity of it all. My boss coaches his kid’s soccer team: boys under 12.

He suggested that his boy take a ball to school to run some basic drills at recess for a little extra practice. His son said they weren’t allowed to have soccer balls (or any balls except Nerf-type) at school because it is “too dangerous”.

At first my boss called bullshit, but upon further investigation, apparently it’s true. Is this as out there as it sounds to me or is this crap actually normal now?

Seriously?!

What.

The.

Fuck?[/quote]

My school didn’t allow anything bigger than a tennis ball; please, try to imagine having a game of football (soccer) with a tennis ball. We also weren’t allowed snowball fights, to walk on the right hand side of staircases or to walk on the grass. School fucking sucks.

This is just absurd.

Seriously, how much further will this go?

I was DEADLY at dodgeball

My kids were incredulous when I described doing this as a kid. “Wait, you threw rocks at your friends? Well that explains a lot” Little smart asses.

Hell our principal used to play soccer with us some days when I was about 11. One day he kicked the ball really hard and I somehow managed to get hit right in the face. I hit the ground like a sack of spuds and couldn’t see anything for a few seconds but we just laughed it off and continued playing(he looked nervous as hell until he saw me laughing though). So many parents would be ready to sue for that these days

Anyways, I dunno if this story has been posted around here yet but I just saw it on Facebook and this thread reminded me of it:

Maddening…

Dodgeball has been out for several years now, since it ‘allows the bigger stronger kids to isolate and humiliate the smaller, weaker kids’.

what a shitty era to be a kid.
