When I was a kid, a bunch of friends and I had a game called “Over The Olympic Road”, where 8 people would lie down on the ground in two columns of 4, everyone’s feet facing the opposite row, and one person would take a running start and attempt to jump over everyone while the 8 people on the ground would do their best to kick you out of the air. We were like 8-9, and it never ended well, but we played it nonetheless.

We used to play with airsoft guns around the apartment block. Was all fun and games (except for the poor cars that got minor dents everywhere) until someone supposedly got shot in the eye and lost said eye. The kids stopped playing afterwards.
Kids are stupid.

I started smoking weed at 12 years old. I have a few thoughts about that:
-
I see 12 year olds now, and think, holy fuck, they’re babies.
-
What fucking scumbag sold me weed at 12?
-
This is a legitimate argument for the legalization of weed. At 20 years old, alcohol was still hard to get. Stores everywhere ID’d and “hey mister”ing people wasn’t always guaranteed. Yet at 12, and almost every day thereafter, I could get weed 24/7, and it was delivered to me within 15 minutes, because the dealer, not a store owner with a legal obligation to check state IDs, made the decision on who was too young. Legalizing weed would make it harder to get for anyone under the legal age.

That is awesome. I’d play that now if I had 8 friends.
We used to play leapfrog except instead of squatting way down we’d stay standing.

We used to play British bulldog which involves kids trying to run from one end of the playground to the other and the kid in the middle trying to tackle and stop someone and say British bulldog 1 2 3. Then there was 2 kids in the middle. Just repeat until all kids were cought.
We also played another game called “army”. Someone would yell out “who wants play aaarrrrrrmmmmmy”.
The kid who called out would be in the centre and the other Kids would then make a chain holding hands. The first kid would start to turn on the spot faster and faster, which in turn made the chain turn faster which meant which ever kid that was on the end eventually would get flung off the end and tumble over on the concrete. Great fun

We used to ride our bikes up and down the street and 2 people, one on either side of the road, would throw a foot ball and try to knock the bike rider off.
We also used to do demo derby with out bikes. I have scars on the outsides of my legs from that.

I don’t know man, I see a guy with Harvard on his resume and I don’t see someone staying at my company long. People out west just don’t care, in my experience. Unless it’s OSU or UO. Ha!
I had a step-cousin (lol!) who went to a state school for 3.75 years, then transferred to USCto look good. He and girls at a bar were the only people who cared.

You all make me sick, haven’t you seen the Gillette ad? Boys being boys will lead to toxic men!
My stories are more boring, mostly climbing trees, sometimes with a makeshift rope harness. I was in elementary school being supervised by middle schoolers. We also used sticks to cut down thorn bushes in the woods for hours at a time.

I feel bad for my children. If this is the world they have to grow up in…
I played a fun game as a kid called “try to play Magic the Gathering with your friends without having your ass kicked by local bullies”
I didn’t win much.

Oh yeah, no question: I’d kick the crap out of some 8th graders.

Picked up a pizza on the way home from today’s workout, been trying to eat more but instead of the scale moving the only change has been bigger, nastier poops.
Clean bulks don’t work, if it isn’t dirty you aren’t doing it right #Facts

I got sick of telling people I follow a meal plan for gym-related reasons. Now I just tell them I have IBS.

I like to walk when there’s still light; so I’m rushing out because it will be dark soon. I’m walking past the gym of the apartment complex where I live, and through the windows I see a football game with the Patriots…FUCK!!!..I thought it was tomorrow!..I rush back to my apartment, turn on the TV, and…nope, it’s not on; check the internet, yep, it’s tomorrow.
Of course, too late to get my walk in before dark.
Bastards and their stupid replays of old games, there oughta be a law I say. Just so The Universe knows, if I picked up a lotto ticket from the ground with winning #s, I would throw it away because I’d know it was fake.

We played the same game.
I always remember while playing one day, there was one incident where some wee guy hit the deck and started screaming…
“I’ve broke my hard-on, I’ve broke my hard-on”

I worry that when I’m doing Spoto press people assume.im half replying because I’m weak or just have bad form. So I always do a full rep at the end of the set.
