its true that downstate progressives are sissy.

good thing i live in upstate ny

In high school when it was raining outside, we got to play either Bombardment or Battle Ball on the basketball court. Bombardment had two teams (like dodge ball) and Battle Ball was every man for himself. We used these red rubber balls that were a little bigger than a softball, but only about half as big as a basketball. And you could really sling em. They'd leave big red welts if you got totally smoked by one. And you could throw at guys heads, no rule against it. It was fun and if you won Battle Ball, you were the king shit in gym for the week! That was the 1970's though. No way they'd allow that now.

The pussifictation of French'America continues.




Some how I blame Rodger Goodel.

The pussifacation (sp) of America!

I remember in grade school, probably sixth or seventh grade, we used to play co-ed slow pitch softball. You'd rotate around where eventually you play at every position, kind of like what you do in volleyball. Anyway, I remember I got sent to the principal's office because I smoked a line drive right back at the pitcher, who was a girl, and it hit her in the shoulder and left a big welt. They called my dad, and told him what happened. My dad (who was one of my little league coaches) said "What's the big deal? He's a line drive hitter. She should have pitched him away."

My dad was the best.

The pussification of America takes another step forward

Lorraine Bobbit is on the council committee.

Balls are banned at Convents also.

I just dnt understand the pussification being pushed in this country anymore.

Attorneys

Balls have been prohibited in NY for quite some time now.

Whatever happened to the good old days where we used to bash each other with a dodgeball?

You can heal the symptoms and not affect the cause
It's quite a bit like trying to heal a gunshot wound with gauze

So kids fight over the balls.....add more balls...or better yet add none and teach them to share, but this is lowest common denominator thinking at it's best.

Our country need not worry about an attack from a foreign invader. We have so many politicians, attorneys, and PC police douchebags that are destroying this country from the inside.

Smear the queer. Yep those were the days

Will it be mandatory that everyone wears a helmet at recess now?

There are no Balls is Washington right now either-lol

Yeah, this is taking it too far. As much as I resist anecdotal evidence, my friends and I used to hit each other with lead pipes and swords, and we all lived.

That is politically insensitive- It's called "gently pull the flag of the person of different sexual orientation". Fold the flag and hold it for them until the fun game is over then give it back. Apologize if you hurt their feelings in any way and continue to Have Fun!!

And whatever you do, don't keep score!

un-****ing-believable

they should turn out great 10 years from now when they have to compete for jobs/school/academics etc and realize life isn't nerf balls and participation ribbons.

we played tackle football in a big 'ol field that was riddled with chunks of gravel and broken glass here and there.


shockingly, I turned out fine.

has a lot to do with it for sure

When I was in fourth grade we played a game where two team lined up about 25 yards across from each other. The whole point was to run at the kid directly across from you and knock him on his ass while yelling "Kablamo!" or something to that effect. There was also a ball you could retrieve for extra points. A kid eventually knocked out his two front teeth outand I ended up in the principal's office because for some reason he said the game was my idea. It kinda was.

Anyway, the point is these people are pussies.

LMAO the last line.
Sig-worthy

People get mangled up or die in car wrecks every day.


Ban driving.

So I'm guessing slaughter ball is out.

That's one thing I like about pittsburg. They still have the dangerous playground equipment and they still play dodge ball. To be honest my son's first year here I went to pick him up after school and he had a bloody nose, I freaked and asked him what happened. He told me he got wacked with the ball and I asked him what he thought about that.

He said he should have moved quicker.

He got a high 5 and ice cream.

So play kill the guy with the nerf ball. Problem solved.

New Yorkers..

that reminds me'; our playground had the jungle gyms (the old dome shaped ones with galvanized steel that looked like big soccer balls) and monkey bars over asphalt. LMAO.

I remember when we got this new whiz-bang awesome jungle gym with all the bells and whistles.....it got installed with a ton of mulch under it. Shit - it made it worse because we then played games trying to push people off because the mulch didn't hurt when you landed on your back lol.

ahhh..good ol days.

Heard this on america now with andy dean.

So they can't all throw the dodgeballs at the one fat slow kid that picks his nose and eats his boogers? Thats bs

The suicide merry go rounds were great. Can't count how many times I saw someone spin off that thing.

We played dodgeball with the old basketballs. No shit. You were either quick, or you got pummelled

If you can dodge a Hammer you can dodge a ball-lol

BB gun fights with the old daisy pump action rifles.

bottle rocket fights using an empty roman candle tube. That shit was fun as hell. Until my friends shirt caught fire. .....changed shirts.....GAME ON!
We'd play at night in; sort of hide and seek. It would be all quiet, then you'd hear a whistling rocket in the distance, followed by something like 'OW'!, or "son of a bitch"!

We were doing that once, and I was wearing one of those 1980's mesh football jerseys. The bottle rocket end got stuck in the mesh right by my left shoulder....KABOOOM, knocked me on my ass. I couldn't hear for about 5 minutes out of my left ear, just ringing.

Its called Harm the Homosexual now.

Back in the early 80s when I lived in Columbia, MO, I was in this 2nd story apartment with a balcony and sliding glass door on the back. It was 4th of July, and me and a couple buddies had been drinking beer all day, and got into a bottle rocket war. Some shot from the balcony to the ground below, some shot back from the ground towards the apartment above. It was big fun until a bottle rocket shot through the open glass door and lodged in my couch, then set it on fire. Ooops.....

ROFL back in HS we'd get into bottle rocket wars out on peoples property all the time. We'd be safe and wear eye protection but all else was fair game. Hell we even built our own guns for them. I think I still have my 48 tube launcher I built because bottle rockets were so damn inaccurate. To this day I'm still surprised we didn't light someone's field on fire....o:-)

My son's school still has the geodesic dome.

If I had one of those in back yard I'd still use it today. There's nothing more relaxing than a good climbaround on a geodesic jungle gym.

:doh!: Those were a lot of fun...... one other 4th of July entertainment tricks was as as kid, Dad would drive a piece of pipe in the ground at a slight angle. Drop a M-80 down in it, then drop a baseball in it. BOOM! From our back yard to the open yard of our neighbors, you had about 3/4 of a block to gauge the trajectory of the ball. What this did was taught me how to catch a high fly ball, instant baseball skills! The one thing you didn't want as a 8 - 10 year old was to have that ball come down on your head of get your nose! :shake:

anyone ever make a potato gun; taped together empty spoup cans; lighter fluid.

little known fact; a potato gun will launch a tennis ball across 4 lanes of I-35 traffic and land in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn.

it's a good way to break the ice on a first date
"Hey....I'm excited for our date. Be sure to wear a skirt, we're going out to a nice place for dinner"

*later*
"Hey...have I shown you my geodesic jungle gym? we should totally hang upside down"
