First dodgeball, now TAG???

...These quilt hugging...

WTF you got against quilts? They are soft and warm and have never tried to kill me or raid my coke stash.

You hit it right on the head. The quilts came in my room while I was at school one day and stole my coke. I was jonesing for a week after that. Actually I to love a good quilt. I just picture the women that make some of them sitting around a quilting circle talking about how Jr. just got another boo boo and that it should never have happened.
Don't get me wrong. I do believe that some things can be helped. I.E. airbags, electrical outlet covers and seatbelts. However it was said best in here. There are winners and there are losers, get used to it. If you're good, be the winner. If not try harder PUSSY!!

I wonder how the Tag-Banners would have felt about how we used to get on the swings, swing high enough to get into free fall state, then letting go to do a 20 foot back flip.

If you lived on a gravel road, did you ever have rock fights. Galvanized trash can lids made great shields.

Or simply beating the shit out of each other, that was fun.

Oh, and don't forget compacting snowballs into the ever deadly iceball.

Then on the boring days my brothers and I used to jump off the house.

How big of a bicycle ramp can you build?

Touch football was reserved as a co-ed only sport (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

I have never broken a bone, and only went to emergency room a couple times as a kid. I bear many scars from cuts and stiches that serve to remind me how much fun it is to be a child.

This stuff always amazes me, but here is the twist. Who are the people whose job it is to figure out what school yard games should be banned...games that have been played for 100s of year...i mean shit it's tag. but seriously, i want this job. head into work monday morning google for about 3 hours then type up a memo about how duck, duck, goose is crushing the youth of america, especially the fat slow kids.

heres a thought, maybe if more kids played games outside they wouldn't be so fat and slow.

argg.

just to clarify, once you are okay with losing then it is okay to be fat and slow...seems to often follow a wedding or a 30th birthday.

I think the real problem is people today are so sue happy. Schools feel like they have to protect themselves from being sued. So they cook up a logical sounding excuse to eliminate dodgeball and tag on the playground.

I agree mort with that as well mort. After all we do live in the world's most litigous society.

I was talking to a old MAlaya/Vietnam Vet about this not so long ago......his reply, send them to war, it will sort them all out.......maybe he has something there??????


apart from that, if you dont have the must win attitude youll end up a looser all your life
