    I heard the little metal sheet inside those slap bracelets could cut you really bad. Never actually heard of it happening, though.

    Sticks, rocks, and glass bottles. I have so many damn scares from these things.

    When your squad is trying to rush the hill top with sticks, you really learn the imporantce of the high ground, when rocks and glass shower down on you from above.

    You always had that one [ussy pay], that no one wanted to play, but he'd [itch bay] and moan enough that you'd let him in the game. He'd always be the first one to start crying and run and tell and get everyone an ass beating.


    I also remember in pe class that warm weather was football time outside, and basketball was the cold weather sport. Till we saw arena football on tv, and we started playing tackle football on the basketball court. The band kids sit in the bleachers and watched with the teachers.

    Have they banned dodge ball yet? We were still chucking it at people's heads when I last had a PE class in high school in 2004.

    We used to play this in a front yard full of acorns. When you got tackled, you would have about 20 acorn sized bruises on your back. It was also like running on marbles.

    I know in Tennessee dodge ball is against appropriate practices.

    Probably just riding a bike everywhere with no helmet. I remember doing some crazy stuff on a bicycle at a very young age... also swinging from vines hanging from trees off a cliff into a lake.

    Crosman 760 was a terror.

    I had the crosman 760. 10 pumps as fast as you could go if you missed, and if you got careless you'd pinch the shit out of your hand.
