Love you too Klaus, I mean Tesb.....

dodge ball

the most "evil" game ever

random?

sort of

was listening to NPR What What don't tell me program and they were talking about banning tag because someone could get hurt

one guy jokingly compared it to dodge ball and said both are "evil"

So where does it end, I remember years before you can say Merry Christmas and no one was offended. Now, ugh...

Growing up, played both. It's a game of chance and sometimes randomness depending on the players, if kids liked you, they hit the other one. Otherwise, you either get hit or learn to dodge, you don't think about it then but it is a metaphor for life as an adult.

It ends when no one is happy and no one is offended.

I find it sad. I'm the perfect person to ask about it since I was on the short end of both sticks.

I'm Jewish. Did I care that they had Christmas parties? No. I got a day without homework. Didn't care why. Did I ever help them throw in a menorah decoration or something similar? Yes. It's how you balance the equation. Hell, I like How the Grinch Stole Christmas more than most Christians, mostly cause I'm a Seuss fan. So what's the big deal? Include more, not exclude more. It's more educational that way. Besides, everyone thought eight days of Christmas would rock.

I was always the last picked in P. E. I was a short, lanky kid with glasses that everyone knew as a dork. Did I like tag? Yes, cause I was fast given that I was so light and I could turn on a dime. You couldn't tag me to save your very life. Did I like dodgeball? Yes, cause people targeted me all the time and I couldn't throw the ball worth squat. So why did I like it? Cause I could tempt everyone to toss at me and learned to move like a demon, allowing my team to get every ball on the field and shotgun the enemy. I did have some exceptionally great moments, told upon request, which made it one of the few positive things I became known for.

You want to get hurt? Okay, let's put on plastic hats and ram into one another. Or we could run up and down a court repeatedly for an hour assuming we don't have any heart defects. Or we could grind our knees repeatedly while tossing a cannon ball down a field. I bet those activities result in more injury than tag, dodgeball, or even spread eagle, a game designed specifically to induce pain.

My message to America: Grab some sack and shut the fuck up.

And that's a shame cause it look's like the direction were are all going...

Amen or Shalom my brother. And before you ask, my wife is a chef a Jewish home, she keeps me on my toes..

you have a wife? don't tell harpo

Amen is Hebrew. Shalom means hello, goodbye, and peace.

Do you mean she is a chef in a Jewish home?

LOL

Your story is similar to mine Draakjacht. Just change the religion to Jehovah's Witness.

Although a form of Christianity, you guys don't celebrate holidays. Please tell me you've since decided to enjoy birthdays.

Nope, we give presents when ever we want.

I still like birthdays. Cake!

So secular societies are inherently corrupt and interactions with non-witnesses are suppose to be limited. Is that meaning you would never attend one of Stant's sexy parties?

Nope.

But cake is fun.

and another six possums are gutted for the nets. about half way through the second net.

what is this holiday thing?

harpo

how can lies be fun?

Wait until April 1st rolls around again and try being on the giving side. That's how.

A good point.

Thank you for correction, I see Stant used the Nuclear option in another thread. Wow, he did not hold back an ounce on old boy. 

he was pent up

The guy deserved it. We had all dropped the issue. There was no need to bring it back up.

Like I said earlier, he's the Rottwieler of the group...
