The story of me getting paddled by my elementary principle started with a leap off a 4th grade desk to clothesline my friend.

Kids today don’t know. I broke my arm in a pile up playing pavement football. Cast from my knuckles to my shoulder. Used a coat hanger to scratch. No cell phones. Parents not home. Grandparents not home. 18 yr old uncle answered. Picked me up from school. He stopped in the Wendy’s drive thru for himself on the way to the hospital.

My 18 year old uncle was my older brother’s friend who was about 7-8 years older than me. His name was Dale and Dale drove a work in progress IROC-Z. Dale almost killed us while speeding down a country road on his way to take me to the golf course. Dale also was ok with letting me, a 13 year old, drive his car around the nearby state park.

Dale was there for me as long as I didn’t rat him out by telling my bro that Dale was stealing his weed.

Erector sets. Teach him how to work with his hands.

Plus, at age 3, he'll get plenty of iron when he swallows all those little bolts and nuts.

No, but Smear the Qu**r was pretty popular

That and Butts Up (some call it wall ball).

It’s not just technology, but adults and parenting too. We use to play baseball in the street. Try that now. I used to walk and bike all over town, now parents get cited for allowing the kids to roam.

Can’t have kids playing ball in the street while morons are driving and looking at their phones.

I almost got run over (dude clipped my grocery bags and broke a thing or two) around noon last weekend at a cross walk with flashing lights because some beta male was looking at his phone while driving.

Never heard of it. How do you play?

Apparently this?



Must be ghey though, pickleball net in the background. No self respecting disc golfer would ever participate in such shenanigans.

Are you kidding me? This was the only alternative to smear the queer.

Bitch this shit was going on well before pickleball and disc golf were a thing… when American was great.

Had my friends and I known of this game growing up, we would have played all the time. Next time I get together with childhood friends, might have to try this out. Throw in some beers and that could be a lot of fun.

On a Reddit page somewhere, some dude is posting a story that starts,

"I'm DM-ing this chick for nudes on my way to see the budtender when some beta male prances out in the middle of the street slogging his groceries and almost scratches the finish on the whip. Loser's never heard of instacart?"

On some Reddit page somewhere, there's a kid posting a story that starts,

"I'm DM-ing this chick for nude snaps on my way to see the budtender when some beta male prances out in the middle of the street slogging his groceries and almost scratches the finish on the chariot. Loser's never heard of instacart?"

The end can't come soon enough.
