Shawn KingI can literally hear this image...
Jason@KingShawn I can feel the sting.
@JasonW LOL Me too! I wasn't what you would call nimble as a kid. :)
@KingShawn I had a strategy.. jump in front of a slow ball early and get out of the game. Wasn’t my strength.
@JasonW Brilliant strategy except my competitiveness wouldn't let me. :(
But today, if I somehow found myself in an underground, illegal dodgeball match - yeah...I'm doing that. :)
@KingShawn good luck with that. Sounds too much like Fight Club to me. I’d prefer a book club.
Linh Pham@KingShawn Not only heard, but felt the pain of getting smacked by one or ten of them being shot at me...
@qlp LOL Me too! I wasn't what you would call nimble as a kid. :)
@KingShawn I wasn't nimble and I was an absolutely nerd/geek/dweeb of a kiddo, so that I meant that I was the target of anything and everything, including getting pelted with those at dodgeball or just a kid just yelling "catch!" randomly.
@qlp I had a weird childhood. Up until 10 years old, I was the short, fat kid every mean boy in my neighbourhood beat up on.
We moved away...
We moved back two years later.
In that time, I grew a foot to six feet tall and weighed 185lbs.
I spent the next two years hunting down and beating the ever-loving SHITout of EVERY kid who ever teased me. 😂
@KingShawn I was a short and fat kid with some lovely pituitary system fun. 6th grade was the hardest as I had skipped 5th grade and I was doing math and science stuff a few years ahead of everyone else; so, I had to deal with kids (and later teens) that were one year older than the ones that I would have been dealing with.
I moved from one side of the metro area to the other after 6th grade; so, I didn't have to deal with any of them anymore.
KitsyDamn...I can too. High pitched, tinny, airey, ..
@kitsystratton Great description. :)
☀️✨𝕁𝕖𝕟𝕟✨☀️(Taylor’s Version)@KingShawn and smell it
@SunshineGoddess LOL RIGHT!? They had a *very* particular odour about them, didn't they?
@KingShawn they did! Like a weird sweaty rubber smell.
CypherC@KingShawn Do they still make those?
@CypherCloudsculpter No idea. The terms of my parole don't let me to go into school gymnasiums any more...
😂
I know a lot of places have banned dodgeball and other games like it (my stepson's elementary school wouldn't even let kids play Tag) but I bet there are remnants of it out there.
@KingShawn HEY! They DO still make them! 😀 I should buy some, lol.
