Oh, I didn't like Red Rover, I'm just trying to imagine how much it would suck with over-competitive 250-pound men throwing themselves at wrist-locked hands.

We need a parachute. And NM needs to go in the mushpot if we play DDG.

Ooh, can I sneak away and sit on a bench by myself, or perhaps go talk to the teachers?

The only thing that would get me excited about this idea is old school handball, using the red rubber 4 square ball. I'd be all over that. Once in high school on one of the last days of the year, we took a softer volleyball and played probably my last real game of handball. My hands were bruised afterwards.

I'm surprised how cheap the parachutes are.

We need a large ball for the parachute too.

Sounds like you played near the back......the rewards(and risks) are far greater near the front line where virtually point blank shots can be inflicted(and suffered)

Any game that lets you say the word "duck" repeatedly is a good one.

And if you want to dust off the super pinky, I'm good for a few rounds of punch ball, flies up or Chinese handball.

Though I would prefer not to play for asses up.

I've always thought it would be fun to create a playground sized to adults.

20' tall swings and that sort of thing...

Our school eliminated that tactic with a variation. Once you were out, you were sent to a box behind the other team's side where you could continue to pelt your opponents. You could still hide, but it would require running back and forth after every throw, no one could maintain that for very long.

I havn't played handball in years. Waiting in line for your turn to see if you can win the match and play the next person in line.

What about teather ball? Remember?????
