Haha... I guess. I was really mean to the boys in grade school and high school. In fourth grade, I think, a kid named Tony was laying on the floor for some reason and I stepped on his boy parts. Didn't even have a reason. I got in trouble, though. Then in high school, I slapped Donny Mazzochi so hard that the inside of his cheek got stuck to his braces.

I skid a lot of holes in the knees of my pants playing on our asphalt playground.

sorry man.

let's see, we had keep away, tag, jumping contests off the swing sets, dodge ball, huge-ass snow forts and snowball wars, "royal rumble" (semi-organized fights), and still i turned out all right . . . mostly. that's lame - i grew up in massachusetts and even though i was quite the social pariah, i was able to redeem myself on occasion during recess.

WAH! MY KID GOT FUCKED UP PLAYING TAG!

Exactly.

I think the ban is ridiculous but I can only imagine it is done based on a valid concern for litigation.

Some of the legal folks could pipe in about legal obligations for safekeeping at a school, etc. but it is still pretty sad that TAG has to be banned. I didn't see Red Rover banned.

Unless of course it's Snuff Tag. That should probably be banned.
