Taking the fun out of recess

[Anderson]

I think this is one step closer to creating what Arrested Development (a great show) called "gradeless, structureless, new age feel-gooderies." Isn't tag a great way to excercise? I mean, what better motivation to run than to avoid being "it"? Why cant we go back to the days where if you got hurt, you sucked it up and had your mom kiss your wounds instead of getting the lawyer on the phone? Im sick of people and lawyers looking to make a quick buck. Its ruining the world for the rest of us.

We could always have all the kids stand in a big circle just out of reach of one another and jog in place with their arms outstretched. Its nearly tag, with all of the great exercise benefits and the safety of running in place. And in the end everyone comes out a loser.

I worked as a lifeguard at a camp ground that was owned by a church. They had different youth camps come in and out over the summer and apparently the head church people banned capture the flag, red rover, AND chubby bunny....

A little part of my soul just died.

Aaaah! Sure miss those days of playing capture the flag especially in the dark.

Back when I was in boy scouts we would go all out playing capture the flag. I would have full camo on, face paint, a camo head covering... it was awesome. We would formulate plans on the fly, mess them up and all get caught. It was great.
