Today's snowballers suck

[jwinslow]

that was before the new vbulletin system. It used to be different... but it is useful at times to have successive posting when you want to separate two posts (ie When you posted all of the HS football records... that would have been an absurdly long post if they had not remained separate posts).

Oh ok.

We're too busy listening to our iPods and posting on our Xangas and MySpaces to learn these oh-so essential childhood skills. Fuck off.

No, it's cold in Jamaica.

you wore gloves? i do it the chuck norris-way and just use my bare hands.

You can last much longer in the cold with some nice, smooth palm gloves. I won many a snowball fight by outlasting the other guy complaining about no feeling in his fingers. They lose precious fighting time cupping and blowing on their hands to get some feeling back. Nothing like a stationary target.

The worst wear the mittens your mom made you when you were little. Nothing like trying to throw a snowball and realizing the thing never left your hand because it was stuck. Misfire!!!

I love the plan, but. . .

Bwah ha ha!!!

The kids around here are from the Alphabet City of the past decade. As the Village wisdom goes:

* Avenue A, you're All right.
* Avenue B, you're Brave.
* Avenue C, you're Crazy.
* Avenue D, you're Dead

I live between C and D.

A: they have no money.
B: if they didn't like how a taught the class, they'd shoot me.

I have your solution: Urban Warfare Snowball!!! Get a partner and turn it into paintball or blowdart warfare in the summer.

Who was it that was at the bar 2A in Alphabet City??

(sorry this doesn't make sense to most. . .)

i loved snowball fights! i haven't been in one in years. i toss smaller snowballs for my dog, he loves to chase them, then he bites them in half and smashes them with his paws and comes running back with that "come on lets do that again" look

I agree with the original contention. I was at a pool hall with my brother the other night (he has been shooting pool ever since he was tall enough to see over the table), and he sadly admitted to me that pool was becoming a dying art. He said "yeah, kids dont play pool anymore, its all about video games."

It does seem every year kids just get fatter and lazier.

Sadly, it is not just the kids. I had to run to a couple of stores yesterday and kept getting caught behind these huge adults blocking the aisles. I at first thought they just did not know to keep to the side, but they were so large they literally took up the entire aisle.

My older son already thinks I am cruel because I refuse to buy him Xbox or put a TV in his room. His friends have this stuff. Oh yeah, he is not even 5.

i'm 25 yrs old, my parents used to shoot pool all of the time before they had kids, and they taught my brother and I how to shoot pool, and i love it, but there aren't many people my age that do not even know how. I will make it my goal to make sure my children and their friends know how

I'm not sure we fixed anything...

I know I was here during the dinosaur years... but I'm pretty sure me and my neighborhood would have kicked all your butts in a snowball fight... we spent the first hour building forts and igloos... igloos were sprayed with water to create an inpenetrable ice shield to counter "incomings" .. and we had dozens of ammunitions prepped in advance... for rapid fire execution... none of this, stop, load and fire..

but my youngest is damn good in a snowball fight... spends WAY too much time on video games... and is close to skinny...

me, on the other hand, was and still am pretty good in the art of snowball throwing... spend zero time on video games... frequent the gym with the best of them... and still overweight... :(

and I did not appreciate your pushing me out of the way at the store BinMich and then telling that bratty 4 year old terrorist to bite me in the leg while the two year old was kicking me in the other shin
