Wow ,just watched one of Our local News Channels here in Victoria,.and one of the story's they were covering was a local school playing 'Dodge Ball'..........Now that brought me back to the grade school days & into the early years of High School ,.where we Played games like Dodge Ball ( Murder Ball) sort of a Double temaed Dodge Ball Game,............but that was fun stuff,...& We tried to seriously hurt the other guy,with as hard a shot as you could muster,.Remember if it hit them they were out,...if you caught the ball fired at you ,you could quickly Fire it back,.with every intent to not just knowck them out of the game ,but if you could whack them Good..............hahahahahah
No one that I can recall, ever got hurt,..& what a good game ,..You always felt good after one of those games:
What other favourite games do you recall ( British Bulldogs,maybe in the snow covered park on Brown near VCCH) ? or wherever...........Just fun stuff,..... How about Broomball ,& getting a Frozen Pebble Skin Ball off the kisser ,.That 'Stings a bit'.......hahahahahah
Tonight's newscast showed part of a DodgeBall Game being played,...and it sure brought back memories,.as I've never even heard mention of this game since I was a kid............

Les there's a funny DVD out about Dodgeball. In grade school:how about base ball played using the curb in front of the doorways in the school yard The best game at recess at St.Thomas Moore School(boys side) was going to the candy store next to the lane next to the school yard and not and not getting caught by the Vice Principal Doyle.

What was this game called? One or more guys would support themselves against the school wall, and the rest of us would jump on their backs. The idea was I think, to see how many guys could be supported. Usually the end result being a pile of bodies flattened on the ground. Good fun.
