    Just when I thought America, Land of the Lawsuit, couldn't get any more inane… I stumbled onto this:

    And one parent's take on it:  http://www.exrx.net/Questions/Tag.html

    Y'know… I'm sorely tempted to do a Monty Bank Kids story, where Big Sister is an overprotective group prohibiting Li'l Monty and his school buddies from playing anything physically exertive… and there's a teen girl names Gracie who organizes a gang that has their midnight forbidden games league.

    "Cool, ain't it, Mont?  Come by Wednesday night, and we'll do something REALLY illegal… DODGEBALL!"  8)

    Mother of Christ, this is retarded.

    I can understand the removal of the games due to lawsuits – any other argument is nonsense. You don't hear war stories of the playground, "Listen kid, the last time I was 'it', three good men died!"

    If their banned because of lawsuits, they should say so – then list the names of people who've sued schools over tag so that society can properly shame them and the judges that ruled in their favour so they can not care as they go to sleep in their big piles of money.

    Sick.

    <gasp!> DODGEBALL???

    shhhhhhh, don't say that out loud. Meet me at the corner of 5th and Severn, wear a red carnation and carry a newspaper under your right arm. When someone comes up to you and says "Nice weather we're having huh?" answer with the phrase "I like grape jelly filled M&M's" He'll take you to the secret tag and dodgeball arena set-up in the catacombs…TELL NO ONE!!!

    ;D
