I’m seeing advertising for an app/ exercise app for kids, family, mom, dad to put on boxing gloves and fight, for Christmas? In the same marketing strategy as peloton. For exercise. Seriously? MMA? Joe degradations Rogan and Octogan?

We used to put on boxing gloves and beat the shit out of each other in our front yards growing up.We’d have tournaments. Neighbors would place wages.Nobody thought it was strange. It was just kids playing.I SAW PEARL JAM0

We did the same thing.dankind said:We used to put on boxing gloves and beat the shit out of each other in our front yards growing up.We’d have tournaments. Neighbors would place wages.Nobody thought it was strange. It was just kids playing.
One of the neighborhood kids had a couple pairs of 16oz gloves. All the kids (the who weren’t pansies of course) would meet up after school at someone’s house and beat the shit out of each other. Round robins, last man standing, and grudge matches. Those would often just end up being straight up fist fights.
Growing up tin a small, rural town in a neighborhood with a lot of boys, no one thought twice about. Hell, some of the parents encouraged it. Wouldn’t fly today. Different times.

me and my friends were big into WWF as kids. we'd hold wrestling cards on our front lawns. we learned pretty quickly why the ring seemed so bouncy. a suplex on the bare earth hurts like a bitch, even as a kid.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0

Growing up tin a small, rural town in a neighborhood with a lot of boys, no one thought twice about. Hell, some of the parents encouraged it. Wouldn’t fly today. Different times.Grew up in a rural town as well and we did punch each other around, although never with mini-boxing matches or gloves.Would have been interesting. As one of the smaller kids this would have surely been painful to me, but I was always one of the first kids to toe the line when there was some idiotic contest of toughness. Sure I would have taken some beatings from the older kids. Our next door neighbor beat my ass a few times a year without this. Eh. Part of being a hammerhead of a young man. If I didn't fight him back I am sure he would have done it every week.(I was glad when that jackass moved, though -- he was three years older and far bigger, and was a bully in the traditional sense of the word, not the modern kind who picks on people. Would not have wanted to fight him a few times a year when he was 17 and I was 14. It was getting out of control.)The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
Did you grow up with my husband, F Me? He too was a scrawny kid. In his Ohio suburban neighborhood there was a big (literally) bully who had his physical takes at many kids including my younger husband. One day the asshole was doing his thing, and my guy just turned around and punched the FUCK out of him.
Never touched him again, especially when everyone laughed

Never touched him again, especially when everyone laughedI think that was just rural America at that time. I punched Dennis a number of times, but there was not much I did but earn his respect. A little blood wasn't going to back this dude down - he took beatings from kids at the high school and kept at them too.Was not quite Corey Feldman from Stand By Me but his dad was a drunk who beat him harder than any kid was likely to. I did hang out with him at times, but was always wary of when it came to be my turn to face his wrath.Oh well!The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
Boxing gloves? Wooses! My sibling and I never wore boxing gloves!

Just a matter of time when some husband gets whooped by his wife in front of the kids or a brother gets whooped by his sister when the parents aren’t home that they go for the gun on the nightstand and salve their wounded pride. ‘Murica.
Anyone play cigarettes? Where, usually an older kid would pin you down by sitting on your stomach, your arms pinned by their knees and they rap on your chest with a pointy knuckle until you could name 10-15-20 different brands of cigarettes. I was up to 30 or so before I figured I had to outrun them.
I also was held by my legs and forced to walk on my hands until my arms gave out and I face planted. This was particularly a challenge when there were mud puddles about. That stuff was fine but if we ever squared up to fist fight or fight for real, all the parents came out of their houses and everyone got grounded. Fighting was only for serious breaches like stealing, stepping in on someone’s girl or offending or picking on their sister.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

I like your style. I’d be down for duct tape and crushed glass. Now will this throw down occur in a ring of fire, a large pit in the ground, steel cage, or a trailer park in the Florida panhandle?dankind said:

Maybe because the Vietnam War had been raging and some kids from the neighborhood didn’t come back and some that did weren’t right after they returned. Or maybe because my parents were members of SDS, were anti-war protest organizers and had FBI files?F Me In The Brain said:
