sort of a spin on dodgeball where almost everyone had a ball.
I don't remember how teams were picked but it was played in the gym(jhs,) each team would be at the baseline and all of the balls were set on the half court line, coach would blow the whistle and everyone would charge the line to try and pick up a ball, if you got hit you were out, it usually became a brutal bloodbath, all of the nerds and figs got creamed first just to make room on the court and then it got real ugly, I think the coaches loved watching that

School holiday for the 1st day of squirrel season.
3 hour football practices with no water breaks and the coach calling you every derogatory name for a homosexual in the dictionary.

We called it Kill The Man With The Football.
We called it both.
Smear the Queer just couldn’t stick as a name, not because the word queer was unacceptable, but that nobody really wanted to be referred to as a queer whenever they touched the football.
And yes, it was a game that was frowned upon by teachers at recess, but they mostly didn’t notice the difference in what they were seeing between regular football and smear the queer, what with the occasional side-ways glances they would send our way while gossiping with other teachers.

Kids riding in the back of the truck.
I’d used to ride from my grandpa’s to my house down the road sitting on the tailgate.

Legally leading with the crown of the helmet.

Have an officer follow you or bring you home because your too drunk to drive. Bars that don’t ID. Get hammered all day in a boat on the Amite or Tickfaw and no worry about getting arrested. That was truly the good ole days.

Kids riding in the back window of the car. You can’t even ride in back of a truck down the highway anymore. This is America!

Children walking to/from school or the park by themselves.
Governments building large bridge and highway infrastructure projects where they're needed in a remotely timely manner.
Parents spanking their out of control children in public.

These are the ones I thought of right away. All my guy friends went hunting right after ball practice in the fall.
Also, the guys carried a can of Skoal or Copenhagen around in their back pocket, even at school. Kinda glad this isn't common now.

Walking to school? Hell, they can't even wait for the bus outside their house alone. I see Jr. High kids with parents.
