What teenager do you know that doesn't deserve a cockpunch?

The kid in the article kind of made me want to punch him in the balls.

The schools should get busy suspending.
But here's what I'm not comprehending:
As teens? Well, so be it.
But GRADE schoolers see it?
They're not even finished descending!

I would like to propose a three step solution.
1) Invest in a cup
2) Get tapped
3) Issue beat down

No. This is bad. Don't do this.

You are right there! "Ball tap" me once and I'm coming after your ass with a ball bat.

You know the best defense against ball tapping?

A "tap" is bad enough. These kids are committing felonious assault.

Correct, and my beat down involves a pool cue wrapped in a bandana, like the pool hall scene in Out for Justice.

The Indy news channels have been bombarding us with this crap for weeks with storylines like, "Do you know what is happening to your children at school that can scar them physically and emotionally for life? Won't somebody think of the children?!?" Come on? Really?

They also act like this is a new phenomenon. Guys were pulling this shiat in the mid-to-late 90s when I was in middle school and high school.

I think one can safely assume that people have kicking each other in the junk since the dawn of man.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go do some jenkem before I head to a rainbow party.

Yeah, this isn't normal...even Canadians aren't this savage, normally. Winter is coming, time to get the whiskey, and for our aboriginal friends, the finest mouthwash, if you please.

Time to hibernate.

Am I the only one who thinks this reads like an "Onion" article?

"Mary Conway says teachers, principals and school nurses must be more aware of ball tapping, too."

I find that sentence hilarious. Then again, I may have a juvenile mentality.

Tapping is a bit misleading. Ball smashing.

Like happy slapping to the nth power.

we used to play nut tap in high school. it involved 2 dudes standing far away from each other. you would take turns throwing a tennis ball at the other guys nuts. if nobody got hit, you would take a step closer. losing this game sucked. winning this game still left you with welts on your stomach and thighs.

not sure why this seemed fun at 17.

 
AndreMA 2009-11-25 12:44:56 PM  
The easy way to deal with this is to suspend those doing it for "public homosexual behavior" and publish such notice in the school paper -- this class of moron is the same as the class that's deathly afraid of teh ghey.

 
the money is in the banana stand 2009-11-25 12:44:59 PM  
Because the best way to get kids from stopping kicking others in the balls is to come out with surveys, news articles, seminars, and handouts and really draw attention to a situation right? Of course kids hit each other in the balls. You aren't going to stop that from happening and any serious attempts or referring to it as ball tapping is only going to make the situation much much much worse.

 
FunkOut [TotalFark] 2009-11-25 12:45:04 PM  
The kid spent so many years getting hit in the balls, sometimes 4 times a day, and ended up having to get surgery to remove scar tissue that blocked his urinary tract?

I guess it's all fun and games until someone needs surgery on their genitals.

This.

I guess trend this signals a new crop of Sarah Palin voters.

 
JohnnyC 2009-11-25 12:45:17 PM  
If that was going on around me, I would buy a cup and install some sharp metal spikes on the outside of it. Anyone trying to "ball tap" me would end up with some holes in the top of their foot. :)

 
Kreigenstein 2009-11-25 12:45:37 PM  
Yeah, so? This along with throat chops, and whacks on the head from upperclassman (knowledge knocks) was part of the daily routine.

THIS THIS THIS.

In HS, it was either ball tapping or goat.

/Didn't get involved in balls shenanigans.

We called it "bag tag", "bag tagging" in my school.

\Also, when "Haul-a-wein day" came up, you did not want to be wearing baggy pants.

Nothing but a bunch of repressed curious homos running around looking for a reason to touch some other dudes balls.

Pantsing was a classic in my high school. You simply pull someones pants down when they aren't expecting it. I got one of my friends in gym class right in front of all the girls. It was hilarious. The bastard got me back and almost got my underwear too. Gym shorts with draw string saw a nice profit margin after that.

Doorknob was fun for a while. Basicaly, if someone farted you yelled doorknob and everyone got to punch that person until they touched a doorknob. The game ended because jerks started getting creative and started yelling things like "gold doorknob" knowing full well that our school didn't have any gold doorknobs(for the record gold doorknob was probably a reference to the brass doorknobs but high school kids aren't that bright).

Wet willys-classic
lick finger
stick finger in unsuspecting persons ear

spitballs
chew up a bunch of paper into a ball
place ball of wet paper into a straw
aim and shoot

sticky hands
you get them out of the vending machines then you slap girls in the head with them

big giant rubber band - this one was awesome. every now and then someone would bring in a giant rubber band. You could then booby trap aisles in the classroom or school bus. good fun

This is as bad as the week after they taught the grab-twist-pull self defense technique in the girls' sex ed class in middle school.

Try early 80's when I was in middle school. I suspect it's been going on earlier than that.

So guys who went to military school have scarred urethras and probably won't pee properly by the time they are 40. Enjoy your erectile dysfunction, military men!
