dodgeball

Dodgeball (or dodge ball) is the name of a traditional elementary school game, taught in high school education classes, but also popular in informal settings, often played by schoolchildren on a playground. There are many variations of the game, but all involve some players trying to avoid being hit by a ball, that other players are throwing at them.

Players are usually split into teams, though sometimes play individually. A number (although sometimes only one) of medium-sized rubber balls (the same sort used in four square) are placed in a central location. The objective of each player is to hit an opponent so as to eliminate him or her from the game. The game ends when one player (or team) remains.

In some variants, catching the ball enacts a reversal; if the target catches (rather than dodges) the ball, the thrower is eliminated. In other variations a catch (in addition to eliminating the thrower) also allows another player from the catching team to re-enter. In other variants which don't allow catching, handling the ball counts as a hit, while punching or handling the ball with a closed fist does not. In all versions, a player who steps from his square to the enemy team's square is also eliminated.

One rule variant specifies that players who are hit, instead of stepping off the court, sit down where they are hit. If any of these players should later catch a ball thrown by the opposing team, the opposing thrower is out (and must sit down) and the player who caught the ball is back in.

Let's go play dodgeball and lay a stinger on some of these geeks.

Dodged a Bullet

When you invite a girl swimming at your family house over the weekend but realize from her Twitter during the week that she is batshit crazy and you haven't yet sent her the address, you've dodged a bullet.

It appears she isn't as bright as I thought she was. Guess I dodged a bullet there.

dodge owner

Hill billy inbred retard that lacks basic knowledge of physics and anything else that can't be sold at the Walmart. Tends to be close minded rednecks with a below average IQ. Most fall just over the line of mental retardation, but as long as they can turn up the injection pump on their 12 valves and roll coal through their trailer parks on the way home; they get a long fine. If you were to ever piss one off by slandering the cheaply produced automobiles from dodge, I suggest you run a zig zag line. They cannot comprehend the rapid change in direction ensuring a safe getaway.

Once I get off this short bus and learn to drive; I will be a dodge owner!
