Lucky for me my MIL isn't talking to us currently (since Thanksgiving). If we do good enough maybe we'll beat our record of 5 years with no contact!

I worked today so I didn’t have to work 70+ hours for the 20th week blah. Turkey is the answer
That's what whiskey and dangerous amounts of caffeine are for.
Since @JWK came in here talking shit, the Turks came in with an elbow drop from the top rope.

Curious if anyone else remembers playing floor hockey as a kid? Came up during Christmas when we talked about old things as kids and everyone looked at me like I had 2 heads.

It was a way of life for a Canadian kid growing up.
For away hockey tournaments, every kid would bring their mini stick and we would cause mayhem in the hallways at the hotels with absolutely vicious games.
Family gatherings, our parents would send us to the basement and it was game on.
The number of bloody noses I got from mini sticks was insane.
Bloody noses, rashed up knees, etc. The good ole days. I had a similar experience growing up in Michigan when I was younger.

Managed hotels for much of the single digit 00s. The bolded might be the most true statement I've ever read on this board. One of the games I had to break up was absoultely freaking epic. There was no way in hell I wanted to shut these kids down, but it was 1:30am on a Wednesday and it was a mostly business hotel. The phone system lit up like the Rockerfeller tower when they kicked off that game.
Kids had setup three nets. One on each end of the hallway one in the center. They were using four goalies. The two in the center were playing opposite sides of the net but it was like four teams on four teams and you could score on any net but your own. It was freaking hysterical but way too loud for the hour.
In Texas we played a game called slaughterball. It started out with a racketball or a tennis ball. But you throw it against a wall and everyone tries to catch it. If the ball touches you and you don't catch, you have to run and touch the wall. Everyone else is allowed to bean you with the ball until you become safe by touching the main wall. Penalties are given to hitting someone with a ball after they're "safe" or for hitting someone deliberately in the head (there is a reason for this.) Penalty shots....the guilty goes and stands facing the wall about three inches from it. The victim then gets to absolutely bean him from 20' away with a free throw.
Absolutely fun game... Until you hit highschool... And it changes to a baseball. Played it once in highschool. Once. The small of my back has never felt the same.

When I first got into playing sports around 11 or 12, my best friend who lived in a house just at the corner of my street and I would play every sport imaginable, even tennis. For hockey we played one on one with real sticks and puck on the sidewalk when it was icy enough. That was basically power forward practice but I did learn a lot of moves that way. We’d also play what amounted to floor hockey in the basement with whatever was a available, sometimes hockey sticks and a plastic puck and sometimes a weird version where we used two plastic bowling pins and the bowling ball from a kids set. We both hated to lose and he had a horrible temper so all
hell was always breaking loose. I think hockey would have been too expensive but also I was quite good at basketball so my hockey career was over the next year when I was off to the scary boarding school.

Yes but floor hockey was definitely more of a gym class thing.
Mini sticks in the basement and hotel hallways during tournaments.
ODR in the winter.
Street hockey in the summer.
we played in the house too, floors were scratched to fxxk
This is awesome! We played the exact same game growing up here in BC, but it was called “Wall Ball”. I like your guys’ name for it better lol, much more appropriate when you factor in the relentless of young guys wanting to hit each other.

Love hearing all the variations of the same stuff from different places. Makes me feel like I belong.
Gotta teach the next generation how to have fun with their imagination again.

Not Great, Bob!
Now that y'all mentioned it, when I was about a ten-year-old in Finland, we played ministicks and called it Jose Three-or-Four.
How international.
Please, let's all have our kids or future kids play outside again. It's something that's missing in way too many countries nowadays. Cheers!
