I don't want to be thread stealing dude,but when I saw dodge ball I had to laugh.I'm 44 years old.When I was in the fourth grade I was the last kid alive on my team in dodgeball. I was steaming as hard as I could in the gym while trying to watch all the other kids trying to kill me.In those days gym walls didn't have padding.I hit the wall at full speed....,.A year ago I lost the permanent crown(I guess I swallowed it.)I've lost all my good old bennies.I have this terrible looking piece of a front tooth.Worse than no tooth.God,I'm embarrassed.
