Spread Eagle was played in Alief in the 80s before school, at recess or after school with multiple racquetballs, sometimes with 30-40 players and 3 to 5 racquetballs. It was very intense, very organized and regulated to uphold the integrity of the game. The basic point of the game was to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women when they had to go to the nurse's office. If you didn't catch the ball clean you had to run to touch the wall as whoever had the racquetballs would hurl them at you until you touched said wall. If you didn't know already, racquetballs hurt way more (probably 3x) and also came off the wall way faster than the tennis balls so they were much harder to catch. And the X factor was using multiple balls because you may not see one coming and someone extremely close to you might have one, and if you booted one you were going to pay dearly. There was little to no teacher supervision other than in middle school the occasional coach would watch to see who was athletic. Other rules/ tidbits: - if you booted the ball and tried to prevent people from grabbing it to drill you or it hit off of you more than once (a 'Double Touch' in Spread Eagle parlance) you , you had to Spread (stand up against the wall in the frisking position) while another player hurls the ball at you - if someone booted a ball that hadn't hit the ground yet, if another player caught it the first kid was saved from having to run...but often the other players could just let it bounce once and be in a position to have any easy shot at the first toucher - If you had a noodle arm and bounced the ball before it hit the wall you were spreading - if someone with a noodle arm was throwing from relatively far away, other players would stand in front of the wall and if they caught it before it hits the wall- you guessed it- they were spreading. - When kids stood in front of the wall to do the above, other players would try to carrom another ball off the wall to hit those kids - if you moved up after catching the ball to prevent your throw from bouncing you were spreading. Most kids were either good at both fielding and throwing, or sucked at both so the danger of standing close enough to where your throw didn't bounce you were far more likely to boot a catch due to the speed of the ball and get pummeled trying to get to the wall - if you moved while spreading, the thrower got another throw whether the first throw hit you or not - if you got caught holding on to a ball too long in hopes of drilling someone else nearby when they booted one, you were spreading - particularly egregious offenses, as voted by mob rule, could result in spreading for multiple throws. - if an offended party had a turn to throw at a spreader and they didn't have a good arm, a better thrower could step in to throw in his place As far as the other game...of course we called it STQ...Boone Elementary banned footballs being brought from home so we would gather up all the aluminum foil that we all brought our Cokes wrapped in and made a foil football and the carnage would continue

Every chihuahua I've ever encountered hates the absolute living fuck out of every human being except the ones they live with. And not always even liked all of those. So I'll pass. But Clark has the solution to that problem as posted above -
You are correct, I was misinformed. Dave was a regular there but that's it. My bad

I'm surprised it can be that close to the wall -

"Needs to" is negated by the psychological fact that he's "incapable of it".
