Oh, the
good ol'
schoolyard! Red
Ass is an
outdoor game that involves a
tennis ball (or better yet, an
India rubber ball), a
brick wall (the less
windows, the better, but any sized hard, vertical
surface will usually do), and two or more
kids (usually
boys and
tomboys).
Gameplay:
One kid
throws the ball at the
wall, and the other kids try to catch it. If a kid
fumbles the ball, they have to
run and
touch the wall before another kid can
hit the wall with the dropped
ball. If the kid makes it to the wall in
time, they're
fine. But if they don't make it there in time, they collect a
letter (
R first, then
E, then
D, all the way to the second
S in ass). Now, if a kid is
daft enough to stay and
collect all
six letters,
spelling "RED ASS"
completely, before
recess or
lunch hour is over then they have to stand
up against the wall while the other kids get 1 turn each to pelt the kid's ass as
hard as they can with the ball from a preset "fair" distance away. At this point the kid hopefully had a
red ass, hence the
name of the game.
Well, I had a
damn loada fun playing that game. And even kids who actually got their asses
pelted liked that game. And it was completely
acceptable violence.
Well, nobody ever told us not to do it.
A red ass is also what you have after you get a
spanking.
A spanking!? Now that's unacceptable behaviour!
