In Gym or at the playground were you the last one picked?

[Beachguyj]

discuss or answer anonymous poll.

I should have made it:

Yes, or usually close to last.

No, or not mostly not.

So answer that way.

I was usually in the middle of the group. I do remember being picked last twice in my life. Once for kickball when I was in fourth grade, and once for baseball in gym when I was in high school. My first at-bat during the baseball game, I hit a three-run home run - the only home run I've EVER hit in my life. And it was then that I understood the "the best revenge is a life well-lived" thing.

Yes. XD Almost every time. But it's alright, I hated sports anyway. They could go fuck themselves.

 

[backpacker]

It depends on the sport. If it was football, I was usually a first round pick as I was a pretty good quarterback and receiver. Basketball I was usually picked in the second round as I'm tall and a decent shot. Baseball, last as everyone knew I couldn't stand the game. I was too ADD to pay attention and made lots of errors. In other sports I was usually picked somewhere in the middle.

 

[sixthson]

No, I was fast and a good baseball and soccer player. Dodgeball was not so fun, however. It was easy to knock me over.

 

[hotdog1846]

I was always first picked.

Until 4th grade. Then I was always, always, always last.

The summer before 4th grade, I did something to my back jumping on a trampoline, and I was never the same after that. Found out years later (when everything fell apart) I'd broken a vertebra, and it caused nerve damage. It didn't keep me from skiing up until my late 20s, though (hence my username).

Skiing the bumps ... Pretty damn good for a guy with a broken back. I have no resentments.

 

[anchihiro]

No, i was never picked last.

I always was chosen last, except one time in my last year of high school... For my gym class we were assigned to baseball for our last trimester... and since I have a lot of difficulty to evaluate distance my teacher decided to send me in another class who were having volleyball (a volley ball has less consequence then a baseball, if you catch my drift) and when it was time to make the team (that were to last till the end of semester) one of the team captain chose me, the fisrt in his team and the second overall. This day was one of the best of my life and I never had been better in phys.ed.

 

[freefall]

Almost always...between chosen second last or last. Usually second last. Doesn't bring any differences...the only sport I'm modestly good at is volley and unfortunately I usually use too much power even to send the ball to Pluto

 

[Knucklehead]

Like Backpacker said,and I'll agree,for me, it depended on the sport..Some I sucked at,others I wasn't too bad at..

Football, forget it..I'm not getting the shit knocked out of me by some animal 3 times my size for some fucking ball.Nobody wanted me,and I wouldn't play even if they did..

Baseball,stickball I was a pretty good hitter and could run fast.My favorite game as a kid was Ringolario or Ringolevio.(it was called both in my neighborhood.) I was brutal and I usually got snatched up in the first few picks.Mostly though, I could take or leave sports and prefered to get high at P.T.

For you country bumpkins that never heard of Ringolario...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringolevio

 

[Lube]

Yup.

In high school I took tennis and dancing as gym credits!

 

[Beachguyj]

Yup.

In high school I took tennis and dancing as gym credits!

I took square dancing one semester in HS for gym, I was the only guy in the class, it was fun.

 

[BINOWGAYLATER]

lemmie see....

short
fat
four eyes

with the "You throw like a girl" rep.....

um.....YES - last or next to last ALWAYS.

then in High school i joined the swim team - got skinny - and wore tight speedo's -- fuck'em if they can't take a joke.

I got to date the "hot chicks" that all those fuckers were afraid to ask out.

and the Polish one was a great kisser !!

 

[talesofabyssjade]

Depended on the sport, they knew what I sucked at lol, but if it involved kicking, or busting balls (tennis, baseball, etc.) no.

 

[Esquire0399]

Nope, I've always been generally athletic and pretty good at most sports. Do I suck miserably at basketball? Of course. Did that make a difference? No.

 

[Paws]

Next to last

 

[Corny]

Only for soccer

 

[Steiner]

Yea, usually. I wasn't very good at sports so it wasn't surprising.

 

[3nipples]

I'm athletic, so I was always picked at the beginning.

 

[asu1117]

No, I really like sports and have always been pretty athletic.
