Um... no... but one time our camp had Pirates vs. Knights, and we got to see a pirate and a knight duke it out in the middle of the swimming pool with swords, and one of them fall into the water and NOT COME BACK UP.

('twas the knight, silly! pirates always win! unless they're fighting ninjas. ninjas pwn pirates.)

Then, at lunchtime, the guys proceeded to have a medieval battle with swords and axes infront of the school.


Were they called Living History?

Where do you live, man? 'Cause they went to my school. :eek:

You live in Australia?

Yes.
The whole Medieval thing sounds lame. A group of medieval people came to my primary school. It was stupid. Could have been those who came to your school. Dunno. Doesn't compare to the Medieval Fair in brisbane. That is a fun thing. Here is something cool about our school! We have two Harry Potter look-a-likes.

^ I agree.

We get excited when our head of year tells us we can actually use our bins for litter! ...Seriously. (We were only previously allowed to use it for paper, ironically.)

Well, actually.. We all dressed like Disney characters for charity... once.. and.. umm..

... yeah.. that's it.

I think you need to redo your sentence. ;)

My school's never done anything particularly cool. Agreed with BTG.

Oh, well in that case.
I live in Victoria anyways, in Northcote, Melbourne. They might travel the country, I don't really know. They come every year though.

Well, Gym class does awesome stuff...like we can choose what we want to do. And with the new teacher, we've done stuff we've never done beofre. Like throwing horseshoes or running an obstacle course. And we have our own currency type thing in there.

And one time they brought a radio into the cafeteria. We got the entire cafeteria to do the wave along with us.

I go to a county-wide magnet school so things can be pretty awesome.
Theater's really good here, there's an anime club but I think a lot more people follow the stuff independently (including myself) and there's a pretty big otaku population that attends cons and whatnot.

Our battlebots team is good... what else... oh, the senior lounge always has videogames going in it, there's crazy stuff in the hallways all the time, a lot of cool stuff, and not all of it uber-geeky.

We never got to play dodgeball. It's sad because we had some really awesome players. They were afraid someone would get hurt or lose and feel bad or some other crap.

I'm going with the guess that you all would just team up against the weak kid with glasses. It's a tradition at our school.

No, we usually saved the "weak kid with glasses" on the other team for the "weak kid with glasses" on our team.

We usually went after the best players because, even though it was a team sport, we viewed it an individual competition. "He got you out, but not me!! I'm better than you!!"

I liked dodgeball because I was usually first or second pick nearly everytime we played. I had mad skills, yo. I was a master of throwing the ball high enough so that they couldn't jump over it, but low enough so that it would usually go through their hands when they tried to catch it (or at least make them unable to see the other ball someone else on my team was throwing at them). That was in elementary school.

In high school, we never got to play.

You know what I hate about dodgeball at our school? We always play with prisoners, so people are always trying to throw the ball to their friends in prison so they can get back in, instead of actually playing the game. Nobody ever tries to hit you. No action whatsoever.

dodgeball is completely voluntary at my school, when it's played it's tournament style for either field day or recently there was a student organized one, with the same rules as the dodgeball movie.

in our ap biology class our teacher asked who wears contacts or glasses and everyone except for one guy raised their hand. it was very amusing.

no one cares about gym. i just remember there was project adventure and i was always the first to volunteer for stuff because i liked to climb things, which was a big part of project adventure.

:eek: My schools in love with it. You can take gym all the way through. Theres also Co-ed Outdoor Ed, and even a Hockey class. We have every team you could think of almost. Weightlifting club and all the intermurals. Im surrounded my gym all day long.

I personally am taking outdoor ed all the way through. 300 dollar course here I come.

I generally got picked in the middlng zone for sports, because even though I'm no hotshot, I at least put in a pretty good effort, unlike other folks who just stand in the field. And I'm good at getting underfoot and checking, so I'm good on defense.

However, for Basketball/Trivia Review in Science one year, I was always the first picked. I don't know whether to be flattered or bothered that I'm the only one who ever read the chapters. XP

I goes to geek school, which kind of pwns on it's own. No idiots, at all. None. The biggest club is the Science Fiction and Fantasy society, of which I am a prominent member. We have an anime club too, which is part of sci fi this year only (there was some ancient schism) because of myriad difficulties.

No Idiots!!!!! At all?!?!?!?? In your school???? If you don't mind me asking WHERE the crapo is this magnificent school?

My school has more clubs then you can imagine. They meet last period on Wednesdays and Fridays. Here are some examples: Ultimate Frisbee Club, DDR club, a club for watching Simpsons, a Star Wars club, Hacky Sack club, and we used to have a fencing club too. Those are a small fraction of the clubs we have.

My school has absolutely nothing cool. The dances aren't even fun. We're forced to eat terrible stale food and drink brownish water and listen to "My Humps" over and over again. But if you want another's opinion, ask Myrrh. Although she'd probably agree that our school is uncool because it is.

Well, we aren't FORCED to eat and drink the crappy food. We aren't forced to hear the music, either. We can always just go in the gym and dance to ringtones.
