Do the kids get candy if they beat you?

anyone else picturing these 5 year olds as robot/gremlin/doppelganger style 5 year olds to make this a little easier to think about?

- There is no protective padding for any combatant other than the standard-issue cup.

does this mean everyone is naked except for the cup? because bare naked flesh v. flesh covered with a pair of jeans is a HUGE difference.

i vote that you can wear normal "street" clothes, in normal layers (ie, only one pair of jeans). having everyone nude except for a cup is WAY too NAMBLA. (note that the nude part disturbs me, but i am unphased by the wanton destruction of 5 year-olds

I'm picturing a pack of little brainwashed killers just out of a pol pot re-education camp.

The best and the brightest five year olds are pretty dumb. Their lack of attention spans don't allow them to be too organized. These kids are five, do you remember what you were like when you were five?

The obvious weapon of choice is the knuckle duster. One with spikes on etc. This will be useless in the hands of the infantile horde.

My real problem is bellieving that the kids would keep attacking me. Once I had picked out the toughest kid, lifted him over my head whilst bellowing in rage then piledriven the kid headfirst into the concrete I cant see the other 5yr olds doing anything other than breaking down in tears and wimpering.

The solution to this problem is obvious. We must have a time
machine. We can then trek through time looking for truely hard 5 years old, not the current crop of soft as shite western five year olds. I would stop of in Sparta.
Spartan 5 yr olds must the hardest 5yr olds in human history, but more importantly there entire culture would have socialised them into wanting to fight on and on and never surrender like wusses.

So in short this scenario is only realistic and feasible with access to a time machine.

Spoken like some who's never tried to organize a pack of five year-olds.

I have video tape of me yelling at Forrest Gregg, Green Bay head coach, for not running the ball in a 3rd and short situation. As far as he tape shows, there was no prompting from my parents or anyone else for this outburst. However, it was filmed a month before my 6th b-day, and I was one of those special, advanced kids.

The 5yos I coached on the soccer field are smart enough to hold positions (with verbal coaching from the sidelines).
