And then everything is too small. I want a grown up sized slide and a grown up sized jungle gym. And a ball pit that doesn't have used needles and diapers at the bottom!

Adult ball pit

without used needles and diapers

u/MechaRiddick Jul 14 '15

With all do respect, no drug user who shoots up in the ball pit is gonna leave their needle there. They need that shit to hit again at the next McDonald's!

u/Arnatopia Jul 14 '15

Those damned kids and their needles.

Yes, playing grounders as an adult is awesome. So much stuff we can do now that we couldn't as kids

Would actually be a cool bar idea, but drunk people + playground = getting sued.

u/Infinitell Jul 14 '15

If only my IQ was 180...

u/SilasTheVirous Jul 14 '15

very inaccurate. IQ is by far not the largest factor in success and certainly not the only factor too intelligence.

u/SapphireRyu Jul 14 '15

Very true, and I agree. It is a widely used measure though and I figured it could net a few laughs. Not meant to be serious. :)

u/SilasTheVirous Jul 14 '15

If your interested check out what EQ (Emotional Quotient) is, it's exploration has really began to question what we call intelligence. It actually correlates with success far more than IQ. and it's learn-able.

Maybe be careful about going at night. My friends and I tried that once and we got chewed out by some asshole cops.

u/MechaRiddick Jul 14 '15

Same for me, when I was only 18 (ok I did get hairy early) I was almost arrested in Texas for this exact thing. Maybe I was swinging too high!

Obstacle courses. But they're usually expensive.

u/Anon_Logic Jul 14 '15

Yes! I miss playing "Don't touch the lava!"

u/TheDedicatedDeist Jul 14 '15

Then you just look like a drug addict! Which, if you're in the USA, is worse than rape!

u/Infinitell Jul 14 '15

"You sold someone marijuana? YOU FUCKING DISGRACE! life in prison" "You raped someone? Don't do it again okay? 10 years" - The american judicial system

Please note I have no idea what time you get for rape or drugs

u/TheDedicatedDeist Jul 14 '15

A grotesque number of rapes are turned into sexual assault. These penalties change depending on the state;

For example, in California a sexual assault conviction carries with it a possible sentence of 24, 36 or 48 months in prison, as well as a possible $10,000 fine. - See more at: http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/sexual-assault-penalties-and-sentencing.html#sthash.Ew1gtpok.dpuf

Rape (f it's not turned into a sexual assault charge) has the possibility of being anywhere from zero years to life (usually a maximum of 10) depending on the circumstances. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_the_United_States#Criminal_punishment)

Weed, on the other hand, can be escalated from a possession charge, which is a misdemeanor in some states into intent to sell if you have two bags (happened to a few people I know). Some states suck more than others, but some states will put you in jail for up to 4-5 years for 10$ worth of weed, more if you happen to have it in two bags, are 1000 feet from a school and are around a minor. (state directory of marijuana laws available at http://norml.org/states)

Don't get me started on how the police actually operate in (or atleast many parts of) the USA.

u/ChubbyTrain Jul 14 '15

they call it the outdoor gym.

u/Aktve Jul 14 '15

I have never understood this, you're an adult and you want to go to the park... so go to the park. Get on the swings, take a trip down the slide. You really think some helicopter parent is going to call the police because you're enjoying yourself? I'm 26 and I go to parks often and I've literally never had a problem. InB4 step 1.

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '15

First of all many parks have signs saying anyone above 16-18 are not allowed to use the swings and slides etc. Secondly there is a big social stigma attached to it and people will give you dirty looks, parents approach you and talk to you like you are some kind of pedophile and yes people do call the police on you, albeit its rare. This has happened to a friend of mine before.

u/Aktve Jul 14 '15

Well personally I have never seen signs like that (CA) and I have also never experienced that sort of stigma. I understand it exists but I think it gets exaggerated a bit.

I live in the UK so it might be a bit different here.

u/HauntedCemetery Jul 14 '15

u/wakimaniac Jul 14 '15

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

They're called clubs.

u/colbystan Jul 14 '15

Where the fuck do clubs have swingsets?

15

u/PENGUINSflyGOOD Jul 14 '15

5

u/PanamaMoe Jul 14 '15

Well there is this one club, but you need quite a bit of leather and a pass fraise.

9

u/DontcarexX Jul 14 '15

A pass strawberry?

4

u/SapphireRyu Jul 14 '15

Something that passes for a strawberry?

1

u/MrAwesomelishis Jul 14 '15

instructions not clear. accidentally got a straw berry stuck deep inside the dogs rectum

1

u/SapphireRyu Jul 14 '15

I hear you have to be berry strong to actually get it in that far...

1

u/PanamaMoe Jul 14 '15

??? Did I spell it wrong?

2

u/DontcarexX Jul 14 '15

Yes, phrase is what you were looking for. A fraise is a baking term for strawberry

u/PanamaMoe Jul 14 '15

Ahh ok, thank you.
