The Men Getting Hit in the Nards Remembrance Thread

[The Batlord]

When was the last time you got clocked in the cubes? What was the worst? What was the most memorable? Share your experiences so that we can heal as a gender.

One of my most memorable was in military school when one of the cadets started randomly hitting people in the balls with a Slim Jim. It doesn't sound like much but let me tell you a Slim Jim was secretly designed by Hitler to leave you gasping in pain. I think I was standing in line for something or other when I got my baptism in fire. I did not recover for a good minute.

And also at military school upon arrival the first year we were all considered "rats", which is a second-class citizen status with certain restrictions that are only lifted once we graduate from rats to "old men" and became full-fledged cadets. One of the prerequisites for graduating was memorizing 15 "rat rules" and being able to recite them to an "old man" with rank. But there was a secret, 16th rat rule. A rat rule that you only learned of when an "old man" asked you to recite the 16th rat rule and you were like, "Huh?", and they responded, "Always protect your nuts!", and then hit you in the balls. We remembered that ****ing rule.

A high velocity snow ball that was more of a compacted ice ball, really. Other than that, nothing major.

Dunno when the last one was but a bad one was when I cycled into a railing when I was about 9 or 10. Came forward off the seat at a decent speed and into the frame of the bike and my balls took the full force. I remember it burning.

Was in front of a pub car park full of people. Cycled off quickly as if nothing happened.

I landed on the middle of my bike as a kid and had to get surgery because it caused damage to my "parts". So yeah.

^ Fluff is British, though. Good for him!

(I also remember that "waves of nausea" feeling, though so long ago I've forgotten the circs. Interesting that most of these annecdotes date back to childhood: I guess we all learn to look after our valuables pretty early in life!

Don't say that! Makes me grimace just thinking about it!
