1. I can still remember at school

If there was snow, the teachers would still keep up a valiant yet futile attempt to keep us off the cricket field.

Snow + a few hundred boys = snowball fight. There's just no two ways about it.

3. I've been in two HUGE snowball fights

one was in college-a great illustration of conquering hordes. Myself and few friends took a long walk in FEET of snow. We came upon some guys we know (small college-1,000 students) and got into a snowball fight with them. It was at their dorm so as soon as it started the whole dorm spilled out and we got our a**es handed to us. The group then decided to attack the coed dorm, we won. Then we set off for the biggest dorm on campus. Two lines of about 200 people each just winging snow balls at each other. One guy tried to move forward and was literally dropped to his knees-out cold-but a snowball right between the eyes.

The other one was in the Army (STRONGLY forbidden by the DoD) waiting to load our tracks (Bradleys and M-1's) onto rail cars in Germany. One lone snowball started it all and suddenly there were 1,000 highly trained US Army personnel involved in a god awful vent of rage with no distinct battle lines and no where to hide. I am amazed that no one got knocked off their track.

4. snowball fights on the quad, oh those were fun!!

Even in Kentucky you can get good snow. We were on the Ohio river, and if conditions were just right, we would get great river effect snow

One Saturday night we got 14 inches in about 4 hours and the entire quad was like an impromptu Olympics. igloos were built, tunnels were dug, snowballs were flying through the air, great fun!!!!!!!!!1

8. U of Illinois after bars let out

About 500 drunk kids across the street from each other.

My buddy pitched (90+mph) for the baseball team and hit me in the solar plexus. It put me down for a while.

2. Well, heck...
