Any one here ever played Croquet With a Golf Club and Golf Ball or some other cheap improvised equipment? Esp growing up?

Since croquet equipment is so expensive? Kids play outside in the parking lot all the time in my apartment a bunch of different game from touch jousting with plastic toy spears while riding on bicycles to using hockey sticks on a skateboard or some other riding vehicle with tennis balls to play polo with trash cans.

Has anyone attempted to play improvised croquet with say a hockey stick or using a lacrosse ball and using homeshift materials for the hoops, pegs, etc when they were growing up and lacked access to real equipment because they were below upper middle class thus lacking the cash?

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

[SF] Double Partner Dance-Off (OC)

She couldn’t bring herself to believe what had appeared before her eyes as her ship floated freely in a lazy post vector jump stun. Three planets, different in size and rotation but identical in color and clime, hung in perfect balance together as they rocketed around their strange yellow star. They were all massive red-hued affairs, two big ones sandwiching a diminutive-by-comparison third between their hulking masses as they traveled their compact solar system.

How did that work? That shouldn’t work. As far as Lyet knew, planets shouldn’t do that; flying through the Big Empty in perfect formation like old Goose and Gander walking Gosling back home from the pond. How did that work?

Lyet shoved the questions and thoughts of geese-related children’s stories to the back of her mind, she had work to do and essentially no time to do it.

β€˜C’min Chief, we have connection?’

Static

β€˜Chief! I’m on-site!’

Copy

More Static

Proceed

β€˜Copy Chief.’

Lyet slung around in her pilot’s chair, reaching over backward to get at an object she had tossed behind the seat earlier. She really should get better about cleaning up her ship, the thing was filthy and she spent more than a couple minutes grasping blindly and fruitlessly before she gave an exasperated sigh, unclipped the harness holding her in, and disconnected the tubes plugged into the femoral arteries in her thighs. She gasped slightly as the long, oddly flexible needle pulled from her flesh, leaving only the smallest of red spots on her legs where they had intruded deeply into her circulatory system.

Need to clean my ship, she thought, more like need to design pants you can keep on when jumping vectors. She stood up, only slightly unsteady, and pulled her aged brown leather pilots pants back up to her hips, sinching the sand-colored belt back through double ring buckle and pulling it tightly as she moved behind her chair.

β€˜Where the hell did I put it?’

She started kicking things around. She always started kicking things around when she got irritated, especially if it was her fault that she was in a particular situation and double-especially if she had literally JUST had the damned thing a minute earlier!

Her eyes bulged. β€˜Where the actual FU.. Oh! There you are!’

She grinned merrily as she picked up the object of her desire, not from the floor, but from the cup holder of the console next to her pilot’s chair. She had secured it there before making the jump to this strange place to avoid this exact sc

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
