SwimModSponges Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Its just sand in a box. Yay sand. I could throw a few boards together around a patch of grass, now I've got a grass box. It would probably be more fun. Heck, the whole playground is a giant wood-chip box with all the other stuff inside it.
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Sand is inherently fun. That's why people go to the beach. This reminds me of King of the Hill, which I was just thinking about yesterday... "I love the Frozen Cow! 'Oh we make ice cream fun, we make ice cream fun...'" "Dammit Dale, ice cream was already fun!" Just like sand. Sand is already fun.

SwimModSponges Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 Sand is not fun, it's coarse and gritty and it gets into everything.

Sand isn't fun when you're a grown-up and you have to clean it. Kids don't have to clean up sand. They just get to play in it, and then track a bunch of it home in various orifices for YOU to clean up, old man! 1
SwimModSponges Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 Stepping on sand is painful; I can't be alone in thinking that.
SwimModSponges Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 Reminds me of a quote from an old GI-Joe PSA parody: "You can kick sand, old man."

Because fuck gravel. Sand is great to step on. Or step in, as it were. Especially when it's warm, almost too hot but still okay, and you just sink your lil tootsies in... It's awesome. Almost awesome enough for me to go to the beach. But fuck sharks. Thankfully the local water park has a sandy area.

Sponges has mentioned before that a car hit him and it affected his memory. I am thinking it wiped out all of his memories of childhood joy.

SwimModSponges Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 Sand is painful- when you're walking on the beach, it's uneven and often, raised parts will causes differences in pressure on your feet.

Dude, WALKING in the sand isn't considered fun. PLAYING in the sand is different. And you wouldn't be walking in the sandbox for fun either. God damn you would be turning around every split second.
Vamped Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Sand is pretty fun and engaging for kids. Play Therapists usually have sandboxes in their playroom for kids to play with during their sessions.

Throw in some army soldiers or construction vehicle toys, etc. and, unless the kids have been sucked dry of any imagination, fun will ensue.
SwimModSponges Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 Grass is better, they're going through a jungle.
Skiles Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 It's really interesting to me that you made this thread today, when my sister brought over materials for a makeshift sandbox for my nephew, literally today. I didn't piece that together until just now. Stop hanging out in my bushes, Sponges. My life is not fodder for your damn threads! 1

Swimmod_Luna Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere

SwimModSponges Posted May 8, 2019 Author Posted May 8, 2019 why would you want you garden or planter to have grass in it? its going to steal the water and nutrients from the good plants.
