Reminds me of grade school. Some of those 6th graders were beasts.

My elementary school always had a "Jungle Gym" (a bit smaller than the above), but added a set of "Monkey Bars" later on. Kids would train themselves to have "chicken fights" on the monkey bars. One would hang from the ladder portion of the bars and "engage" your opponents with legs, not arms. I remember getting a lecture from our 5th grade teacher re: the evils of Chicken Fights, but there was also a bit of confusion.

Apparently, the principal had lectured all the teachers and advised them to repeat the lecture to us students, but she mistook "Chicken Fights" with the old Bill Cosby game, "Buck Buck" (that same 5th grade teacher actually played that album/routine in class for us a few weeks prior) and he warned us never to play Buck Buck ("Johnny on the Pony" in NYC) on school property! I guess you could use either the jungle gym or the monkey bars as the base for the "horse" to line up. They didn't want that.
