Ditto. And the Perfect Plex, until my brother and I broke a table and I got the beating.

I was the youngest sibling in my family. I definitely sympathize with this kid. I'm still disappointed that by the time I got about 60 pounds on my older brother, he had already moved away. One of these days when he's least expecting it...

Nothing compares to "Half court basketball to the face", however this comes close. Think Back to the Future Part 2 to Part 1. Sorry for that Sports Guy moment.

I didn't have an older brother, but this older neighborhood kid did convince me to put on a football helmet so he could fire a slingshot (a real one, not some Davy Crockett shit) at it. I chickened out at the last second and after a lot of arguing we agreed to do a dry run with the helmet empty. The slingshot bullet blew out the back of the helmet, caromed into the bathroom and destroyed every piece of glass in there.

Moral: If told to wear the crash helmet, get Mom then. Don't wait for "Run."

My step brother and I would put one soccer sock into another soccer sock and have my little brother run between us as we tried to wrap the sock around his legs and watch him fall to the ground. Then when he would start crying we would ask him if he was tough like Mike Tyson and he would say yes and keep playing the game. Little brothers are a gift from God.

I didn't torture my little brother, which was a good thing, since he was only three years younger than me and grew up to be an all-state wrestler who would have destroyed me if given means, motive and opportunity.

I used to employ more psychological torture on my little brother. When he was 3-4 and I was 6 or 7, we were playing Veterinarian with our stuffed animals and I pretend that his favorite stuffed Bunny crashed and flatlined (I even did sound effects), then I put Bunny in a shoebox and buried it in the backyard. My brother was so upset. I got grounded.

Liz, Eli may look like a mongoloid and may not be able to complete a pass to a wide open receiver, but the kid can certainly take a hit. if you don't believe me, watch game tape from every game he played in from 2004, and last week's game against Carolina.

I didn't do bad things to my little brother (he's disabled), but my cousins? Three brothers - I'd hold the middle one in the air by his ankles and let the other two practice flying drop-kicks.
