impossible sit-up 
   The impossible sit-up(often called the olympic sit-up) is completed by asking an individual to lie on the ground in standard, bent-knee sit-up position while one accomplice blind folds or holds a towel or similar item over the eyes and holds the individual's head to the ground. the second accomplice gets into a squatting position with ass bare. the victim is signalled to attempt to sit-up against the pressure applied by the towel to the head. the towel holder simply releases the towel which allows the victim to sit up with nose directly into accomplice two's ass crack. a fart may be added as a bonus. the name "impossible" is intended to entice an overconfident victim into attempting this athletic feat. occasionally, idiotic victims might not even require the blind fold and will simply close their eyes. technique may be modified depending on intelligence level or sobriety of victim.

That sounds horrible on so many different levels. Seriously.

   I don't approve.  Perhaps I have merely outgrown cruelty for the sake of "being funny," which normally, it isn't funny to the person that is being victimized.

I remember that in my sparring classes, one of the hardest things for me to do was "pull punches" because it went against what I was capable of, but over time, I found that I was more at ease with lifting up someone than by tearing them down.  (In most cases, it was not evenly matched, and I was hoping to help someone else improve by letting them practice on me.)  It takes a much stronger man to fight against the humiliation of others than to join in.  Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

First off, it's called the Atomic Sit-Up. If you call it the "Impossible Sit-Up", you're an idiot, a curse be on your brow. It's also not to be done so close their face touches your butt, it's design is for them to open their eyes and be mooned, leaving at least a foot between their face and your butt. The butt-touching is not funny in the least and reaches a level of homo-eroticism, that I question the people doing it. This is also something that should only be done with good friends. Not a foreign exchange student. Thanks for showing him America.

Secondly, Joe is right.

[Tyler Summers]

Hey. I wasn't the one who did it it was the other guys. The post was just ment to be funny. I'm sorry it caused so much conflict.

[Ashley McC]

Joe is right.

But you joined in right? Or were you watching (which still counts as joining in in my book)? By just doing that it's still horrible. You still took part in something that's not only disgusting but cruel. I'm sure that foreign exchange student didn't appreciate that, and I hope he doesn't think all Americans are that way.

If you want the truth. I only heard about it 2 days ago by a kid named nick. I don't know when exactley it happend. I just worded it so it sounded that I was apart of it. I wish I didn't bring it up now. I do feel bad for the student though. Sorry everybody

[Joe Brock]

You might do well to take a little advice from me, brother.  Trust is something that's hard to earn, and all it takes is exactly what has happened over the last page of posts for it to be totally lost. 

If more people would stand up for what they "know" is right, the world would be a better place.  "Be the change that you want to see in the world."

[Tyler Summers]

So did I just lose everybodys trust?

[Joe Brock]

Perhaps.  Mostly, anyone who hears about (insert cool parkour/freerunning accomplishment/supermodel who gave you her digits here) will go, "Hmmm, I wonder if this is like the Impossible sit-up story?"  I wouldn't stress about it if I were you, just take what little we can learn from each other and apply it to the bigger issues in life.  This isn't a big thing, and sure, it's all about fitting in.  You laugh to fit in when the jock football guys are picking on the exchange student, you relay the story to fit in with funny forum stories, and when you get slack about it...you instantly circumvent responsibility.

Integrity is one of the most highly praised attributes of a good friend, a partner, and really anyone you know.  Have integrity, because that's something that nobody can ever take away from you, and only you can lose.

Joe said it perfectly. Just wanted to add this, "Stand up for what you believe in even if it means standing alone". My parent's told me this when I was a child and it's intergrated into how I am. So don't be a follower be a leader.

I could add a lot more to this, but it goes into something not allowed on the boards. If you want my thoughts PM me.

[Tyler Summers]

ok. when i posted the comment i didnt relize how bad it seemed and all the things that can happen because of it. now i know.

[Ryan Nicolai]

My post wasn't directed specifically at you... It was a scatter-shot meant for everyone involved. Which at the time, you made yourself appear as if you were involved.

I'll be the first to admit that I over-reacted a little bit. It's online, and a chiding over the internet is much easier to give than a calm response. I'm sure things would have panned out differently if I were there in person. However, the point remains the same. You misled us, that's bad. You appeared to think it was a funny prank... That was also bad.

Just did a naked lazy vault and there wass ..ahem... alot of flopping...
