was this taking it too far

yes, way overboard with that one.

I've worked in the merchant marines and have spent some time near naval ship yards and other ports, have traveled through the panama canal, spent years sailing... and all i can say is sailors don't cuss as much as jets.

Are you a Vikings fan? It's football, he'll deal with it.

Oh hell, they didn't hurt that guy. They tied him up and threw a little Gatorade on him. He was smiling through the whole thing till they put the Gatorade powder in his face, then they washed it off to get it out of his eyes. No harm done. I'd say he got off pretty easy.

At least he didn't get beat with a sock full of quarters.

Still think its kinda sad that stuff like that is needed. In what other workplace would that be ok?

Absolutely. I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps where they had a thing called a blanket party. If you saw the movie Full Metal Jacket then you know what i'm talking about. It's where 4 guys throw a blanket over a guy while he's asleep. And others beat the crap out of him. This thing went on the hold time I was in the Corps. And probaly still does today. So what's so bad about getting tied up and guys throwing gator ade on you? Could have been a lot worse.

This is a team building exercise. No worries.
