So, I'm going to the gay/lesbian pride parade. But this year, I'm bringing my favourite toy - a water blaster. It's a Buzz Bee "Water Warriors" PulseStrike. It's not heavy at all - even though it's supposed to weigh like 7 pounds when full. (Maybe because I work out? Anyhow, I digress.)
Hmmm...just noticed that the sticker is on sideways. It seems to pump a massive amount of water, so I'd probably be tap-shooting a bit during the pride parade. (Yes, there is a tradition of getting the parade attendants massively showered in water - and it's funny watching the drag queens frown at you.) I'd probably rig up a solar shower backpack water function, or I'd just leave it.
I never bought a massive water blaster during the 1990's (the golden age of CPS technology and Super Soakers). It was a combination of cost, aging and other stuff. The last water pistol I bought was in 1995 - it was a dinky one that had a spring in the bottom - it might have been a piston powered one, but I don't remember. All I remember was chasing my little cousin with it, and breaking off the plastic ridge that served as a sight by dropping it. The last time I saw it in my room, it still had a bit of water in it, and I squirted it out, and it was RUST colored. Terrifying, no?
I'm going to get into water wars/warrior games. Eg. War games with water pistols. I'd probably rig up something for a grenade/water bomb holder and a side arm. Any suggestions on how to get a game going with people? (I know parents are going to scream "pedo" if I try to join in, I need to find people who play Assassins or water wars in my own age group...)
