Just bought my 1st massive water blaster....

[astrangeone]

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...)

haha, nice blaster

The only water gun that i bought was a generic cheap water gun, something like this:

it was pretty fun while it last

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Ah...I remember when the BEST water gun around was this one

And I HAD ONE

Guess your country doesn't have hate-crime laws? And here was me thinking canadians were a bit more civilized than that...

 

[gameboy13]

HA HA HA! I have a gun with TWO NOZZLES!!!

 

[Joe88]

Hmmm? You are thinking assault versus just a nice time? It's hot as hell in July and it's accepted tradition - plus, I'm part of the community!

Yeah, if I get the cash or I see a CPS at a yard sale, I'm picking it up. It's a good series, just not worth the maintance/other stuff to get it into tip top shape!

god bless the SS50 brings a tear to my eye

 

[Based God]

buckets of water would be much easier to just throw around

 

[Veho]

I had this one:

It was great

But the very best water gun I ever had was this cheap little water pistol I found at some random bin of cheap Chinese crap and bought on impulse. It was amazing! It was tiny and only held about six-seven squirts, and the trigger was pretty tough and hard but it had this incredible, unbelievable range for such a tiny little squeeze gun, and it shot these horrible, thick columns of water, and when one of those hit your ear (from about fifteen feet away) it felt like someone opened a garden hose on you.

Awesome

 

[zeromac]

I had a hose

Wow that takes me back. I feel like a kid just looking at it.

 

[Based God]

I had a hose

yeah the hose was also one of the best not having to refill was great but you can only go to a certain distance

 

[Joe88]

of course the big kids can have fun too

 

[Based God]

lol the pressure washer would hurt

It's hot as hell in July and it's accepted tradition

"Drag queens frowning at you" doesn't make it seem like it is accepted.

If you tried something like that at a pride here you'd soon get filled in.

Let me fill you in. astrangeone is a lesbian, and occasionally a drag king. She will be in the pride parade. It's a tradition for people in the parade to spray each other with waterguns. I take it the queens frown at it because it messes up their makeup.

Better?

I think I had the same one!

Hopefully I still have it around here somewhere, I can think of some good uses for it.

I got that.

She will be in the pride parade.
Surprisingly, I also got THAT from their post.

And we have a WINRAR!!

If you tried to spray water all over a drag queen at a pride here then you would get your face smashed in - tradition or no tradition. A frown signifies displeasure, if you hadn't guessed. They don't want it happening. Everyone else happy with being squirted, fine. When someone doesn't like it then you don't do it.


Also the "filling in" I talked of is slang for a beating, not pointing out the bleeding-obvious on a forum. =]
