Wow
Little slow with updates this week due to finals. Howard sent this to me. When I was a kid there was this game called Laser Tag. You wore some gay little chest plate thing that would register when you got "hit" by the "laser" gun. It was supposed to be fun but wound up being nowhere near as awesome as cap guns that actually made gun-like noises. Some stupid kid was playing Laser Tag at a school after the sun had gone down and wound up getting shot and killed by a cop. I don't know how old I was when this happened but I do know that I was young enough to be angry about the fact that I couldn't buy a realistic looking toy gun anymore, thanks to the ensuing legislation that followed the death of the child.
I'm one of the last generation of American children who remembers toy guns that looked real. I'd have shit myself in glee if someone had given me a toy cannon. Blows my mind...
