My senior class played this game in high school, actually in the town just across the river from Wethersfield.

It was pretty fun, but you can really see the potential for it to get out of hand. I remember the cops got called a few times for people lurking around houses at night wearing black jumpsuits, tailing cars home from school, or some other generally shady things. I think it got banned a few years after I graduated.

I pack a veined and swollen blood bomber with me at all times. It's capable of dispensing multiple rounds of protate squeezin's up to 5'...

Oh Damn, you hit me.

Don't tell this guy. (want)

dillenger69: I dunno ... the Super Soaker Money-Shot Gun can be pretty traumatizing.

I can't stop laughing at the first kids reaction to getting oozed on.

I used to play this game too, but for fun I'd show up with a pump BB gun rifle and blast everyone with pellets. Sure, some friends would lose their eyes, but we'd all admit we had a laugh in the end.

We played it in Westport, too, but we used Nerf Guns. And it was invite only for kids who had been in AP classes, so there was less stupidity... we made rules against shooting while driving and home invasions. Didn't stop someone from chopping a tree down across a driveway so that they kid would have to get out of his car to move it. The valedictorian got set up by someone's mother who worked for the town newspaper with a fake interview.

Seriously, what were they thinking when they did it?.

And can we use the term "poor unsuspecting" a few more times? Makes it sound really dramatic! Actually sounds more like this jackass has been waiting to use that phrase most of his life and now he thinks it fits... Poor unsuspectimg moron making public statements..

Not sure what all this foolishness about SQUART gun is supposed to mean, but if you think that's real witty and humorous you're a jackass, too.

And so, the "Wait what?" phrase returns...

Does this mean I can't play with squirt guns anymore?

Involving anyone's parents, especially their mother, should have resulted in automatic disqualification.

Their parents need their arses kicked for raising kids too clueless to respect the road.

we played this at my school. no one cared enough to get into situations where someone would get hurt. these morans are just too caught up in a dumb game.

Don't let Cytherea in on this...she'll be arrested for sure.

Squirt guns lead to teen pregnancies

I saw the headline and knew it had to be my old hometown...I believe my graduating class was the first to do this. only about 20 people participated and it all took place on school grounds. My, how things get out of hand.

The last time I fired my squirt gun at a bunch of high school girls, I was incarcerated for 2 years.

Pump pump pump pump, blast ooze. Seems like a natural progression to me. My question is what took them so long?

It's all fun and games until the cops mistake it for a real gun.

My college roommate and I used to play a game similar to this. It was called "killer" and involved way more than squirt guns. I once took a picture of him from our apartment window with a disposable camera = snipered with a rifle. He left a note in the fridge signifying a bomb in the freezer. Hmmm what else dry erase marker around the edge of a CD = poisoned CD. Also marker on doorknob = poison doorknob via spider. Tape on inside car door = car bomb. Sneak up on him with plastic knife. Water pistols were part of it too. It added a bit of fun to the college experiance to take a minute or two to ponder "How should I kill him today?"

The first rule about Squirt Gun Assassin is...

We played this at my school, but didn't use squirt guns. Don't remember what we did use, though. Wish I did drugs or something to explain why I can't remember. :(

//wtf

From CT a couple of towns over from Wethersfield.

We played in HS. It started at our HS in 1985. My sisters senior class was the first there to do it. We used the suction cup dart guns to play. The School got pissed off after a few years and banned it from School property.

We had a money pool for the winner. Kids would hide in garages etc. No one ever got in a car accident that I know of tho.

/Got "tagged" at a party drinking a keg.

Yes, that's right! We would "stab" people. You could also use a watch with a timer as a bomb if you taped/ wrote "bomb" & the blast radius on it.

For our game if you snuck in to someones car and turned their radio all the way up and lights on etc it was considered a "car bomb" and was a good kill

Miss Smartass:
Does this mean I can't play with squirt guns anymore?

No, no, no....by all means, please keep playing with the 'squirt guns'
*wink wink - nudge nudge*

This wasn't even news when my friends were playing it in school...almost 30 years ago.


/left a cassette tape in my target's car stereo saying "this is a car bomb"

I was at a school where we couldn't have cars. Peh.

That's weird. I have this strip as one of the images in my desktop rotation but my punchline is different.

Mine reads (if I can remember correctly) "Well, don't look at me, it isn't my pee."

Glastonbury.

Rocktown Whaaaattt?!

We played the game too, but it was more of a thing to sneak up on people while they were in class and spray them in front of everyone. The goal being not getting caught sneaking in. More of something to make a boring day exciting. I dont recall it ever being played outside of school

Oh and just so you farkers know, this is solid guido territory right here.

Gotcha!?

Here is what we used to play, updated a bit since the last time I played it, but still looks pretty close.

Killer (new window)

If squirt guns are outlawed then......

RoxtarRyan: wethersfield is also home to Silas Deane Pawn
//here's their commercial i got greenlit a while back (new window)
//get down here, now!

What are you doing? We are trying to make a commercial?

You can put water in squirt guns?

another misrepresented fark article. Yeah, these kids playing assassin need the crap beaten out of them. Running around in a park is one thing. Taking the game everywhere you go is a recipe for disaster.

Patzycakes: It's all fun and games until the cops mistake it for a real gun.

We reach, and reach and finally come up with some kind of desperate rationalization to pass yet another law, statute or regulation. When I read TFA, the first thing that came to mind was the anarchists' axiom "The natural end of all government is when all that is not mandatory is proscribed, and all that is not proscribed is mandatory."

/squirt guns, check and double check
