My days lately have been an exercise in pain and torture. That is a story for another day, but the stories are amazing. I’m sure that, when the information is put forth, most men would agree with my thinking in the scenario, and most logical women would, too. Before I get to the meat of the post, I would like to say, that as of this post, I have spent $6.70 for the day, if you assume that I don;t count the food that was already in the house, which provided breakfast and lunch. I’m a thrifty bastard.
The other day, while picking up some essentials for my apartment (and by essentials, I mean shaving cream, since 2 days of dry shaving was enough), I decided that I needed a small water gun. I felt that the weapon would be a useful tool in retraining Tigger, who, during my time in Germany, was apparently untrained by my friend. Now, all that I wanted was something simple and small. Everyone remembers those water guns from their childhood that cost a dollar, had a 6-inch range, and leaked most of the water that you put into it. Amazingly, something that I deemed entirely worthless then, would now be highly sought by me as an important tool.
Water guns today have highly evolved from those days, and although their upgrades may be deemed “fun” and exciting, I have no need for the Super Soaker Child-Desolvers that currently saturate the market (no pun intended). Today’s “toys” have things like 4 nozzles, backpacks that hold more water, fast-refill stations that hook up to a garden hose. Hell, they’re pretty much carrying a portable garden hose. I’m sure that future innovation will allow a lake to be quickly drained and dropped on your friends. Hell, the way the toys are designed now, if you shot your friend in the mouth their head would probably pop like those clowns with balloons at the amusement park.

Hi, I hope you are doing well. I took my daughter to take a tour at the North Georgia State College in Dahlonega. It was more like a fast pace force march. Being this is a mountain town it was up and down to visit different parts of the campus. This is also a military college and it was “fun” watching some of the ROTC guys being trained on the pararade field. Hmm, I could use a water gun to train — okay never mind
Have Fun, Sharon in GA By the way have you ever been to Spain? If so would you live there–Mary is waiting to go there for some of her college.
HAHA! RYC: I already started my SDP a few days ago! ^_^ Thanks though!
FPS’s are great, I just haven’t played anything newer than Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Familiar with Operation Flashpoint?
yeah, i remember being able to get like 4 of those water guns at a 99 cents store
back in simpler times…the world get’s high tech
LMAO! Oh it’s so true about the water guns today!!! I got the Super Soaker 200 for Christmas when I was about 7, with pumping action, and even back then I thought it was so high tech.
My brother and I filled it up and proceeding to shoot people in the street out of our 3rd floor apartment in Brooklyn. Kind of diabolical now that I think of it, but funny none the less.
Hello, I hope this finds you doing great. I finally saw the movie, The Health Inspector movie. Okay, I will admit it is a really stupid funny movie. I was disappointed that the saying, “Get ‘Er Done” was not said until the end. Many Smiles, Sharon in GA
