On the lighter side

In a post a few weeks ago I talked about the game of Assassins that I lost miserably at. Yesterday we began a new game with some new rules. One of these rules is that you can now "stab" people by taping them on the back or chest with a spoon. This new rule has served me well. This morning after chapel an attempt was made on my life. I was leaving the student center, carmel macciato in hand, engaged in conversation, when a guy I know walks quickly past, then suddenly drops all his books on the ground and pulls out this:

Well like I said I'm holding a steaming cup of coffee, in addition to this my gun (of the same make and model) is in my backpack. Because of the coffee I couldn't get into my bag, so all I have for protection is a spoon.

The assassin fires once and I duck out of the way. He fires again and misses. He fires a third time and it hits me in the head, which doesn't count b/c we aren't allowed to aim for the head. By this time I'm pretty annoyed. So I've got my spoon in one hand and my coffee in the other and I begin to chace him down the sidewalk. He's desperately trying to get off another shot, but is once again unsuccessful. I lunge forward and gently jab him with my spoon. Unfortunately he stumbles backwards and falls causing me to trip also. Coffee goes flying one way, spoon another, and I go down...hard. The assassin attempted to protest his elimination, but finally surrendered after an eyewitness confirmed that I had in fact killed him (and I think the fact that I was bleeding may have had an impact also). It was a rather exhilarating start to the day. The adrenaline definitly outweighed the embarassment of completely wiping out in front of hundreds of people. (I admit I did leave the scene of the spilled coffee rather quickly.)

It is now the end of day two. I am still alive. I have eliminated my first 2 targets and one would be assassin. Maybe I should send that resume into the CIA afterall.

I was gonna post some pictures of my "really cool injuries", but the thing wouldn't let me upload them so you'll have to take my word on the fact that they are pretty gross.

Anyway I hope everyone is having a marvelous day (or night as the case may be).
