Just in case you have forgotten, let me remind you how terrible I was at laser tag when we went for Sarah's birthday last year. First of all, I wasn't even allowed in the group photo. I had a lame code name (Mush). And I was by far the worst guy, and if it wasn't for Susan (also not allowed in photo) I would have finished in dead last a few times.
Well I finally got a chance to redeem myself because our camp went to Laser Zone today. And my oh my how the tables have turned. Kids were scared of me the minute we stepped off the bus. 5-year old in the corner. Bam! 8 year old running loose. Snipe! I put up a 140,000 spot in the first game, and then came back with a 230,000 point effort in my second attempt. Both high scores, of course.
And I think I know why I was so dominant. This version of laser tag wasn't every man for himself. There were two teams and the goal was to shoot the other team's base. Well if you get 500 points for each shot at the your opponent's base, and you only lose 50 points if you get shot, that's a net of 450 points. The other kids couldn't figure that out, but I exploited that shit all day long. Not just a pretty face here.
P.S. Looking good Ben. Nice chin strap.
