Rambo

So last night was pretty much awesome!!! A group of us met at the church house, this house which is owned by a community church who rents out to college students, to play Rambo. There was the kids who live at the church, the theatre kids who live in the dorms, and a group of foreign kids. We stood around the parking lot for the longest time waiting for everyone to show up and name the rules. After everything was finally sorted out and argued over who would drive and who would run, the race was on!
For those who don't know how to play Rambo, this is how you play: this is a night game, so it needs to get dark before you even start to play :) There are two home bases that need to be at least half a mile apart. Everybody meets at one of the home bases and decides who drives and who runs. The drivers try to catch the runners, as the runners try to make it to the other home base without getting caught, this is achieved by running through ally ways crawling under cars and trucks, dodging behind trees, jumping into bushes, or leaping behind huge dumpsters. The drivers are sneaking through the ally ways and back streets flashing their brights at the runners that weren't quick enough to hide. Pretty much this game is to help anyone improve their ninja skills or FBI tactics ha ha ha!
The first game we played last night I was running with Ally Pines and Michelle Jarvis. We totally kicked butt slinking through ally ways and jumping up ledges on campus. We became one with the shadows ha ha ha
The second round Michelle and I were drivers, well she drove and I shone flash lights at the people. The other drivers was Bryce and Lance, Bryce drove and Lance was the eyes. We waited the ten minutes to give the runners a head start. Michelle and I circled around the golf course next to campus to start off. We found a whole flock of them!!!! They thought they were sly lying in a dip in the grass, but not for my eagle eyes ha ha ha KAH CHOW!!! To use my Dad's phrase: to make a long story longer, we kept flashing and yelling at them to get in the car, even Lance and Bryce stopped by and started yelling at them. They decided that they weren't gonna lay down anymore and booked it. Gah! We kept yelling at them, finally recognizing them and calling their names. Then we sped to the other side of the golf course hoping to cut them off, but no dice, they got away. Anyway we drove down alleys and dark streets, but couldn't find anyone else. We went back to the home base saw that one guy was not back yet, so we made a few more circles, then went back and he was there. We parked and were prepared to tell the four people we caught whats what, and they got all in our face saying we didn't ID them before we got out of our cars, which is against the rules btw. We said that was never established in the rules and that we've never played that way, ect. any who it all blew over and a couple of us went to the gas station to get slurpies, the best way to end the game.
So that is why last night was pretty much awesome :)
