Commandos + The Lucky Charms Incident
September 22nd, 2008 at 12:43 am (The Real World)
Last night at 9:30pm about 18 of us hooligans and fun-seekers met in a parking lot to play Commandos. The way it works is like this: there’s a starting point and an ending point, and everyone has to make it from the starting point to the ending point without being caught by whoever is driving in the car. It’s like sort of like hide-and-seek, with the seeker being in a car.
The fun part is trying to find an obscure path from point A to point B that the driver(s) won’t expect. Luckily for us, I had Google Maps in the palm of my hand thanks to my iPhone! Without it we would have been completely lost, because we used almost all back-roads so as not to be seen. Oh the uses of the internet these days…
We did three rounds of Commandos, and by the end we were all ready to collapse from exhaustion — we had basically just sprinted about five miles.
Afterwards Sammi and her friend, Tori, Kyle, and I all went back to Sammi’s house to crash there for the night so we wouldn’t have to drive home after all this. But when we got there, oh no! The Lucky Charms source had been depleted! So, at approximately midnight, we got back in the car and drove to Roth’s, Wal•Mart, and finally Winco in search thereof (the last one being successful).
None of us ended up going to bed until around 3am for Reasons Unknown To Man, but I can tell you, when we did we all slept soundly.
And woke up sore, but ready for more! (Maybe in a week…)
