3 Geeks Comic

I am off to Colorado for my vacation and my brothers wedding. The wedding isn’t until friday, but i am flying out tomarrow morning. Michele and I plan to drive around colorado for a few days before the wedding. Plan on doing some great stuff, Dinner at Casa Bonita in Denver, a night at the Haunted Stanley inn in Estees Park, visiting a town called Hot Springs, going to swing through the inspiration for South Park (turns out there isn’t actualy a south park town, but an area known as south park with a town called Fair Play which is the inspiration for it) and into woodlyn park colorado for my Bros wedding.  But fear not my faithful readers (all 3 of you) i have worked hard to queue up enough comics to keep the site updated every day while I am away, and I am sure i should come away with some more ideas from the trip.

Have a good week everyone.

So i really am compiling a list of Nerf War Rules.  Below is what i have so far and i would love to hear any ideas or suggestions from.. well.. anyone really.

Game Modes:

Limb: The body is seperated into limbs and core. Core consists of the head and torso, libs are the arms and legs. A shot to a limb results if your no longer being able to use that limb, if hit in the arm you must drop any gun in that arm and can no longer use that arm to carry a weapon, a shot to a leg means you must hop. Loss of two lims results in a kill. Any shot to the core will result in a kill.

Golden Gun: Single shot anywhere on the body is a Kill and the opponent is out.

Respawn: When killed you hold your gun in the are by the barel above your head to indicate that you are dead, you return to a designated respawn point once there you may return to the game, in some modes you may be required to wait a certain amount of time before you respawn.

Capture the Flag: seperate into two teams, each team has a base with a flag or other similar object. you must retrive the flag from your enemys base and return it to your base to win.

Death Match: No teams, last person standing wins, or with respawn collect tag from kill to keep score, most tags at end of time limit wins.

VIP:One person on the time is nominated as the VIP, this person gets no gun. The rest of the team attempts to protect this person from the other team who wins by kililng the VIP, the VIP’s team wins if they can reach a designated location with the VIP still alive.

Assault:One team sets up in a fortifed location and attempts to protect some item there, they do not get to respawn. other team(s) attempt to destory (shoot)the item and win if they do so. They get unlimited respawn. Timed game, defenders win if they protect, game ends if item is shot.

General Rules:
Wearing of Protective Eye wear is highly encouraged.
Guns do not have to be made by Nerf, any gun that shoots a foam dart or large foam ball is legal, NO BB GUNS OR AIRSOFT!
Shots cannot bounce, once the dart hits the ground or other stationary object it is dead.
No physical contact of any kind, no body checks or holding of opponents
No manipulation of darts (weighting, shaving, etc.) all darts must remain as they did when you purchased them from the store.
Manipulation of dart guns is allowed as long as it is safe
Foam swords for pool noodles may be used as melee weapons, try to keep it to body shots though.
Foam sheild may also be used only when weilding a foam sword - to deflect darts and melee wepons, but no other armour of any kind is allowed.
Disputes will be settled by shootout And if there is a tie it will be settled through potato sack races on conscutive Sundays until a winner can be dertermined…

So, I pull up Amazon.com this morning to look for a couple of movies I want, and I figure while I am buying a few movies I might as well look for a few other thing to buy to get the free shipping.  Anyways  I start looking through the Nerf guns, for one i must have but don’t already own and at the bottom of the page it pulls up other suggested products and i see this:

 the super soaker 50!!  This is the super soaker I had growing up… I have fond memories of shoting my sister with it then her hitting me.  Ah.. good times..

But wait!!! WTF is this …  20th anniversary edition!!! WHOLEY SHIT!!!   I mean… I know I am getting old, that 30th birthday is right around the corner. But this… THIS really drives the point home.  And yes.. I did order one.

I have been takeing my dogs to the dog park for the past 6 months or so. I have two labs, a black lab named Vandal and a chocolate lab named Wallace. I consider myself to be a pretty good dog owner. I take good care of my pupps, I spoil them rotten, and i have taken them both to training classes at the local Petsmart so they are not completly unruly. I think I have myself some pretty good dogs. They are however very full of energy, so as often as I can I take them to a local dog park near my house. At this dog park we are allowed to let our dogs loose to run about and play, big open fields, a tree covered hill and a stream all set back away from the roads.  We have meet a number of people at this dog park and a number of dogs, There is the older guy named Bob who brings his sons dog frequently, the long haired guy who brings his pit bull Salt, The crazy mail man with the chocolate lab and pug named menace and the lady with the huge yellow lab named Tank. I would considere all of these people to be pretty cool, they come down to the park, they know my dogs and say hi and pet them, they throw sticks, the yell at your dog if it try so eat the nasty mud and every one is general cool and watches out for each other. But, being a public place anyone is allowed to go to the dog park. Like the stupid ass people who showed up tonight. This grown up valley girl and her old crazy ass mom show up with their dog. They haven’t been around over winter and have just now showed up now that the weather is better, so basicly their dogs is new. A new dogs has to find its place in the pack, in the dog world this usualy involves lots of wrestling and humping. Its just something that dogs do to establish dominance. After a bit of this everyone figures out where they are and settles into their roles and its all good.. but noooo these stuipd ladys wouldn’t have that.. complaining the whole time about how we let our dogs jump up on them, and then they decided to wander off… and when my dog went to follow they wouldn’t stop to let me grab my puppy wallace, they just wandered off throught he woods back up to the parking lot. By the time i finaly caught up they were practicly back near the major raod with my dog walking along trying to play with theirs, the whole time i am running after them shouting for my dog to come and them to stop!!! common coutesty for gods sake, why not just run my dog right out into traffic while you at it. WHAT THE HELL?!?!

So, with that on my mind i give you this, the Dog Park Rules. This is not a comprehensive list, and by all means feel free to add your own comments.

DOG PARK RULES:
1. Your going to get jumped on by muddy dogs. The park is muddy, the park is full of dogs running around in the mud. Dogs tend to jump unless you know to get down on their level and say hi when they come running up, even then most of the time they still jump. Don’t wear your nice clothing to the dog park.

2. Let your dog run around. Its a dog park, they point of the dog park is that your allowed to let you dogs run around. If you keep your dog on a leash it instantly becomes the most interesting thing in the dog park and will be mobbed by the entire pack, at which point it will proceed to run around you in circles until you trip or it breaks free of your grasp

3. When you leave say good-by and let the other owners grab their dogs if need be. When dogs run and play they are all over the place in the park. When dogs are playing they don’t listen to commands all that well. When you put your dog on the leash to leave your dog suddenly becomes interesting (see rule 2) so other dogs will run across the park to follow your dog and try and play with it… they will follow you.  They will follow you into the woods. They will follow you to the parking lot. They will jump into the back of your car with your dog.  If the other owners know you are leaving, they will call their dogs over and grab they or distract them as you leave.

4. If you bring small children with you to the dog park make sure they are comfortable around dogs. Small runnining children are in the same group as rabbits, squirrels, deer and just about any thing else that runs. Dogs will chase your small screaming child. They will jump on your small screaming child (see rule 1)

5. Share with the class. If you bring treats for your dog theyn expect to have to share, or fight for them. The only thing in the dog park more interesting then the dog on the leash is you and your food. No, i am wrong, they only thing more intersting in the dog park then you and your food is the small screaming child with food. This extends to any and all toys you bring with you for your dog. (children are not toys) If you throw the ball every fur covered creature with 4 legs is going to take off chasing it. I hate to hurt your feelings but your dogs may not always be the first one there.

6. If your dog is agressive and attacks other dogs, they stay the hell out of the dog park. You don’t take your drunk uncle bob who is in AA to the bar. The dog doesn’t know any better, you DO. I understand you feel the right to go to the dog park because its a public place, but if you know your dog will attack the other dogs your just being negligant. There is wiggle room, if you know your dog is food aggressive then don’t take food, and let the others know. If your dog is just play aggressive then go for walks on a leash in the neighborhood, dog on leash in park.. not good. Agressive dog on leash in park… Very not good.

Yea, so apparently avon now supplies the T-Virus for all your beauty needs. Its odd though, i haven’t seen an avon catalog since i was a kid, my mom used to get avon stuff all the time.. but in recent years nothing. Then all the sudden there are avon catalogs everywhere!! In the Lunch room at work, My Fiancé brought one home with her, Hell they even put one on my windshield at the mall!! Its kinda creepy really. And on the cover of each one is this vial that looks exactly like the T-Virus from the resident evil games.. all this comes out at exactly the same time as the Resident Evil 5 Video game….  call me crazy but I don’t think it’s a coincidence….

Ok.. maybe I am a little crazy.

I am going away this weekend for a little vacation thing, Michele and I are headed to the Poconos just to get away and relax for a few days, it couldn’t come at a better time. Its been busy with wedding planning lately, Ebay stuff, working both jobs. Oh, we are also thinking about looking into possibly seeing if we can find a house together, still much checking to do but that could also be a possiblity in the near future.. it would be severly awesome to have my own house.. even if the bank really owns it, now to find a nice place i can actualy aford, oh and if anyone know anything about how this house buying stuff works please let me know. I have been reading goverment grant info and realator stuffs for a while and I’m still uber confused.
