Breaking News, ca 1985

Is it that time again to discover that the game of Assassination is being played upon city streets?

I guess so:

A large-scale combination of “Hide and Seek” and murder is being played on the streets of major U.S. cities with water pistols.

“StreetWars: Killer” allows grownups to play out fantasies of being assassins, the Los Angeles Times says. The game began in New York, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that one of the founders, Franz Aliquo, “could use some psychiatric help.”

Party like it’s 1985!

UPDATE: UPI has also learned that some young people play games with paper and dice around kitchen tables while drinking copious amounts of Mountain Dew. Unconfirmed reports indicate that these people worship the devil!

  1. Woah! Woah! Woooaaaahhboy!

    One of their only rules is not to break the law. This sounds fine to me.

    This sounds like a rockin’ game to me. …and just as I was gearing up for sniper Airsoft games in the woods, too. This seems like MUCH more realistic civilian anti-terrorits training… you know… just in case… er… something major happens.

    Hey Brian… I’ll waive the entry fee just for you. Just say you’re IN, and get your squirt gun within arm’s reach!

    Or maybe I need psychiatric help too…….

  2. We used to play this in college – I can’t imagine the stupidity of doing it in a urban setting in today’s age.

    Yeah, it’s a lot of fun – but it would seem very easy to get shot or detained and charged.

    There is a war going on after all.
