choose your weapon

during today's lunch, a number of my creative coworkers and i made a field trip to target. our intentions, to buy nerf guns. i found an $8 six shooter called the maverick. it looked like something the punisher would wield, so i felt tough. others opted for the $30 semi automatic. while others landed somewhere in between. so i may be out gunned, but i like being the underdog. i headed up to the express lane to buy my gun sans gun license.

target employee: you buying this for yourself?

me: of course.

target employee: really?

me: i have to. a battle is going to break out in the office.

target employee: seriously?

me: i'm buying a gun. i think that makes me pretty serious.

target employee: i wish i had your job.

that target employee had no idea what they were saying. they think just because they can fire a price gun that they can handle a real nerf gun. nonsense. there is a massive game of assassins that's gonna go down on the creative floor, and only one person will survive. it's a dangerous job, but someone's got to do it.

They don't have the bow and arrow? Supreme accuracy.

i actually still have the old bow and arrow, but it lacks in speed. by the time you draw back you're shot.
