Funtastics

One way to learn more about your fellow UBRPers is to see how they drive go-carts and what their strategy is in laser tag.  A small group of UBRPers spent Saturday afternoon, February 21 in this pursuit.  It was a gorgeous day and some of us arrived in a UA pick up truck with an extended cab.  We could have gathered sheep in the back, which is the use the truck may have had in the hands of earlier users, but instead we traveled to Wetmore Road to the site of Fantastics.  Once there we piled into go carts (hint:  the fast ones are number 14 and number 8-stay away from number 13 unless you want to make leisurely circuits of the course), tested our seaworthiness in floating rubber tubes outfitted with gigantic squirt guns, and had a spirited game of laser tag. For some of us, this was our first experience with laser tag. We divided into three teams...the red, the blue and the yellow.  The blue team consisted of three very little children.  The yellow team, headed by Mounir Koussa (who it turns out employed a very successful strategy of standing concealed on the third story of the laser tag facility and picked off everyone on the two floors below him) handily scored the most points.  We then refueled with pizza over a spirited discussion of the best and worst movies we have every seen, and headed home.
