live action roleplaying. Some of them are quite fun. Some of them are quite, well, I don't need to describe it. Just watch the lightning bolt video again and you'll see what I'm talking about. =P

Whats a L.A.R.P?
When I used to do Leathercraft years ago (I made armor and chain mail etc IRL for fun theatrical) I used to make MAD MAD money off some of these people... so naturally, I went to a few...

I have to admit, as gay as it was, I had an assload of fun, these people are totaly NUTS! One guy will walk up to you dressed up like some damn freaky demon from hell with big rubber horns glued to his forehead and fake fur glued to his ass and his mothers old black bedsheets as his robe, Talking about the history of how he was banished from some abyss 7 centuries ago while his cute girlfriend standing behind him wearing painted pantyhose fairy wings on her back and thoroughly embarassed to be seen with him! (yes thats all 1 sentance, im rambling here)
Than another guy will come up to you covered from head to toe with swords, blades, throwing darts like some sort of freaky museum exhebition piece with his lazy eye talking about how he can remove your head in one swift swing with the 6 foot long sword (that he cant even hold) while he drops 3 knives on the floor (bareley missing his feet tip first) taking him 15 minutes and a partial disrobing to remove the stupid thing from his back! Thinking he's Conan or something.
But NOBODY beats the 28 or so year old 98 pound black kid dressed as a wizard with the speach impediment! Yes, this is the same kid from that opening day of Star Wars in Manhatten video everyone has seen from the Conan O'brian show with the dog puppet with the cigar... "which button do you press to call your mommy to pick you up?" Remember that video? Yes... he really does that! I met him... I screamed.. I ran for my life. my Fiance and best friend did the same! like I said..... NUTS! Dont get me wrong.. not everybody is like that, but the few "freaks" that do you never forget!

I love the basketball goal in the background.

If that fat ass kid started throwing rolled up toilet paper at me I'd ram my tinfoil sword up his ass. I can't believe people can seriously do something that retarded and think it's cool. If I did do it I wouldn't be posting it on the web in hopes of not scarring someone watching it for life with my retardedness.

I think a bunch of people should sign up for one of these LARPs, just to screw with the proceedings. Think of the possibilities!

Here's one to start with:

http://www.dimensional.com/~raucous/agttnr.htm

Note the section where it defines its magic spells. In particular:

Lightning Bolt: This spell is very powerful. The lightning bolt is represented by an odd colored javelin. This spell disregards armor. If the bolt strikes either a weapon or a shield, the weapon or shield conducts the bolt and any area in contact with the weapon or shield is considered struck. As with a magic missile, all areas or people struck until the lightning bolt comes to rest are affected.

5. If you see a harmful or unsafe situation, yell the word "HOLD" (i.e. someone is about to fall off of a cliff, someone has an unsafe weapon, someone gets their glasses knocked off, etc...).

'oh noos my glasses'

Ha. Ok check it out. Millie found a LARP based from Denver. Now im from colorado and live maybe 30 minutes from Denver.

A few of my friends have video cameras and could tape us "new recruits".

I will do some research on how to get in, but how do you think we can pull off the "Big W" and mess with the proceedings? Something that will put the lightning bolt video to shame.
