i have a story about those 3 man launchers.
when i graduated high school some friends and I were hanging out at this kid's graduation party. it was lame, and one friend said he had one of those balloon launchers in his car. so we went and got it and shot it at the people who were playing basketball. hilarity ensued.
that was fun but it wasn't enough. we decided to cruise around the neighborhoods the next night and shoot balloons at innocent people. the vehicle was my mom's dark blue 2000 impala. we started off finding two kids walking down a street and launched a couple but missed them. we tried to hide but it probably didnt matter. we also saw a girl we knew from highschool jogging but we just threw water balloons at her.
its getting late and we are about to call it quits when all of a sudden we spot the perfect marks. on this corner we had just driven by was a house where about 5-6 thug black guys were playing basketball. awesome. i park the car a block away in a court and we line up across the street. we launch one, it hits a thug in the leg, and we run back to the car, except for the guy holding the water balloons who wanted us to fire more. hell no. it was so much fun, lots of high fives and stuff. we start driving away and after i turn around in the court but before i turn back on to the main road, we see three cars going in the opposite direction of where im turning. as soon as i turn i look in my rear view mirror and there the 3 cars all do U-turns and start following us. my friends start yelling suggestions..."lets go to the police, they wont follow us there"..."lets drive south to carolina, they wont follow us all the way there"..."lets just speed away"....it was hectic. i have never been this scared. this sounds like im a pussy but these guys were seriously people that shouldnt be fucked with. anyway, i procede to drive really slowly and they stopped following eventually.
it turns out, a few weeks later, one of my friends talked to one of the guys playing basketball who was cool and the guy brought up how they were hit by water balloons. my friend played it cool and got the story about how they went looking to fuck up whoever did it and started chasing a cop car (ha! thank cops drive impalas) and eventually gave up.
