The first shots were fired in '98 kicking off a multi-decade conflict. Weapon of choice, Marshmallows.
Scene: first bachelor pad
Cast: Shag (not our shag), cousin G, and myself
I’m sitting on the floor cross-legged,G is stretched out on a futon mattress(just the mattress no frame, and Shag is sitting on the bed. We’re passing the bong around and burnt through about a dime. We sit there laughing and bullshitting when I get the munchies. So I just up off the floor and run into the kitchen to find something to gnaw on, and there, in the bottom of the pantry is a tempting bag of puffed up sugar and egg whites: Marshmallows! SCORE! Grab the bag, rip it open(only to later discover a zip seal on the other end) pop one in my mouth and tootle back to the bedroom. As i open the door, Shag gives me a quizzical look, Note: no words have been spoken since I jumped off the floor, I hold up my prize triumphantly and he nods understandingly. And then I see the back of my cousins head…
Marshmallow?
Cousin’s head?
Marshmallow?
Cousin’s head?
Shag? Nods with enthusiasm
Marshmallow flies with unerring accuracy to make a rather hollow sounding pop, dead center on the back of my cousin’s head! The night was a blur of laughter, fake death cries, and flying Marshmallows.
When it was time to move out (7 months later) hostilities raged to the breaking when a stash of ammunition was discovered and fighting broke out again. This time the Marshmallows were smaller and harder. The conflict continues to this day any time we happen to convene.
