I’m really loving this story about 9 high school friends who have been playing tag for 23 years.\u00c2\u00a0 Literally.\u00c2\u00a0 The game started in high school, and then on the last day of school the guy who was “it” couldn’t tag anyone.\u00c2\u00a0 He was “it” for 8 more years until they had a reunion and decided to start the game again.\u00c2\u00a0 They had all moved away from each other, so the rules were that the game was only open for the month of February each year.\u00c2\u00a0 If you got tagged, you were it for the whole year.\u00c2\u00a0 Elaborate stunts, travel, traps and stalking ensued, and I think this is just awesome.<\/p>\n

I can see this ultimately ending with a dramatic low speed chase in rascal scooters in Florida…..<\/p>\n

Nice work guys, keep it up.<\/p>\n
