How to Play the ‘Laser Through the Crowd’ Game

The object is: to make it to the destination fast as possible, travelling only straight through the crowd. No moving on the fringe, no running.

Points are deducted if any person or object touches you.

Points are added for cool moves, like, squeezing untouched through an impossible space as it closes, or fancy footwork.

This is an ideal game board:

Makes a boring walk, not

Spot the filming camera.

I’m pretty good at moving through crowds, like a laser beam. That’s where I got the name from. Helps that I’m little.

I’m good at moving through crowds, like a laser beam.

Helps that I’m little, and that I’ve been playing “laser through the crowd” forever.

The goal is to make it to the destination fast as possible, going straight through the crowd. No moving on the fringe, no running.

Points are deducted if anything/one touches you, and points are added for cool moves, like, squeezing untouched through an impossible space as it closes, or fancy footwork.

Wasn’t shopping, just passed through during my walk, to get a taste of Boxing Day.

Lasted 12 minutes.

We wear a lot of black in Toronto, eh.

 

 

A Christmas Lawsuit Story

In 1981 the Eaton Centre tied red bows on the geese while decorating.

The artist freaked out, said they were ruining the design, take them off.

The Eaton Centre said, “we paid you, now we own them, no”.

They argued and fought and took it to a judge, who sided with the artist.

And forever more the Canadian Copyright Law was changed: you can’t fuss with the art even after you buy it.  

This case is widely used today as an example: Snow VS The Eaton Centre.  Here’s the Wikipedia page.

Note the Canadian spelling of ‘centre’.
