Hipsters are playing Russian roulette with Tasers
The New York Post ^ | January 26 2017 | Jamie Schram

San Francisco hipsters aren’t losing their heads over their version of Russian roulette — which uses a Taser instead of a lethal firearm, according to a report.

Video footage of the odd fad obtained by the Daily Mail shows a waiter serving three beers and a six-shooter stun gun to two men and a tattooed woman sitting at a table in a bar.

The trio takes turns playing the game, as one of the men counts down from the number 5.

The woman goes first, putting the gun to her arm and pulling the trigger. Nothing happens.

She passes the firearm to one of the men, who copies her, with the same result.

That’ll work fine until a few of them drop over dead from a heart attack.

“That’ll work fine until a few of them drop over dead from a heart attack.”

Then they will sue the stun gun manufacturer.

True hipsters play Russian roulette by hiding a can of coor’s light among a cooler full of craft beers and drinking while blindfolded.

Those crazy Hipsters. Play Russian Roulette with a Taser but wet their pants in fear over someone putting a pro-Trump sign on campus.

I thought everyone player the version where you violently shake one beer in a sixpack and randomly pass them out to participants who open under beers their chin.

We used to call it The Beer Hunter after the famous scene with Christopher Walken.

In college, it was ‘Beer Hunter’. One person shook up one can of beer, and then brought the beers to the table. Everyone took a can, the shaker taking the last one left. Then everyone popped the tab, holding the can near their forehead. Laughs ensued when someone got sprayed. Drink the beer and repeat as necessary.

I knew a kid in high school (1976) that killed himself playing Russian Roulette with a .38
Nice kid, too - damn.

A taser is now a firearm?

Well, now that you let everyone in on it, yes.

And I thought that the SF version if Russian roulette involved the twins Ivan and Alexey, one of whom is infected.
