Deal of the day: $20 paintball outing with equipment

With today's Groupon, $20 gets you a paintball excursion including equipment and 200 paintballs at Randolph Paintball-51% off a $41 value. Hunt your friends in one of Randolph's three paintball fields: Randolph Paintball Outdoor (96 Plymouth St. in Holbrook), Randolph Paintball Indoor (410 South St. in Randolph), or Plainville Paintball Outdoor (31 Taunton St. in Plainville).

Randolph's outdoor locations are open April to November and the indoor location is open December through March. If you've ever thought it'd be fun to encroach upon enemy territory in a marine crawl, expertly evade crossfire, and seize the enemy's sacred flag in glorious victory, now's your chance. A one-on-one fencing battle with the dragon snake from the Marines ads is not included.

Randolph Paintball will provide you with all you need: a gun, mask, camo jacket, gloves, and 200 paintballs. (Additional paintballs must be purchased from Randolph Paintball and cost $25 for 500.) The safety orientation will give you pointers to play the game safely (no Russian roulette, etc.). Optional items that may be useful include basic army training, two weeks of rations, and a paint-sword for close combat.

Buy a few Groupons to see if you and your friends can precisely reenact the final battle in Starship Troopers, or get together for a wonderful day of comraderie and adventure before turning on them like Benedict Arnold with direct shots to the back. There can be only one supreme warrior.
