It was one of the try-out rituals for becoming the next Stanford Tree, the school mascot. The current Tree is the hunter (using a semi-automatic with a large CO2 tank shoulder mount), and some prospects scurry about. Whoever takes the most paint ball hits is the glorious winner. <br /> <br /> I have felt the welt that these paintballs leave though a layer of camo. On his bare skin, they left what appears to be a bloody impact crater with a spray of ruptured capillaries. They generally don’t leave a permanent mark, but he should have some technicolor bruises for a few days.</p> Thu, 22 Feb 2007 22:42:15 -0800 2007-02-21T13:15:10-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (jurvetson) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/399515332 Bap bap bap! <p>I had lunch at Stanford yesterday and saw a most unusual hunt.
