You know you love paintball too much when.......

[ramenjames]

you have to spike your drinking water with paint because you have grown a taste for getting gogged

your time on the internet went from
porn:70% flash games: 20% AO: 10%
to
AO:98% Porn:1.5% flashgames:.5%

those are mine....now name yours:D

[Lethargic]

you wear paintball brand clothes to school/work/church/etc.

your friends/family tell you to shut up about paintball.

all your friends play paintball.

your girlfriend plays paintball.

you practice walking the trigger wherever you go.

you bunker your cat/dog/brother all the time.

you live on AO.

you play multiple times a week.

you devote your money/life/soul to the game.

you leave your marker out so you can play with it all the time.

you proudly display your collection of "awesome" welts.

you spend more on paintall guns then you do on your car.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...

you post a thread on AO without bothering to do a search about it:D ;)

[PsychoBaller]

If Lethargic didnt cover almost everything, then I dont think anyone can, lol, nice job

[SpecialBlend2786]

When you name your guns and refer to them as real people.

You arrange your furniture at your hosue so that you can practice diving behind bunkers (couches)

You buy/build/sell parts for a living.

Instead of painting the walls of your room with a brush, you just lowered your velocity and went full auto:)

[NJPaint]

Mine are:

-snap shooting around door frames in the house

-walking my fingers on random things all day long (it annoys the hell out of the girlfriend)

-sometimes when I'm bored I'll oil the mag just for the hell of it, put a good 1000 psi through it then put it back on the wall

Yup....hit the nail on the head.

That and the fact that you take better care of your markers than you would your own kids.

[Bolter]

i have dreamed about certain fields i have played on!

I hate anyone shooting my gun (with a passion daggnamit!!)

I rarely go a day without spending two hours with my gun

I also walk my fingers everywhere I go.

[Big_Chops]

when you feel lost and can't even concentrate in school when you know there is not a gun to come home and play with. or when you try to bunker some kid in school:D yes people were looking at me weird but i don't care.

[soccer4minimags]

Your already thinking about your next set-up before you've even gotten or used the new one you just got.

[robdamanii]

When you just CAN'T have enough cool markers, and always have to have another one, or that one cool part?

[-=Squid=-]

I have this bad habit of walking every SINGLE thing that can make a tapping sound when struck. I.e. pencils, pens, fingernails on desks, etc.

I would also say I play DPB WAY to much. In fact, for the first time in a while I actually spent more than 20 bucks on paintball... Vday, ya know.

Oh... I will also be walking around my house, and randomly slide on the carpet.

[RRfireblade]

When you get up in the morning and the first thing you do is check AO,BEFORE you take a leak.

When you tell paintball stories to people who don't play and you think THIER nuts because they have no idea what the heck your talking about.

When you stop eating out to save money for paintball.

When you stop eating to save money for paintball.

When you have more money tied up in paintball gear than in your car.

When you have no car BECAUSE all your money is tied up in paintball gear.

When you have enough paintball gear that if you sold it all you could BUY a brand new car.

You keep all your gear packed and ready next to the door,"just in case".

You've figured out a dozen or so ways to alter your paintgun for home defense.

Your paintgun is displayed along with the rest of your family pictures.

You've put away all your family pictures to make room for your paintgun display.

You blew off a girl for paintball w/ guys.

You broke up w/ a girl because of "Paintball".

You broke up with a girl 'cause she shoots another brand gun.

You know where your paintgun is but your not so sure where your wallet is right now.

You know exactly how many Paintballs you have left right now but your not sure how much toothpaste is left in the tube.

You shower and shave BEFORE you go play paintball and not after.

There are types of food you won't eat but you've tasted a paintball just to see what it tastes like.

EVERY negative news story on paintball pisses you off and spells the end of paintball but you don't know who your local government representitives are.

You know who Tom Kaye,Bud Orr and Bob Long is but you don't know who Dennis Hastert,Bill Frist or Tom Daschle is.


:eek:

I'm thinking along the lines of a "Dawn of the Dead" scenario event.

I'd like to add keys, phone, hat, shoes to that one :)

You have dishes/laundry/general cleaning to do and no motivation to do any of it when you get your sluggo rail and you have opened/repacked/addressed it to Nicad and out the door in under 10 minutes.

[Bulldog]

Some funny ones in there, I am certainly guilty of a few, but my most recent issue would be:
My wife just recently found out that I take my wedding ring off when I touch my X-mag. Needless to say, that didn't go over so well...

[Altimas]

You know you love paintball to much when:

-You wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat...and you realize your wearing your mask
-You got a Fluffy Gun cover so you could cuddle it in your sleep
-You play with your balls all day.....What? PAINTBALLS YOU SICKO!!! Sheesh....
-Whenever you have to go to the bathroom in class you hold your hands over your head and walk out saying DEAD MAN!! DEAD MAN!!!
-You've looked down in the toilet after you were using it and said " I DONT REMEMBER EATING MARBALIZERS!!"
-Youve converted your Car to run off your 88cu 4500PSI Air System
-Everyone thinks your Cars exhaust is always back firing until they follow you somewhere and find paint on their windsheild.
-Before you get in the shower your wife shoots you with .68 Caliber Bath beads
-You have a Restraining order from people like Budd Orr and Bob Long etc...
-You have that restraining order because you dry humped them.....In the Middle of their game!!
-You sat here wondering how many you could come up with...

[ramenjames]

the sad thing is im guilty of all but like 4 of them.....(and the wife ones)

[WenULiVeUdiE]

I am guilty of a ton of them.

When you look at locations and think that would make one awesome field.

You spend half of you summer vacation building a field only see it wrecked by people on quads, then rebuild it again.

You go play paintball instead of going to you senior prom.

Take some of you doors down to use at your field.

When you spend all your money and time and paintball you cant bare the thought of a girlfreind.

When you say, are those my balls on your face (Not really a you know you are a paintballer, but close enough)

Spend 6 hours a day on forums and dont get much out of it.


Andrew

[supershifty]

When you carry a picture of your gun around in your wallet.

[Clare]

I'm guilty of a ton of those already listed

When you miss Valentine's Day to go play the Mardi Gras Open instead (Sorry Havoc!).

When you have a stained glass window of a paintball action shot rather than butterflies or flowers.

When most of your clothing has a paintball brand on it.

When you look at certain welts/scars and reminisce about how it happened and how you could have avoided it.

All your magazines are paintball related rather than Cosmo, Vogue, or Glamour (this only applies to women unless you're really secure with yourself).

You spend more time looking for cheap plane tickets to paintball events than doing stuff around the house that needs to get done right away.

You have more friends that you met through paintball than you do in 'real life'

[UltimatePaintballer]

YOUR GUN COSTS MORE THEN WHAT IS IN YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT!<--what is going to happen to me;)

you can remember a scene in a paintball movie from just seeing a picture of it in a magizine.

your whole list for christmas and b-day is paintball

you get a tingly feeling talking to tom kaye/ bud orr/ bob long... more then you would talking to jennifer aniston/ pamala anderson/jenna jameson

spend 1000+ dollars just for ADDMISSION to a paintball event.

naming your pets after paintball companies:D

[InexactMelissa]

You plaster your living room walls with field diagrams and have to scramble to take them down when the landlord knocks at the door

[tony3]

-You look in the mirror to see how high your profile is
-You sleep on the ground because you need to put your paintball gear on your bed(me:( )
-When someone says something stupid at school, you call them a newbie
-You ask everyone you know if they play paintball

I did that so my friend would let me unload half a hopper with his new Icon E. Also i spend ALL the money that amounts to more than $50 on paintball. Speaking of money, I miss money.:(

[TraXeR]

-You save your fast food boxes so you have something to send your small trade packages in (Tim Hortons timbits are good for that)

-You're a massive hippocrite about black slang (no offense) when you use more paintball terms than real words yourself.

-Your engagment ring is a oring

-all your books are covered with AGD stickers

-you make lightsets to illuminate your paintball posters

-you make custom goggle skinz for your sunglasses

-You'd rather watch a paintball movie than a oscar winning movie

-You have pictures of your gun in your wallet instead of pictures of your lover.

-You named your pets after paints (Zap, Tork, etc)

-Your teacher wants you to do a research project on history, and you think of the nelspot007... IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE!!

-You make mods for games so they have paintball in them

-Your morning alarm is a prerecorded audio version of a tournament

-You think about your next paintball trip before your ride to work

[shades]

When you get parts of your anatomy stuck in parts of your gun OR visa versa. (not guilty of this one but I have read some strange posts here. Now thats over the edge.):eek:

[snoogans]
