you know your a paintball junkie when...

[spiked_bad_monkey]

when your girlfriend dumps you because your paintball gear gets more attention that she does

when you walk through wal-mart, see an isle or rack of cloths or something of the like & think "i could so play that bunker"

when, while at work, your fingers are constantly "walking"

when you think girls that play paintball are hotter than models

when you get really aggrivated when you see what hollywood does with paintball (ex. no goggels, gun shooting with no loader, ect.)

when you hear the "game start/game over" buzzer go off for a long time only to wake up & realize it's your alarm clock

when you have a picture of your favorite gun on your phone instaed of your significant other

when the shop owner hires you as a gun-tech because he's tired of you fixing guns in his shop for free

when you carry duct tape in your box to keep noobs from lifting their goggle during a match

when you take out loans or use all of your tax return for gun or gun upgrade purchases

when not a day goes by that you dont think about paintball

when all you see around you no matter where you are is "bunkers & angles"

when you see a movie & all you can think about is how to turn it into a senario game

when you have more "war stories" than an actual war veteran

when you can actually taste a difference in different paint

when you know more about a gun than the manufacturer

when you would take a day off of work to play paintball but not to celebrate your significant others birthday

when you laugh when people see you wearing your paintball jersey in public & the first thing they ask is if you ride a dirtbike

when, at your funeral, you've requested a 21 paintball gun salute

when you die, your cremated & your ashes are spread at the local field

when the first thing you do when you get a new gun is take it apart just so you'll know how to work on it if need be

i'll probably think of more later, almost all of these apply to me or have happened to me lol

[spiked_bad_monkey]

just thought of one more

when all of your top friends on your myspace page include paintball magazines & pro players

[DanMan]

...when you doodle classic mags on you church bulleten.

[Empyreal Rogue]

You needlessly buy paintball gear when you know you can't afford.

You justify any purchases you know you can't make with, "But it was such a good deal!" or, "But that's not made anymore!"

[MournBlade]

when you can actually taste a difference in different paint

When you can tell the brand of paint and its age solely by taste.

Fixed.

[mpsd]

When you spend more time surfing pb forums then doing your job

Now you described me!!!

[rawbutter]

When you drive down the freeway and everytime you see some land with trees & brush you think "that would make a good field".

[dixieoutfitter94]

You know your a good gun whore/pbjunkie when you earn an average of 20 bucks a week and own 5 markers, a bunch of gear and can still play.

when you have a bad habit of making gun noises with your mouth out of no where.

When you have atleast 20 empty 12 grame co2 cartriges laying around your room.

Here's another for NU_METAL: If you dad buys you a brand new zero turn lawn mower and you turn it into a tank.

If you have ever almost been grounded for saying "I bunkered a girl to day" to your mom.

If you find rebals in diffrent places of you house when you dont even have any.


This thread is giving me something to think about when I'm bored at school!

[hulk]

when you run around your house pretending to shoot people because you have no money to play. :) i win every time!

[Bear_Claw]

HEHE these are funny.

- You know your a paintball junkie when as your at work taking apart a school bus door release handle you realize the spring for the lock would work perfectly to lighten that trigger pull on your old Pro/Carbine (i gotta be the only one for that stunt, And yes it was the perfect spring)

- You know your a Ex paintball junkie When you have more pictures on your computer of Paintball guns than anything else and you been out of the game for a few years LOL.


I used to be a paintball junkie but i found my cure (MOTORCYCLE). Other part of that cure is a morgage payment and all on a mechanics paycheck.

Edit: I still play now and then but far from near as offen as back in college.

[hulk]

when you ether march on graduation or you do to D-day. D-day!!!!!!!!!!i hope they have to pick a new date for graduation.

[Lohman446]

You tell your girlfriend to sit in the back seat because the front is for my Ego...

What's wrong with that?

Oh... you meant the paintball gun ego.. sorry

[sandfreestyle]

when you skip your biology final to go pick up ur new gun

when your girlfriend knows the difference between a lvl 7 and a lvl 10

when you pay more for a gun than a car

when you travel to Tampa (from California) just to watch a tournament

when people in other states call you to come up and play

when you sell your street bike inorder to pay for a few new guns

[spiked_bad_monkey]

(thanks for the fix MournBlade i was just jotting them down as they came to me)

when you notice what kind of gun a splat girl is holding a split second before you notice the boobs

when any time you hear a buzzer, wistle, or air horn, no matter where you are, you get the urge to sprint to the nearest "bunker" hoping not to get shot out

when you say good morning/good night to your paintball gear

when you see a real gun in a movie or game & think "i wonder if i could make my mag look like that"

[tippett]

you can tune a LVL 10 and ULT or properly set the regulators on any gun and time an Autococker, but you can't seem to remember to put the toliet seat down after use.

you get emotional when recieving a new marker.

you tell your equipment you love it more then you tell your girlfriend you love her.

for the last six months you have been recommending a paintball day at work to help team building but not because you really want to help build the team but because you want to get paid to play paintball for a day.

someone talks about getting some Doritos you instantly think about the time you were pinned down by three opposing players...

you hate snakes but love the snake.

woodsball enters your vocab on a regular basis.

doctors wonder about the marks on your body and begin to expect some mistreatment at home.

you live on mac and cheese because food cuts into your paintball budget.

you show up at a family gathering wearing paintball clothes because you just came from a game and only stoped by because the family house is between one field and another and the next game is starting in about 30 minutes.

people refer to you as a paintball junkie but not because you play because you are always trying to recruit more players.

the last time you played was the most fun you ever had (this one works after every game).

you believe nothing goes better with alchol then paintball.

you google paintball just to see how many new hits there are everyday.

when others are debating current events or politics you are debating the dependablity of markers made overseas and the longevity of the newest marker.

when Pbn starts to make sense.

you are in training for the 2012 Olympics because you have a feeling paintball will be the newest event.

you believe if the Olympics won't recognize paintball then for sure the Xgames will which are better because they are on ESPN every year which means more games and no bad judging by the Olympic committee.

you name each marker you own after family members that way you will always remember the family members name.

you have had two wives and are still single and not looking for a third unless you find one at the field with as many markers as you that way you both bring the same thing to a marriage.

you youtube yourself playing just to relive the memories and hope someone watching it might be looking for a good frontman.
