FatMan's Guide to Paintball for Old Farts

Back when I was a spritely 34 years old I got into paintball. As a newby I had a lot of important lessons to learn, the most critical of which were documented in "Walt's Thoughts on Paintball" (http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...threadid=17654

LOL Thanks.. and I will be sure to use this to my advantage next time I talk with him.

For those of you who do not connect the "Phil" he is referring to...its me! cphilip. This is Dr. Walt Ligon that has finally joined our ranks. I have referred to Walt many times as you know. He is my mentor, friend and he is my paintball Idol. He introduced me to Mags and he is responsible for me being what I am. Well partly! Walt can still play with the best of them. But only for a little while. He has a keen sense of Humor and extremely intelligent and a bit sick too! I hope he will stay around and share with us. Everyone please welcome Walt aka "Fatman" to the Forum.

Cool! I don't feel so old as part of this sport at 27 now. Keep up the good work.

[shartley]

Well.... I just showed this to Kim (my Wife) and she gives you the thumbs up. LOL It was the FIRST and ONLY thing I have shown her from AO that made her laugh (or that she even found remotely funny).

I also just submitted it for Publishing as an Article on RumbleMe.com (I am sure the WILL put it up. ).

Oh.. and sorry for not welcoming you before... WELCOME!

I can usually be walking normal by wed. after a sun. game.
Since I quit using a remote I found that an oxygen bottle fits in the 4+1 nicely.
The look on the face of a 20 yr old after he found out he was outgunned by a 40+ year old is priceless!
I can think faster than they can run.
I know how you feel FatMan. But I don't feel like an "Old Fart".

[Tunaman]

HAHAHA!

That has got to be the funniest thing I ever read. Hey Phil...You have your hands full with this guy! Sounds like a real blast! Welcome to AO Fatman! BUWHAHAHAHA!

[bunkerking]

hey fatman, I hope you don't mind but I put a little quote from that in my sig. That is hillarious! You are a funny guy.

[Mango]

LMAO!!! Thats GREAT! HAH!! Excellent article FatMan! And sorry I dident welcome you before! So..

WELCOME!!

[M-a-s-sDriver]

GAG COUGH!!!!...
Jesus man that was funny. I just want to know when you saw my bunker-trip-on-face-move that you refer to. I have a copyright on that. I'm gonna go puke now, and hit the bowflex so that I get hungry, eat a lot and gain more weight.

I've found a new hero!

You forgot a few things, though:
Use that credit card to buy the most intimmidating clothing you can find to keep the people that have actually never saw you play from coming after you! At 6'4 240 lbs., I've used this to my advantage more times than I want to (or can) remember.
Also, don't forget the Flex-All rub for the ride home (put it on in the car after you leave the field and feel free to cry from the pain at that time).
Cultivate a group of younger good players that you can hang out with. Even if you're too old (senile) to learn anything from them, they'll feel sorry for you and not light you up too bad.
