Or from the pulpit, while delivering the message, you get the urge to "air-bunker" a parishioner that you know play paintball too. (all the while thinking how great a bunkering position the pulpit would be - if this was a game)

Heh, lets see, I guess I'd be a shocker... due to bad air effeciency (asthma and allergies), heavy weight and large size (self explanatory) , but I'm not quiet. So I don't know what I'd be. Maybe a... um... whatever

You've ever turned off the TV during a major sporting event like the super bowl or the final 4 because it was distracting you from cleaning your paintball gear.

...and you had money on the game.

...and you have already cleaned your paintball stuff 3 times.

You buy a car and your only concern is if you can make it to the field with all your stuff and not have to drive back to your house for the rest.

You have more equipment than the field.

...including markers.

You have ever played a game without a gun just to be playing . (hey, I almost made it to the flag :) )

You have ever thrown paint instead of calling yourself out.

You skip lunch to buy another case of paint for your baby to eat instead :)

(By the way, Radio Shack employees don't know much about Intellifeed. They can help you with hopper timers and maybe even mask fans however )

You say something someone who doens't play doesn't understand, and even if you weren't talking about paintball they assume you were.

You buy your shoes according to how well they will feel when playing.

Most of your normal clothes have paintball logos on them.

All of your normal clothes have paintball logos on them.

...and they are just stickers to save money for more paintball stuff.

The only reason you own a computer is to check out cool paintball stuff online.

You read P8nt, APG, PB2X and Facefull before even thinking about picking up the paper.

You also check out online paintball comics and ignore the news that pops up when you sign on.

...and it causes you to be behind in the news ( "Hey, the earth's supply of drinkable water will run out in a year and Saddam Hussein burned down all the rainforests." "Yeah whatever, but man, have you SEEN the new ULE bodies?!?")

You've ever called in sick to play paintball.

...and the only reason you went back to work was so you could pay for more paintball stuff.

People thinks your dad beats you because of all your welts and bruises

[Fat Llama]

...if you've ever asked a doctor if he could surgically attach a low pressure regulator to help lower your blood pressure.

[johnny dee]

you know when your obsessed when...

you hold the guns at the arcade real close to your body, like your trying to get in a bunker.

tell your friends your buisy, so you can sit at home and clean your gear.


skip 4th 5th and 6th period on a friday to get to the field before it opens.

[elpimpo]

5 min after i got into class this nurse person comes into my class and gets me out and has me si down with her and she says some of the staff is conserned that you have been burning your self. i was like no i was playing paintball. she was like whats that. so i explaned it. she go oh so you shoot each other and when you get hit a ball blows up and leaves scars. i was ummm ya sure that works. they called my mom in after that and asked her about it.

[JT2002]

lol, i know they mean good but sometimes the school is just too dam nosey (sp?)

[elpimpo]

it was pretty funny. i had one on my cheech it hurt sooooo bad

[Creecher]

You know it's bad when...

You're thinking...if I sell my car and only ride my bike to work...I can afford that marker I really want.

You're thinking...kids college savings...they should be able to work and get scholarships...can't they.

You're thinking...I don't want to do anything in a lite sprinkle but I'll play paintball in the middle of a hurricane.

You're thinking...how to translate paintball into other languages before even learning how to order a beer.

[Josh2Xtremes]

Well here goes...

I don't know if these have been said, forgive me if they have I'm not trying to steal anyone's thunder, but I'm not about to read through five pages of this silliness to find out. You know you're addicted to paintball...

...when the paintball gear is worth more than the car it's riding in (and the car is a loaded 2002 Chevy truck in my case)

...when you brag about meeting Tom Kaye to people who don't actually play paintball.

...when you know what Tom Kaye's real name is (and tell that to people who don't actually play too)

...when it wasn't called a KP-3 it was called a "Sheridan Rifle

...when constant air was the "new hotness"

...when your first AGD product was a "Six Pak"

...if you've ever been scared shi!tless of a "SMiG 60"

...if you remember "trees" (kids you can't inflate those)

And one more for the less humble me
You know you're addicted to paintball...
...when Bea Youngs stays at your house.

[paint magnet]

I actually have bragged about meeting Tom Kaye to people who don't play. And my uncle's name is Tom Kay (no 'e') if you were wondering :)

..if you not only know Tom's real last name but also know where it came from, and how to spell it correctly. (Koustiopolous? Koustopolis? Kerioadsfl;ksajdf

Bea Youngs....staying.....at...my....house....

When you back out on a date to go to a school dance because a tournament came up.
