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

Our Front man max rushed the far sides 40 without a gun, and won the game by bunker taggin the 17 players, ending the game in about 1min.

I was pulled to the side of the hall by a teacher who questioned how if my father has hit me before.. haha


Here are some others,

One of the first things you (want to) do when you get your license for the first time is drive down to your local pro shop to talk with all the employees.

You've applied (multiple times) to your local pball store to get a job

you come up with slogans to yell as you bring the flag to the opposing teams side of the field after you max them (FIVE HOES IN THE BACK!!!)

You almost envy midgets... well, little people because they could play twice as tight as you

You've grown out an afro ( I have extremely curly hair) to catch bounces off your dome... and it works!

You yell at a friend because his gun is dusty

Anyone you've ever talked with knows you play paintball... and that you think there is something wrong with them because they dont

You know your... When on a busy, understaffed saturday at work you set up a field in the back of the resturant and play pb with water guns you bought on your break. We also even had refs! No joke this a true story maybe thats why i just got fired!

[JT2002]

wow lol. u must of not really cared for that job too much to go make a field on an understaffed day and play water paintball lol

[reefer madness]

once i was at a party and started telling this girl about my paintball exploits and my gun. for some weird reason she didnt think i was very cool...

1. You figure out expenses in terms of Pb gear and paint (EX: $400 dollars for a entertainment system, $400 will get me a really nice tank...)

2. You are on a first name basis with every field in town.

3. You spend more time picking out a drop forward than you do a piece of clothing.

4. You think models would be prettier if they were holding a marker.

5. You manage to tell people that you play paintball within five minutes of meeting them.

6. Every where you go you look for paintball fields. (I actually saw one when when I was TDY in Kuwait last summer!!! Cool, huh?)

7. You have several ideas for your own trigger frame.

8. A paint marker is the answer to all of you problems.

9. You spend the majority of your paycheck on gear.

10. It takes you three months to buy a paint marker because you have to research everything.

11. Your marker cost more than most people's first cars.

12. You can break down the various marker types and explain the differences to people.

13. You walk around pulling an "air trigger" so you can work your fingers faster and thereby shooting faster.

14. You set your schedule around paintball.

15. You think there should be more female players so you could hook up, and not have to worry about her getting mad at you for playing all the time.

16. You read this thread, and realize you are not alone.

17. You might be the founding member of PBA "Paint Ballers Anonymous". Though you won't stop.


later,

when the dorr bell rings or the phone rings you duck because you think someone is shooting at you

[xLoHungWangx]

...you have to barrow money from your 6 year old brother to buy paint...

...the local pro shop knows you by name and you have a running tab with them...

...the first thing you think about when you wake up is paintball...

...the last thing you think about before you go to sleep is paintball...

...you run around your house with your gun shooting at family members and pets saying "I woulda soooo lit you up right there"...

...you bust into your dad's office with your gun shooting at him and his clients...

...you shoot paintball guns at work even if you can outshoot them...

[paint magnet]

...you regularly do finger exercises in hopes to improve your trigger speed

...someone insults you and your comeback is 'well I can rip 14 bps on my mag'

...you know what a 14 way is, how to time a cocker, troubleshoot a mag and build a Matrix from scratch but when you take your car to the mechanic none of what he says makes any sense

...for everyone's special events (weddings, birthdays, etc) you try to find an excuse to play paintball or involve it in some way

...you look at a paintball poster and pay more attention to the marker than the model

...you can flip open any paintball magazine and name any marker and the acessories on it almost instantly

...you've ever been involved in a fight over who's marker was prettier

...you spend more money on the stuff you put on your marker than it cost new - and the gun is an Angel

...you wonder why people consider cheerleading, golf and curling (if you don't know what that is visit usacurling.com) sports but not paintball.

...at school you have completely covered your bookbag, notebooks, and papers with paintball logos, stickers, and slogans

when you meet someone you try and work paintball into the conversation as soon as you can
