Local Happenings (Ed what did you do!)

[JoyInTheMadness]

Alright, I don't know if any of you guys care but I found this kinda interesting so I decided to post it.

I live in a small town in eastern Nebraska. The pro-shop I use to buy all my gear and paint is Warped Sportz Omaha. I went in there the other day to pick up my cocker from a tune-n-time and I discovered something... everything Warped was gone from Warped Omaha. So I ask Walter (Uber Gun Tech and a great pal) what happened.

"Well" He says "We arn't Warped Omaha Anymore"

I ponited to his hat which had the Warped symbol on it

"It's comfortable"

Anyway, I ask him why they arn't a Warped Sportz anymore.

"Ed (owner of all Warped Sportz) stole our name" he says.

I gave him a puzzled look and he continued.

Apprantly Ed had copyrighted the vicious name (which Warped Omaha had not) and had given it to some other team that he sponsored that wanted it. So basically, he calls up Pauly (owner of Warped Omaha) and says his team can't be vicious any more. Now Pauly is a nice guy, until you piss him off. So he basically hung up on Ed and now Warped Omaha is www.NebraskaPaintball.com

So now old vicious is known as Diesel.

Anyway, just thought you guys might care.

THANK YOU JOY, for clearing up why the team Vicious was renamed Diesel...the last tournament of the season! Heh, I was wondering what was up with that. Well that is pretty ridiculous, cant believe Ed Poorman would actually go ahead and do that. Well his loss, he shoulda offered Pauly something for the team them boys really roll!

I really have never seen Pauly so pissed off. It was almost as bad as the time the kid with the StingRay Shot him.

I have never met Ed in person before, but I have yet to talk to someone who said he was a geniune guy. Everyone has said he seemed shadey/seedy/backhanded/etc.

Ed is really kinda wierd... My mom thinks he's a stoner, and that he's just into pullin this kinda **** for the money... I played with him at the field in kearney a couple weeks ago, and he wasnt as bad as you'd think.
