Paranoid Parents & Paintball 2

[FooTemps]

Hm... I'm looking for more help... You know the drill...

[Dubstar112]

make your parents a deal.. like youll work harder at school if they let you get a pb marker.. ask them what it would take to let you play and have your own marker

try having them talk to other parents who have kids in teh sport

and we could always try to have one of them snail mail convincing thingys TRANSLATION= everyone on the board sends a letter addressed your your parents asking politley to let you play!

[Miscue]

Get a job, buy a Mag, hide it under the bed. Haha. (That's kinda what I did actually...)

Dude, get your Dad to play with you. My Dad loves it. He doesn't really like my using up money to upgrade but he asks lots of questions(some I can't answer) and he likes the sport. He's just a little worried that is takes too much money. And he's a Lawyer hehe

Hm... the first one didn't work... I tried it about 4 weeks ago. The second one I can't really find someone's parents who encouraged or allowed their kid to play.

DO THE THIRD OPTION! PM ME FOR THE ADDRESS AND DON'T SEND ME ANTRHAX!!!

[Miscue]

Haha... That would be funny. If a whole bunch of us wrote letters saying it's ok.

I'm willing if others do.

My dad is too old to even walk at a fast pace. He's having heart problems right now so he can't. He's also the non physical type that says lots of extreme or rough sports are bad. He says paintball, skateboarding, blading, football, rugby, bmx, motorcross, autocross racing, and hunting is bad.

so if youd like to help foo out pm him for his addy, and we will agree on the context of the letter when we get a couple more people

That was what I was planning to do. I'm planning on buying e_magman's old mag and having him ship it to my friend. Then I'm gonna cover it up by buying a competition RC...

Good idea? NO! but it's a last resort...

[Miscue]

I think this calls for a coordinated effort. Any ideas?

[DrEvil]

competion RC? ....
oh yeah hunting is not bad

[Dubstar112]

Miscue, we should get a couple other people, and all send a message with the same idea... but we dont want any nasty-grams for other people thinking of this!

How could we send you your anthrax? j/k, i know what you ment.

hmm, that RC car idea sounds good, but if everyone else sends letters, i will.

1. asking nicely
2. sucking up
3. arguing
4. reason
5. second opinion
6. being persistant
7. being nicer
8. arguing harder
9. "screw you I'm going anyways"
10. "WAHH!!! I WANT IT!!! WAHH!!!"
11. trying to get better grades (I have A, A+, A-, B, B+, B-)
12. threatening to take drugs
13. ::sigh:: depression act
14. silent treatment
15. loud treatment
16. smartassness
