    Oh dear, I've been parodied. Ok then...


    ...If you play in the woods, only bcasue that's what the local fild has, but you wear bright jerseys.

    You've ever worn your 'ballin gear to school, work, or the lke, and been asked if you Motocross.

    You've ever bought an upgrade to match the anno job on your gun, not becasue you needed it over the other part.

    You've ever filled your trunk with junk to go play, then carry the bare minimum of belongings on the field to play.

    You've ever spent more than $300 on clothing to play paintball.

    You know that a dorito is at least 6 fot tall, a tco is 3 foot tall, and you like crawling with snakes.

    X-Ball is "Da bomb". (Or whatever you hipsters say. l337? 3l3373? 0010011001001?)

    You see guys wearing camo and think "Newb". You see a guy wearing camo with a pump gun and you think "WTF?"

    Related : You've seen somoene with a pump gun and asked "Where's your hopper?"

    You've ever carried 10+ pods on your back knwing you'd be rid of it all when you get done with that game.

    You can toss a pod 50 feet in any given direction to get it out of the way. If there was a competition you could probably toss it over your shoulder, off the back corner pipe, and into a wastebasket if you wanted to.

    Cleats are so old school. Now you want paintball shoes with spikes.

    you can richochet balls from the 50 taco to the 45 pipe to the back corner double and gog someone.

    You know both reasons "TIMMAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" is funny.

    Dave Youbgblood makes kick-rump gear (swear filter, sorry) only. He never played paintball, did he? Related, Daryll Trent is the coach of the Philly Americans, And Zach Long came out of "nowhere" to play x-ball.

    You've drooled over a +$1000 gun while looking at your own and thinking "I need one of those."

    I'll think of more later. I'm supposed to be working...

                  Well I am about to include myself in the "here's your sign" group.
                  What the heck does 1337 mean?
                  Is this another one of those 420 things?

                      agreeing with a previous post....
                      you are in high school, and yes, your gun is worth more than any amount of money you have ever held in your life. then you get a job to pay it off...and when asked, "so, why do you want this job," you reply with, "I really want some financial independence *COUGH* and to pay off my 900 dollar gun..." then your friends at school ask you how much you have spent on your paintball gun and you reply with "ummmm, about 900 dollars..." they laugh and say, "oh. you were serious about that..." and they leave you, but it doesnt matter because you can shoot more balls per second than they can, and they have no idea what they are missing.

                        when your friends laugh at you for spending 1000+dollars on your gear, just to shoot little ball of gelatin, when they can do it with their way cool super neto blades, and shoot peoples mailboxes to boot

                          - when any game other than centerflag push is a foriegn concept

                          - when hiding behind anything other than a man made object makes you real nervous

                          - you dont know what AGD, wgp, or wdp means

                          - you go to your local store to get your gun "tunned"

                          - you take your gun in for a trigger job, even though you own a multple point adujustable trigger set and have no clue how to use it

                          - you think mags are newb guns

                              When your current setup costs twice as much as the car you use to drive to the field.
                              It came to a point in my life when it was either pay the rent or buy paintball gear. I think I made the wise choice. If anyoneone needs me I'm livin in a van down by the river.
