AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Used to have a couple guys come out to our field years ago with white button ups and suit coats on - mobish/blues brothers looking outfits.
Had their guns inside a guitar case and some other musical instrument case - Sniper II and a PMI Pump if I remember correctly.
Also use to have a group of guys come out with their jock straps and cups on the outside of their pants, and some type of small plastic animal head mounted to the front of it.
Then there were the guys that always wore blue-jean overalls( sweet look if you do it with no shirt under it btw ) And the ever popular giant foam cowboy hat.... all kinds of funny things in the good ole days
That's back when people came out to play paintball for fun though.
Styg
Those guys remind me of someone....who could it.....OH! ME! Well, I wans't either of these guys, but my self image has been crushed now that I know I didn't think of it first.
I say kilt and highlander tunic! Show the agg kiddies that you're not afraid of their ramped up 280 fps painting hoses .
Yes!
I have been meaning to get a Kilt to wear at a few scenarios. Only problem is I am always the Germans...Yeah.
I would recommend you go to a local thrift or fabric store. Last time I was at one I saw a really cheap indian head dress type thing for all of $5. Stuff like that...
Lets see, YB used to wear a black suit, O Pawlok (sp) used to wear a tartan patern outfit and my friend Bob used to go out with a mad hatters hat and his girlfriends bikini bottom. Oh we used to like lighting him up.....
If I rememeber correctly, Oh Powlak had Unique make him some packs with the Tartan pattern on them too didnt he?
I never did see Youngblood in his suit, anyone have pictures of that?
It was refreshing to see about 6 guys at the Michigan Monster game out there wearing dresses and playing :) And no... the dresses were not very flattering!!! Few other costumes were out there, funny faces on masks, someone was wearing a polka dotted clown costume - anyone else that was there see anythign funny?
Kind of. More like this (I have no highlander tunic either....but I want one):

Am I the only one that thinks that is sort of stupid?
I play outdoors, wear camo, wear stuff that keeps me cool but helps me blend in to the surroundings. Dressing up like it's Halloween on the crazy farm never occurred to me. Now, in speedball, I guess it's different...camo probably useless...but I think you still want something that's lightweight, cool in the summer, maybe padded to give you some bounce, and low profile. Putting on a bannana suit is probably not the best idea ever come up with. Doesn't make sense to me.
For those of you wanting to wear your jocks externally and decorate them... You are closet codpeice junkies.. Might I suggest you look at ---> http://www.codpiece.org/
Other silly things that I or friends have worn on a woodsball field.
Old girlfriend - Red high tops
Various - Hawiian print shirts
Jim - A Donald duck hat
Me - Mickey Mouse ears
Pretty sure someone covered the Goofy hat but not realy sure.
This kid used to play at out local field in clown pants and rainbow suspenders and thats it! no jersey, t-shirt or even tank top. Brave but not too smart
