You know you play to much paintball when...

[Magadeth]

Your 'trendy' friends with the body art start to give themselves welts so they can look cool like you.

You decorate your house with bunkers instead of furniture.

When you are asked to put a fresh coat of paint in the dining room, you reach for your marker.

You dryfire practice snapshooting the people on tv during the late night talk shows.

Your paintball setup cost more than your car.

Every time a car backfires, you dive for the nearest cover.

When camping or hiking, all you can think is "This would make a great paintball field"

When you are shopping at the mall or in a grocery market, all you can think is "This would make a great paintbal field"

You wear your paintball gear under your normal clothes,"just in case a game breaks out"

You scoff at Navy Seals and other special forces and think they are wooses.

You keep the parts of your broken first paintball gun in a shrine.:P

[flyingdeadbody1]

when you carry your paintball gun around the house for no reason, or when you snapshoot around walls when no one is there, and bunker invisible men behind the couch.

[Codestar20]

I have done over half of those. :biglaugh:

When you've found the sweetspot on your mouse...

[blake_sw]

When you call your dog out for whiping

[Pathologic Lair]

what s sad is that i can cneck off 95 % of those things as something ive done b4 i broke my talon by cocking 8 balls into it with a fresh 12 gram and i threw a cup in the air and shot the 8 balls and the black pump thing all flew in the air but the good thing is i hit the cup with 5 balls and the pump arm

[DasBaldDog]

I feel pathetic. My apartment IS furnished with Hyperball pipe. When I watch a movie like Rush Hour 2 where money is shown, I think "I wonder how many cases of AllStar I could buy with that.". I recently went to a Titans Scrimmage game and I was talking to my friend in sentences like "Well we could split it into 2 field around the 50. Run tape at the end zone. Place bunkers at the 15, 25, and 40............" I do practice snapshooting in my apartment around corners. I play duck hunt from the other room with my cocker and practic shooting. I feel sad.

i noticed in your profile you have a freak kit for your mag, how do you like it???

[DasBaldDog]

Well, it's not really a hyperball course IN my apartment. I took piping and wrapped it around stuff like the supportbeam near the bathroom (it looked ugly). I've got a TV/Gamestation stand that has piping wrapped around it. My bed is up on cinder blocks with hyperball pipe wrapped around it. My coffee table is two tubes 2 foot high, 3 ft diameter piece of piping supporting a glass table. See the motif? Although I do have some left over that I just leave around the apartment as you could say bunkers.

[PiranhaPro]

I snapshoot at people on tv, it actually helps. Sit there for an hour, you get better at it...:)
I dont bunker anyone though...


You know you love paintball way too much when Spider looks wrong, and Spyder looks correct....I typed Spyder on something at school, my teacher looked at me with a "how the hell did you get into highschool" kinda look....hehehe

[Richy_C]

Yeah, it's really ture about the spyder thing, every time i see spider, i think, damn newbies

[Halliday]

When I bought my Shocker, 20oz co2 tank, J&J barrel and other stuff it cost $700.

I drive a 1980 Toyota Corolla. I bought it for $500.

Sad but true.

[krasher]

lol, how about having no car and only expensive paintball gear? :)

[elTwitcho]

how about having a car but being too lazy to get your license I coulda got 2 years ago

[CRUCIATUS]

i ride down the road and see could be bunkers and pretend I was behind them playing...

i look over the top of the cubes at my work and think I could gog them....

i catch myself pulling my trigger fingers at random...

ive pulled over and asked total strangers if i could have something in their yard for my field.....

i have a 14 inch stingray barrel that is brand new, but wont throw it away cause "i might use it for something"

[ciaran.mooney]

Not sure this counts exactly but it proved pball had an affect on me.

Came back from first ever time paintballing - im asked to put the washing out on the line. I walk out side and immediatly duck for cover cos im out in the open and might get shot!

Dunno why i did it!:confused:

thats the true sign of some1 who plays too much, they've tought their dog to play:biglaugh:

and you can't be good if you don't talk to your marker

[Incube]

[ErgoDyNe]

...When youve found the sweet spot on everything you can get your hands [ a stapler in Spanish today]...When, for no reason at all, you start pulling an imaginary trigger...

[blake_sw]

You know you play to much paintball when...

You beat down hippy protesters with your gun
You call your dog out for wiping
Watching TV with goggles on becomes necessary
All you can think about at church is paintball.

been there done that. if u click it into a certain position yeve got a really nice trigger pull goin on.

[Mantiss]

Jesus.... Ive done a lot of stuff listed in this forum. I didnt think I was normal, having such and obsession with paintball. Some of the things Ive done;
I get in trouble in my High School for going Pow, POW! POW! POW! and making a "gun" with my hand and pointing it at my english teacher....
My bible is my APG magazine,
my girlfriend sold me my Spyder,
I get 5 points taken off all my papers with the word "spider" in it because I spell it "Spyder" (yes, even with the capital "S"!!)
the first night I had my Spyder, i slept with it, (seriously!)
and I taught my rat to balance a paintball on its head.

So, i believe im obsessed w/ paintball.

I can think a little on Sundays, if I played on Sat. If I'm planning on playing later that Sunday, I'm a zombie in church and run to the car when service is done!
