SIGNS YOU ARE PLAYING TOO MUCH PAINTBALL:
While walking through the mall, you secretly decide that it would make a really good speedball course.*
You start using hand signals to tell co-workers where the office supplies are.
You don't buy a new bbq grill because "for that price I could get 3 cases of Pro ball".
You don't feel weird wearing camo around the house on non game days.
You have spent more on your paintball gun, than on your wife's anniversary present.
You are on a first name basis with any UPS driver.
You hear a loud noise and you immediately duck and look for cover.
You have pallets stacked up in your back yard.
You have memorized the sizes and model requirements for allen wrenches.
You develop a "paintball budget"
A $1200.oo auto-cocker doesn't seem that unreasonable
You don't make a cousin's wedding because the moron wanted to have it on a Saturday.
You have your very own stupid webpage about it.

Here's how I know I'm playing too much ... as you know I've got a bum knee and have been in a brace for about six weeks now ... today I went to the field to shoot some photos, why, well, because I can't play ... anyway, I'm seeing some shots I want, but they're in the middle of the field, so I stroll over to where some guys are behind a bunker, oblivious to the paint that's whizzing all around, just stroll right on up and shoot a couple of frames and then walk back off the field, like I'm paint proof or something ... anyway, I'll post some of the photos later.

[Creek]

Muck its too bad your not here,if you try to get shots of me at a bunker you'd be a painted mess.Cause in the games I play most of the guys I go up agaist try too take me out off the bat.Reason is I find the best out there and chase that sucker all day.Lets say I never last the whole game most of the time. But i rather learn and get better than sit back and count how many people I mark.If you play the best you get better all the time.

[Paint Bulley]

you only take your mask off to eat - or you have found a way to eat with your mask on so you never have to take it off.

[Skull]

suckin dehidrated food through straws!!... that auta work out

[martlet1]

hey, don't laugh, I have used a super straw to drink gatoraid through my mask during 24 hour games.

[giller]

how bout . you walk around your housein your underware at 3 am with a flash light and your marker clearin each room of your house while the family is asleep. at work you decide that it would be a good place to play a hostage terr., or terr, ct scenario game after every one is gone.or you (fakee)sneek around your job ()fakee) markin your fellow unsuspecting workers lolol

Jason and Garry. Jason delivered my wife's SE, my lapco drop foreward w/ pure energy tank and on a third occasion, a case of el tigre with my goggle skins.
Garry delivered my STS and then another time my wife's pure energy. They are the only two ups guys I've seen in five deliveries. I have google skins for my wife on the way with another case of el tigre and a new eggalution hopper. I can't wait to try out that hopper. The guy at the local pro shop recognizes my voice on the phone and wishes I would buy something other than bottle caps o-rings and that hopper cover when I come in for my weekly visit, but the internet is so much cheaper. I play twice a month though so I wouldn't say I play too much. I would say I don't play enough.

[MuckRaker]

My wife bought some plants at Lowes, they were in little plastic containers ... I emptied the containers, nailed them to trees and the fence in the back yard and made my own target range. Of course, I'm injured and can't play for a while ... hey, I gotta do something to stay in practice.

[giller]

your at a red light after leavin the pb feild and notice that you still have your mask on. because the car next to you is lookin at you funny.

hehe... i have actually done that many times. i have walked through my town thinking how cool it would be to play paintball in the streets and i have also thought about what it would be like to play in my high school.

[iipaintballer]

You get a job at a paintball store to pay for your habit...

urgh... paintball...

[checkyourhopper]

Here's one. You know you have a problem if you can play connect the dots with the bruises on your thigh.

[MuckRaker]

You have no descernible life outside of paintball, so to fill the void between trips to the field, you start posting stuff on a paintball related Web site, then, you become a moderator on that site ... wait ... I'm describing my life :eek: !! ARRGGGHHHHH

[giller]

i was just about to say something like that lol




you join a forum and reach a "god"status in less than a month.

[Paint Bulley]

173 in 6 days, that is crazy.

[dawgs712]

that really is disgusting. thats 30 post a day.say you sleep 8 hrs. thats about 2 posts an hour-constantly

[iipaintballer]

Yeah, I had like 30-40 posts a day for the first few days. But, now there are not as many things to post new answers to.... dropped down to 10-15. Paintball 101 for me and for you!

[dawgs712]

ii-you got rid of yur sig, why

[KoRnMaN]

Hey giller your lucky you only load a half a case of balls. One time I 3 cases through my loader.

[ghosthunter]

anyone have anymore of those top ten reasons about to much paintball there damn funny.- also playing in a real town with maybe some sourrounding woods would kick ***- now that would be a great scenario

[KoRnMaN]

I have a magazine with them in it.

[martlet1]

where is that , in action pursuit? ive been looking for more of them. We went to a big game and they gave us a magazine from zap, and they had some in there, but they were kind of dated.
I went to our local mall last night. They have all these little huts and **** in the middle of the isles. its a PERFECT speedball course.
There is a bar at the end of one wing of the mall, and they stay open till 1 am. so we have seriously been thinking about sneaking out of the bar into the mall and playing a pump game in there. The bar is at an angle so they can't see in the main mall area. its so friggin tempting. Its not burglary either unless they can prove you are stealing or doing deliberate property damage, so if we get arrested we are looking at a 50 dollar tresspass ticket and a 50 dollar illegal use of an airgun ticket.
They dont have alarms either for motion, but they do on the doors. so it may be hard to get out without a problem.... and there is no security after 10 p.m. We are in a pretty rural area, so it will take about 5 mins or so for the cops to get there....... muahahahahahah!
