Am I the only one? Or maybe I'm just plain weird?

[Luke C]

Yeah, people have this vision of everyone wearing camo etc. Which really you can blame them for.

Its just when you try to explain Super Air the reaction you usually get is 'that sounds stupid' or the one that makes you feel really cool 'riiiight'

So I try not to bother explaining anymore. Maybe from now on ill just get people to watch one4one instead

someone i work with asked me if you lay down and pretend to be dead when you get shot and he was serious

HAHA! Or shout 'MEDIIIIIC!!!!'

 

[Angus41]

Yeah, i see were they come from with the army expressions. After trying to explian the concept of Sup air to friends at school they now take the p*ss out of me when i say i playing in a tournament on a sunday. Thier reaction is,'how can you have a tournamentrunning around bouncy castles!'

Then i say, 'Come to Datford and ill show you'

i hate it when at work "delta" and while im degasin a gun lil chav's ask me for that gun, or if a gun/ inferno is runnin out of gas, ppl always ask me for that gun! and i always get asked;
'how do you do rapid fire'= well stupid, it's an semi auto!
'can i shoot you marshall?' = sure, only if i can shoot you with my ego!
'can i lift my mask?(when there in the process of doin it)
i'd love to be able to shoot them, just to teech them a lesson!
(but ovcourse at delta you can't)

 

[JoeJr]

your just plain weird.

but honestly yeah it happens to me all the time.
when i tell people i play paintball there all like, yeha im well good i been like 5 times with my mates. if someone asked me about paintball a year ago id tell them about derssing up in camos and pretending to be in the army and stuff.
i suppose to people that have only ever played in the woods for a stag party or something thats all paintball is

I got asked that a lot too. I always said that it depended on where you were hit.
Head and bodyshots: You have to lay on the ground.
Arm: You can only use the other arm.
Leg: You hop around.

Some people actually believed me.

Oh, and ballin' doesn't involve bars and nightclubs per se. Ballin' is a lifestyle, involving silly luxuriousness. Like platinum grills, b*tches and hoes, stacks of money, cars and all that. Bars and stripjoints are just another piece of it, but are not requirements.
Check out any random Mike Jones, Paul Wall or Slim Thug video.

That right there, is the tragic irony that haunts our sport because I believe if our site owners were to adopt an expansionist philosophy of business and endeavour to develop the Sup' Air side of paintball, not only would we re-educate the public but we would also sew the seeds of a significant growth.

But hell, what do I know, I mean who am I to argue with our site owners, they gotta know what they're doing ........ don't they?

A Lear Jet is also an essential.

"Paintballing" is similar to "Golfing", the misses often asks this to which I reply "if it means shirking decorating and your biatching & moaning, then yes I can be found at the golf club downing G&Ts".

Golf's waaaaaaaay more ghetto than balling.

Hmmmm, was out with a lady the other night (thank you brain slugs) and she asked about the 'ball; 'Isn't it all running around in the woods dressed like soldiers?'

'Oh no, these days it's a real sport where we run around inflatable shapes dressed like power rangers in £150 plastic pyjamas.......

Coat please!'
