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

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.

Errrr... I actually used to know guys who played with those rules. If BOTH legs got shot you had to sit down and not move. Of course, they also played paintball because they thought they were in training for the Apocalypse so they very well could have been a bit touched in the head.

I suppose, like golf, you could PLAY paintball or GO paintballing. The latter does sound a bit odd I suppose, but nothing to get angry about. Try to relax.

i've given up trying to explain sup-air, people think your crazy running round a field fill of inflatables shooting eachother

Well, think about it objectively. If you've never actually SEEN a paintball game, the idea of grown men running around to hide behind balloons and shoot colored paint capsules at each other (at great expense, I might add) DOES sound pretty silly. But then, if you break down like that, ANY sport does.

Actually that raises another classic question??

Do head shots count ???

Even if they didnt Eric, the five or six other shots on my body would have

Mowed!

nah.. ballin' predates Hip hop by 10 /20 years....... just ask Scorsese

I.E

"hey Johnny I saw you at the Sinatra thing with that Jew broad from 5 points, how did it go ?, did you ball her ? "

"Sure Pauly we was ballin all night dem Jew broads got a lot of pent up aggression you know what I mean ..eeeaayy "

"eeeayyy" etc

see ...

Sorry to have to correct you, but that is the same word, but means a whole different thing. There balling simply means to have sexual intercourse. A good many examples of the word balling being used in this meaning can be seen in the famous Woodstock documentary.
However, the word ballin' as used in Ebonics is at least as old, but means a whole scala of things, as explained above.
Another word in common usage in modern day Ebonics is flossin'. It has nothing to do with dental hygiene.

fixed. my sig is aimed at making you less sensitive, to joe public, and it makes me laugh

Are you aware of the fact that you say "are YPU paintballing" in your sig, rather than "are YOU paintballing"?

Just thought I'd ask...
