Paintball - Non Paintball names.

[Kat]

The thing I find the funniest is when somebody who knows only a bit about paintball spouts off as if they are the world's premier authority on the subject.

You can normally spot them at your local site or at most events, they are generally vastly overweight, name-drop like hell, have an ugly wife who's easily impressed, maybe managed to secure one GCSE (Art) and works at a dead-end job ..... and to cap it all, when you put a marker in their hand and say 'show me', they play like an epileptic hippo and run like they just crapped their pants ...and end up getting shot more times than Colonel Custer.

Don't ya just love 'em

There's nothing wrong with a GCSE in art!!

It's only bad if you manage to fail it!

It's hardly a GCSE though is it...

I have one.

It's a funny one though, it's easy to pass but very hard to get a good mark.

I got a B but I know people who's work was far better than mine getting lower grades, marked based partly on opinion so its funny.

Or the ones that are slightly awestruck when they see a "transformer" walking by (a player in the shiniest and latest gear), but feel the need to get a piece of one-upmanship...
They always start a chat and display interest, but must say something to take away some of your cool, and the way they do it is by making the US some far away magical land...
"You know that in America (they never say US, always America) there are guys playing paintball snipers. They participate in games that last a week and hide in far flung corner of the field for two or three days, before they let off one shot and shoot a guy from 800 yards out."

Sure they do buddy.

I would regard anybody failing Art as achieving more koudos than one passing it actually

But to genderfy (not even sure if that is a word) art, politics and the social sciences are for the chicks with Maths/chemistry/physics being for the men


PS Economics is for hermaphrodites !

I'd prefer to reclassify these type players as gutless landmines displaying about as much skill as a carpet.

I love carpet. I love desk. I love lamp.

Robbo, are you just looking at things in the room and using them as similes?




Ah, we are laughing....
Sorry, I've had a few...

The carpet metaphor was because so called paintball snipers just lay there and do nothing ..... much like a carpet

And come to think of it, this fearsome bunch always tend to lay on their tummies when waiting which provokes the notion they must be thrusting their loins into mother earth in the vain hope they might grow some balls.
I always knew there was method to their madness
