Wow, that is a tough question guppy! As for the magic 1000, well, it inches nearer all the time, doesn't it? I don't spend a tremendous time online, as you'd imagine by posting so much and my usual lengths it does accelerate one's typing speed a bit, eh? Just as long as people ask questions that I have some kind of answer to, I just read, think for a minute and/or as I go, and about a minute or so later BAM! another piece of literature. Dunno if it's quite really that much of a pursuit, but just a sort of distinction that I think would add a bit to the last 9 months or so that I've spent here. Interestingly enough, I got into the race while over in England and didn't have access to IRC, where I gather a lot of my paintballing info along with Dale Ford's FB Radio show. I saw a few questions here and there in the tech section that I had a good bit of knowledge about, plus all my various odds and ends of experiences, a few of which occurred while over there and I wrote about them as they happened. Ever read the saga of getting my Cocker sent over? It should give you a good laugh or two, maybe even vomit.
Cooking I take a fair bit of pride in, and when I'm not too exhausted from work I'll whip up a batch of the familiar about half the time then go with the new stuff the other half. Every now and again I'll venture home and cook for my family, sometimes gaining a new recipe from them in the process. Shopping in Asian and Mediterranean food markets is something I do about once a week, sometimes spending an hour or more getting lost among the variety of fresh and/or exotic ingredients, some of which have to be identified visually rather than by print. It gives me variety to kick around and add in new dimension to existing recipes or totally improvise on the spot.
In total, I'd say I balance the cooking and paintball rather well, often with the cooking bit getting ahead because there are more days of the week that I can do that and I can't eat a case of paint at 4:45am for breakfast. Paintball I spend more money on because, well, I don't buy anything as expensive or travel with cooking as often. The hot chicks? Well, those can come in at any point in time no matter what I'm doing! Bringing in an already honed appetite for paintball is preferred, but I'm always up for bringing anyone new into the sport no matter who they are. All that is needing is interest, no "Oh I don't want to get dirty", in which case they would be out the door in 10 seconds no questions asked, and of course a little cash...though of course I'll definately fork out some at the beginning, I can't exactly buy an Adrenalin LCD for every date, now can I? (Eventually the supply would dry up anyway because there aren't that many out there...) Maybe one day, but hopefully it'll be just for one by that point! Don't mind at all getting jerseys printed for them if I can afford it at the time. Hey, and a headband or sockhat plus a pack full of paint always looks great on them, don't ya think? I'd say that paintballing chicks and paintball go hand in hand, cooking works in (lasts forever too...always no matter what need to eat!), and really if I had to call one of them off but won't need to I could slow down on the posting. But hey, I'm just about to that goal, so chalk that one up as mission accomplished
Hopefully it won't take me as long to win the prized company of a marvelous female paintballing companion. Cooking, well, I have a few possibilities to excel in which I have one or two in motion already. Hopefully as this season and next roll along I'll be able to achieve paintballing greatness. I shall do my best. It's a great community that is by far the best of which I have ever been part and has given more to me than anyone else.
Sneaky? Hey, a lot of people do a lot less for their post counts than adding recipes. If they all put one recipe a month up, we'd have about 3 cookbooks....HEY ROBBO READ THIS! A PGI COOKBOOK!!! MORE CASH FOR YOU AND WELL FED COMPETITORS, MANY OF THEM BRITISH! Yeah, you're wanting British ball to enhance? Put them on the KillerOnion diet plan.
