Topical Suggestions--Fork 'em Over

[Intheno]

you see Gyro, being 'intheno' is a burden. There is so much I could tell, but in life there are consequences, promises made etc., and as such I am often not at liberty to disclose juicy info. That does not diminish the 'tag' though, as I still know it, so it still counts.

Anything in particular you want to know?
Maybe thats another thread - 'Ask intheno'

The moral awareness idea is a good one, and for that you suck considerably less that you previously sucked, but I still can't believe you turned on me like that...

Life is boring if you always know who your friends are.

Ask intheno isn't a bad idea, but I don't want to know anything in particular, more like anything in general. I only worry that such a thread would turn into "truth or dare UK edition."

Who's Gay?

Know any gay players (preferably high profile ones)? Take a picture of them with thier boy/girl and lets give them the 'gift of acceptance'.
They can be prized out of the closet and will of course be pleased and 'oh so relieved' when everyone is very understanding about it and we say that we all knew all along.

Thier tears will be tears of joy....

Could be a classic!

hint - there are some major lezzers about at the moment in the US leagues, we could start with one of those. Lets face it, its best to know anyway. I mean I only just found out, and it was a shock, but now that I know I have the ability to point fun at those that don't while they 'chance thier arm', which is hella cool!

OK there's the sell, waddaya think?

I like it, but then I'm an anti-social angry loner. As to the hint -- There was a well known team back in the day . . .

Hey, you appreciate it deep down, cause any press is good press.

I almost want to un-nominate you, simply because of the "gift of acceptance" thread idea. Almost. But for that to happen would require you to actually disclose some information, rather than coyly doing a little "I know something you don't know" dance. I understand that inosumthinudontno is a lot more akward than intheno, and that finding things out is sometimes contingent on keeping one's mouth shut, but jeez!

topic ideas:
the dual nature of paintball; gear geek/ sports jock (wannabe?)

what paintball teaches us about predominant moral awareness; who is watching and what is the consequence?

how to cut the captain, if the captain really sucks and everyone on the team knows it

gardening for paintball players: which hedges block sound the best and do well in mixed light with a drier climate?

Good ones, Gyro. Wanna start a pball mag?

Only problem with this one is the real jock in paintball is almost nonexistent (and you knew it going in but it seemed like such a winner you couldn't help yourself.)

I'm not sure any of the "lessons" accessible from pball are ones you want any impressionable minds to "learn."

been there, it sucked and the team imploded anyway

Novel approach to getting pball on TV, HGTV that is.

is it acceptable to sleep in the same bed as another man when the room only has a double bed, and only one quilt...?












at a tourney, yea a tourney.....

 

[Intheno]

thats interesting Mario.

First of all, if any of the following are not true the guys in question are probably gay.

1. Both guys were so poor they could not possibly have afforded another room. I am not talking about whether they are a bit tight with thier cash, I am saying that there is NO WAY they could have afforded it.
2. The hotel did not have any roll out beds
3. The hotel had no rooms where 2 separate beds were available.
4. They are brothers
5. They had other options rather than to share the one bed.

Now sometimes its unavoidable, and sharing a bed does not make you homosexual, so long as you are not both naked, and there's no 'touching'.

My advice would be to start a co-ed team, and make bed sharing mandatory...

Is it still possible to get into the paintball business? Not as a field or store, but as a manufacturer, particularly of markers.

Is it still possible to get into the paintball business? Not as a field or store, but as a manufacturer, particularly of markers.

absolutely, so long as you have your own manufacturing facility in Asia....

 

[Gyroscope]

... and are thus safe from litigation over intellectual property rights?

 

[Intheno]

no, although getting those Asian suppliers to pay licences is probably more difficult than getting Baca Loco to admit he's a redneck (because he's from Florida, and all Floridians are ass-backwards rednecks), but you can actually afford to pay up and still supply the market at a profit.
Make them in the US and you will be priced out of the market by the patent owners and Asian suppliers, unless you have a wide niche, or a great reputation, or both.
