It was an action packed weekend. First Phlome and I got up early Saturday morning to go play paintball! That was a lot of fun despite not be able to run or coughing a lot. I manged to crawl along the ground pretty well and give flying paint as good as I got it. Of course my positioning meant I only really had one avialble target, my head. I took six paintballs right on the face mask. Then in the very last battle I saw one coming for me and ducked, but I wasn't quite fast enough and it nailed me in the forehead. I thik everyone heard me yell when it hit.
Saturday night, we celebrated Monketo's birthday with a Zombie party. We dressed like zombies, ate brain cake, and played Zombie Games. Some people might have even drank the magic zombie creating elixir (beer).
Sunday was a 40k Battle Royale with Speed Freaks, Necrons, Dark Eldar, and Death Gaurd facing off against each other. This battle proved that while all vehicle armies are fun they're aren't very effective.
In health news, I'm going in to have the mediport installed tommorrow. In by 10am out by 4pm, or say they say. We'll see. Phlome is going along as my sidekick d'jour, so no worries about me driving home after surgery.
you guys rock and suck [at the same time] for going and playing paint ball without unca knats.
but risk of serious facial injuries aside, you're a bunch of wusses for playing at a place where you had to wear those mask thingies.
back in my day, we got shit goggles that fogged up alot, and no facial protection at all.
and we aimed for center of mass all the time, so it was no big deal.
what're you playing against? deadly accurate shuriken hurling ninjas for christ's sake?
anyways, glad you had fun. sorry you got beaned, but you must have had it coming, or played past you were too tired to throw yourself to the ground to avoid the headshot.
i've already regaled you with tails of me having to walk backwards for three days after my last paintball outing. and that was nigh on 15 years ago...OUCH!
that being said, it's within the realm of possibility that paintball manufacture, and the implements used to propel them towards one's opponents have improved to such a degree that headshots are not only possible, but fairly common.
do the paintballs still have seams around their perimeter that cause them to curve? if not, i gotta check it out...
-knats
ouch. i played once, and quickly realized that paintball is really for boys.
or really, really tough girls.
My high school senior trip was playing paintball. It was an awesome time of shooting a lot of people that needed some shooting.
yeah, it was fun. :-) with mrs. parker no less!
And in four years, that was the first and only time we saw her wearing pants. I really, really liked her.
