Do any of you guys ever go paintballing?
Every couple of months a group of us get together, run out on the fields and shoot each other up with paintballs.
Of course, we're fucking bruised up from that shit for a few days, but it's totally fucking fun, and on top of it all, there's just something about shooting at people without the chance of getting jail time that makes for a great stress reliever.
So, let's say you don't paintball... What other hobbies do you guys have?
-
yeah i used to do that. when i was like 10 years old

Now you just rack up posts on getbig...
So what you're really saying is that you were more fun when you were 10 than you are now... and you actually socialized with other people in real life.
I see.

what im saying is that if you do kid stuff as an adult, you probably stuck mentally
next you'll tell us how much you enjoy building with lego

I do rather enjoy them...
Some people can even get paid to build things with them.
Getting paid to build with Lego bricks
Houston Chronicle:
Jason Poland thought the only job he could get with his recent honors English degree from the University of Houston would be in a bookstore.
Instead, he won a national competition to land one of the rarest jobs in the world: He will be paid $13 an hour to play with Lego bricks.
Poland, 23, will become the newest model builder at Legoland California, a theme park built largely of the tiny plastic bricks that have delighted so many children and that many a mom — including his — have vacuumed out of the carpet.
Only 20 other artists create and maintain the thousands of models in four Legoland theme parks around the world. Poland will be one of six modelers at Legoland California, which features more than 15,000 Lego creations.
"Not every kid takes his Legos to college with him," said his mother, Katherine Albert, an eighth-grade science teacher at Lake Jackson Intermediate School.
"I've just always loved Legos," Poland said. He said he was intrigued by the many ways Lego bricks can be combined to make things.
Poland begged for his first Lego set, a castle, for Christmas when he was only 4 years old. Although the box said the set was for older children, he convinced his mother that he would take care of it.
"I put together the first castle for him," his mother said. "After that, he always did it himself."
...
For the final test, each competitor got to pick out up to 10 pounds of Legos and use two hours to build whatever they wanted. The park's model shop had big bins of hundreds of different kinds of Lego bricks, Poland said. He was particularly intrigued by translucent red and orange bricks and thought they would make realistic flames.
"What could be more unexpected than a fire-breathing snowman?" Poland said.
He used every minute. "After I finished, I changed the arms to make them thicker," he said. He added buttons and other last-minute touches.
...
Following your passion has its rewards. Legos are from Denmark which has been under assault from Islamic bigots around the world. My grand kids seem to really enjoy building with them.
Now, it's a bit under MY pay scale, but considering you are posting here 24/7... I'd bet any amount of income would do you some good.
Besides, nothing is more childlike than 20 thousand posts on a bodybuilding board... Not including the posts in the Alphabet boards

Perpetual crusted skidmarks?
Paintball is still pretty cool. Bashing on it is extremely metro sexual and means very low test level.
I still have my spyder and my Tippmann. There's loads of places down here.
I know a good interior spot in Tustin tu_.

I'll have to get with you and check it out... Today we just rolled down to Belleflower to the HSP.
They have some good fields and it's usually a good time.
Bluto should start on some HRT to help with his lack of T.

Always... One shot on the knee is swelling up beautifully... the others are just paintball sized.

paintball is the one thing that definitely lets me know my lack of cardio training. I was winded in under a minute :P

Don't feel bad... carrying that gun, wearing the gear... it messes with you and it is easy to get winded... I felt good today running around, but I have been trying to do more cardio at the gym... Still, by the time a game or two is done, I sound like a freight train while trying to breathe.
-
I still play about once a month. My old team and I go out together and run a few games at the local joint for some night ball or whatever is going down. We play airball... we haven't played in the woods in forever. I have been playing pump after years of playing am A level tournaments for years...it just got too expensive. Now I rarely ever shoot more than half a bag after a few hours of play. Makes paintball WAY more affordable and I actually play alot better with a pump gun than I did my timmies. Still is a rush everytime you play that first game...once you get busted and lose that first cherry...it's all fun from then on out.
-
I did it a couple of times a few years ago.it always was alot of fun.
we always used the gear supplied by the place we played at.the friggin goggles would always fog up!

There is one thing for certain here. If you post, Bluto will reply. Even if it's the above nonsense that ignores the fact that I was just pointing out that they are both non BBing related. But hey, at least I know i'm on Bluto's reply-worthy list ;D

Seriously. How can anyone call themselves a player when they take offense to insults, log 15 hours a day online and are too insecure to post a pic? You're more of a wannabe. ;D

Interesting. Most women I've met aren't too keen on entering a relationship with a dork that spends 90% of his waking hours posting on a forum, BlutoSB. Maybe that's why you had to find a wife on an internet chat room?

This statement is proof positive that you've never been within 15 feet of a woman... at least not since your mom squeezed you out.
Chicks like guys who do guy stuff... See... we're men... we do man things. Paintballing, go-carts... fun things... women like guys who have fun.
They do not consider sitting on your computer and posting on getbig.com "fun".
-
"most women I've met"
haha, good one!
Well, I'm sure you can find a nice girl who plays video games, wears 4" thick glasses and has a massive case of crotch rot to sit beside you while you both fire away furiously on your dells. ;D

They ARE very popular with girls... GEEK girls.
There are tons of geeky girls that those guys get... They aren't my kind of girls, and I've never been to a star trek convention, but those guys get the kind of girls that would go for them.
You keep showing how little you know about women.

so basically youre saying any guy get women as long as he's having fun? what are you a retard? please let me know before we go back and forth for another 10 pages
we're talking about guys being PLAYERS you schmuck, not about star trek geeks getting together with some girl every 4 years

Actually no... we're talking about paintball and other hobbies.
You keep talking about being a player, which is sign numero uno that you most certainly are not one.
And yes... guys who have fun get all the girls they want.
You see... there's a difference between not taking shit from women and calling them on their shit and just being a douchebag... Women want guys who have fun... because they're easy going and fun to be around.
If you don't know this... well, that's why you have so much time to post on getbig.
I don't have to talk myself up to other people to know how many bitches I have on speed dial.

actually YES since this is the players club and you come in in the middle of the discussion about go carts vs vacations that i had with groink
guys that have fun get all the girls they want? sure they do ::)
you're quickly turning into one of the dumbest posters on here, and thats saying something because competition is fierce for that on the y! ;D

You interrupted the thread about paintball and hobbies.
Fun guys do get all the women they want... the fact you have no women, well, that pretty much proves it.
Don't worry Bluto... no one will ever be able to take your spot as HDPIC (Head Dumbass Poster in Charge), so your title is safe.

A fun guy is a guy "having fun"... They are synonymous.
Why don't you learn some common English skills?

whatever. still doesnt make any sense.
with your logic, a guy watching comedy channel while eating nachos will get any girl he wants as soon as he turns the tv off.
you either are a total idiot, or you fucked up and put your foot in your mouth but rather keep going than admit it. in both cases you lose no matter what

If you put watching comedy central and eating chips in the same vein of having fun as getting out and socializing, it's you who are the total idiot bluballz.

you change the rules as you go by huh? a minute ago it was "a guy having fun" period. now it's "getting out and socializing"
and a guy having fun, and a fun guy aint the same.
a guy having fun can do pretty much anything as long as he's having fun and enjoying himself, eve if its by himself.
a fun guy tho, is someone that's fun to be with, someone who brings the fun.

Which you know all about it seems.
You know, sitting around and nitpicking things like the difference between a fun guy and a guy having fun, and making it your life's mission to "own" people because of their statements is why you will continue to be alone and posting on getbig.com 15 hours a day.

bluto doesn't realize it but he's wrong about the semantics he's trying to argue. Obviously doesn't understand certain qualities of English since its not his first language (supposedly).
Much like an American might not understand the feminine/masculine modifiers in languages like French.

hahaha so it turned out you mixed it up mexican guy. maybe english isnt your first language huh?
its' not nitpicking if it's crucial to the discussion, not that any of the examples make sense.
neither a fun guy, or a guy having fun, get all girls he wants. there's numerous OTHER factors that play a much bigger role. as everyone 'xcept you know.

No, I'm correct, you're just you and everyone knows that you are incapable of admitting when you are incorrect.
You must have gotten beat up a lot as a kid to have this kind of internet personality problem.
