Paintballing then?

So - who'd be up for it?

It *could* be against Sinister, if it was organised properly, but more likely any group we got together would just join a bigger group. Apart from anything else, everyone is dressed up in masks and gear and the only way of identifying each other is by what shoes they're wearing.

For those who haven't done it before - yes, it does hurt, but the adrenaline makes it pretty much irrelevant. You *will* be shot several times, but you will also be able to KILL other people, so it's a worthwhile payoff. It's a bit knackering, but you end up grinning from ear to ear.

I think it's about £30, but perhaps someone can confirm a more accurate price. We could have as few as, say, 5 people or as many as 30.

You know you want to.

It's SO much better than Lazer Quest.

B-but it hasn't got lasers.

exactly. it's got paint. and everyone loves playing with paint.

'P' comes after 'l' in the alphabet, therefore, paint = more evolved entertainment.

[in Nickie's confused version of evolution, humans struggled for many thousands of years just going "A-A-A!" before hitting on 'B-B-B' noises. Actually, that sounds curiously plausible]

It doesn't say much for ABBA either. They regressed even when coming up with a name for themselves.

but oh dear, there's a glitch in my theory because lazer warfare is also called quasar, which puts it beyond paintballing in the evolutionary scale of entertainment. curses.

The Sinister posse will WHIP YOUR ASS.

prepare to enter a world of pain.

Sinister = Belle & Sebastian fans = their opponents will take the opportunity to use LIVE REAL ammunition = possibly not a good idea.

I'm looking forward to seeing a DG-shaped camouflage blur in my sights :-)

I'm up for it. I derive pleasure from being covered in paint and pain. Why are we fighting sinister though? I think we'd whip their asses, although that sounds wrong.

paintball, paintball, paintball, paintball. much spaced style hilarity to be had. hoooooooooo yes.

Mark C - I think not, if we go paintballing I'm turning up in a fucking TANK (though this might actually be LC's Ford Fiesta which will be re-sprayed in camoflage - I shall lean out of the passenger window, spraying paint and rude remarks about your mother).

― DG, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gluttons for punishment this Sinister mob. I'll see how the match goes before deciding.
