airsoft vest

A few of my college friends got their hands on group discount tickets at a local paintball field.  Me and 9 other newbs (first timers) and 4 intermediate players wore our baggiest clothes and any possible padding that we could find.  One of the intermediate players was used to playing airsoft, so he wore his airsoft vest to protect his core.  We learned the rules and split up the intermediate players equally on two teams – and started to play.

The rush off “the break” and running to hide was actually really exciting!  I felt like I was playing hide-and-go-seek again.  I lasted about 3 games by being shot in the paintball mask, my hand and my leg.  The next game was my “you play like a girl” game.  I got shot by one of the intermediate players, directly in my neck – and I cried!

When you speak with any paintball players, they will all tell you the worst places to get shot is:

1. neck
2. head
3. hand

bandana

I will be truthful with you, it felt like the paintball drilled a hole right through my skin. I sat out the next game with tears in my eyes, applying the cold water bottle on my poor wound, while I blamed the bandana for not covering my whole neck.  Even the padded airsoft vest would not have helped me there.  But I played the rest of the day and had lots of fun shooting the people out that shot me!

Tip: Wear two bandanas around your neck, not just one.

Become.com Celebrates Pirate Day!

A while back, like many others around the world, I talked like a pirate. On Thursday, a coworker informed me that tomorrow, September 19th, was International Talk Like A Pirate Day. I had almost forgotten! (Last year the day passed me by, to my eternal regret). After thanking her profusely, I secured a promise from her that we would both participate on Friday. To get into the spirit of things, I picked up a bandana to wear on my head that night. (I wanted to get an eye patch as well, but I couldn’t find one). When I get there the next morning, everyone stared at me like I was crazy, which is perfectly understandable, especially since I was now saying things like “Yarr, ye scurvy sea dogs, how be the good website Become doing on electronics categories?” But no one else joined me, not even the friend who had promised me she would.

But I stuck with it, when giving my weekly report to my boss, when ordering from the waiter at lunch (got the calamari), and even when Joe the ‘tern tried to get me to break character by calling me on the phone and offering me a free Nintendo Wii. Why, you ask, would I persevere? Because if Blackbeard never quit, I wouldn’t either, that’s why.
But I did learn one lesson: If you are going to dress up, like many of you probably are for Halloween, make sure you
A) Get your Halloween costume ahead of time, so you can plan out everything in detail.
B) Make your friends order theirs as well, and make SURE they are wearing them before you go to work!

Avast me Hearties,
