<kerokero> Kyou: The lenses on mine have developed some weird cracking pattern on outside.
<SpiceKyou> kero: hmm.. checking...
<Tono> Outis: "Pump my ass! You little bearded mouse!"
* kken once played with goggles that had lenses blown out of the frame! course that wuz a looooooong time ago! =:O
<Tono> kero: good idea
<kken> kero; if you left paint on them, it coulda eaten the seal between both lenses and outer film... but you had to have left it on there a while
<SpiceKyou> kero: nope, mine are fine.. crystal clear and smooth..
<kken> smoooooooooooooth
<SpiceKyou> hehehe B)
<kken> hrm my lenses were all scratched an beat up last time i looked at them =:O
<Outis> Tono: Wouldn't you rather call the psychic hotline?...
<kerokero> kken: Hmmm...wasn't really dirty...the pattern seems to be only on the outer film. Nothing between the two lenses.
<kken> kero: i mean is it like a physical i can see the split crack or is it like a pressure thing?
<Outis> kken is getting physical!
<kerokero> kken: Pressure thing. Cracklines are raised on the surface.
<kken> some guys, they get one scratch on lens and they have to replace them! i pick those things up outta garbage man!
<kken> kero: hrm....
<kken> could run steel wool over lenses and i'd still use them! =:O
* kerokero guesses I&I has spare lenses for these puppies....
<kken> hrm must call up los gatos i&i and ask for ken leung "what! he hasn't worked here in ages!"
* kken wonders what got all the norcal guys all hopped up on paintball in the first place
<SpiceKyou> kken: j0ker and fedd used to be into it a lot as well as kerokero...
<Tono> kken: partly kero
<kken> been here two years! like right after i quit paintball and ain't never heard any talk of it til now!
<kken> Tono: hrm...
<Tono> kken: partly Fedd too... I've been wanting to go for a while and cried about it some
<kken> well let me know if the field has byop cuz i will bring me own then
<SpiceKyou> kken: and as such, when a big gathering comes up, we tend to act as a group and spend tons of money because it's just a cool thing to do...
* kerokero is not responsible for the conduct of the group...
<kken> Kyou: woo woo! sounds good to me!
<Tono> mob mentality!
<SpiceKyou> yeah!
<kerokero> kken will bring cases for everyone! omiyage!
<kken> just pick a field that is bring your own paint!
<SpiceKyou> yeah!
<kken> kero: man! don't wanna deal with shipping and crap!
<kerokero> kken: Most are, aren't they, unless you use their equipment.
<kken> shipping paint is like some crapshoot!
<kken> kero: 99% of fields in midwest are all fieldpaint only
<kerokero> kken: Cheap bastards.
<kken> but yeah cali is supposed to be holy land for players
<kken> kero: field owners gotta eat too
<kerokero> kken: Midwest, the whole place be one big field, can play in the cornfields!
<kken> man! do not make me ship paint! don't boo hoo hoo to me when half the friggin things are busted!
<Tono> kero: bet fields here are a bit more costly
<kken> kero: we have things called cops too!
<kken> yeah field fee is dirt cheeps here
<kken> field fee cheeps... air refills cheeps... rentals cheeps... they just make it all back on field paint...
<kken> man d00ds who play in socal must be like ex-muhajudan d00ds... it's hotter than hell there
<Sydney2K> Tono: That was the first and last for the night
<kerokero> kken: They play in shorts down in SoCal!
<Tono> S2K: man, just make it the last, period. unless it really is funny
<SpiceKyou> hmm.. kken must gained tubs of hanging-over-belt fat after he slumped outta the pro paintball stuff years ago..
<kken> kero: socal is reknown for producing poser teams with guys like ricky schroeder!
<Tono> kero: maybe I should cut some camo shorts ^^
<kken> Kyou: hell yah! was sucking down beers watching crappy bears games!
<kken> admittedly norcal has produced some of the finest paintball teams around altho chicago area has come into its own lately
<SpiceKyou> kken: yeah! what happened, man! you turned into some angsty suburban sloucher!
<kken> Kyou: got fed up with team and circuit politics! so i was outta there! and now i am here!
<SpiceKyou> kken: well, cool, then!
<SpiceKyou> kken: but you didn't escape any politics! ;)
<Tono> gee, fed up with politics... glad we don't go thru that around here
<kken> man i hear pckit is going paintball!
<SpiceKyou> kken: yeah! pckit has done it before!
<kken> Kyou: man you guys got nothing on the backstabbing of the circuit!
<kken> pckit will get a klingon! hehehe... should let him use automag tho
<kerokero> pcK is gonna face off at twenty paces against kken!
<SpiceKyou> kken: no, I meant politics as in AX-related or otherwise! we all backstab each other like crazy because we got nothing else to vent about when workday is over!
<kken> bwahahaha
<Tono> pck gonna shoot himself in the crotch

<SpiceKyou> kken: well, there is our next step!
<kken> Kyou: woo woo! then i am there!
<Tono> kken: we backstab for power
<kken> Tono: baaah
<SpiceKyou> kken; $20 says you can take down Vicki! if you can't do it, then something is wrong with you!
<kken> Kyou: what!
<SpiceKyou> kken: man, Vicki gots some secret testosterone in her or something! she is more of a man than tono! she in frontlines while tono be popping his head up out in the back!
<Tono> kyou: remember, she turns into a bitch!
<SpiceKyou> tono: yeah!
<kken> getting started in paintball was funny as hell! we took friend right after high school grad paintball cuz he was going into the navy and was gonna live high and adventurous life! but afterwards we all got into it bigtime while he wa stuck in florida studying nuclear physics or something!
<SpiceKyou> kken: well, look where you are now! who is the richer one!
<kken> Kyou: bwahahaha! i will shoot any of you fools who do not keep up or shoot enuff!

<SpiceKyou> kken: oh man!
<kken> hrm... shoot zuni huh?
<kerokero> Baywatch!
<kken> oh man! gonna be suffering 3 hour jetlag too!
<SpiceKyou> kken: it be your handicap!
<Tono> kyou: I think charging more aggressively next time will be more fun than trying to shoot from a distance
<SpiceKyou> tono: hmmmmmm.. yeah!
<kerokero> Tono: Must shake off self-preservation training from Army!
<SpiceKyou> tono: being out in the back is all boring and stuff...
<kken> must learn concept of directive fire and cover and stuff like that!
<Tono> kken: man, how bad can it be?
<kken> kerokero: yeah exactly!!! you are learning quickly already!
<SpiceKyou> tono: plus, your firing distance is like much less than the distance that you can actually see a person walking around..
<Tono> kyou: yeah, noticed it goes against my training ^o^
<SpiceKyou> tono: hehehe well, yeah... ;)
<kken> Tono: it is three d00ds pounding the shit out of the bunker while two other d00ds bumrush it and bunker their asses outta there!
<kken> preferably in the face!
<SpiceKyou> yeah!
* kerokero learned long ago that it's much more fun to go charging into an area than to hang back and do cover fire back and forth...
<SpiceKyou> tono: time to get down and dirty! I ain't gonna pull no "what! you mean that was a bounce! I thought it was a hit! damn!"
<kken> it is pounding the shit outta a bunker rwhile some d00d snakes up right to it and pops up and give the guy inside happy birthday present in the face and throat!
<Tono> paintball is a chance to be that dumbass fool hero no sane soldier wants to be
<SpiceKyou> tono: yeah!
<kerokero> Kyou be some goofy "I ran outta air, so I left" d00d...
<kken> bounce is your friend man! you shoot until the d00d is all pissed and wants to kick your ass!
<SpiceKyou> kero: it got fucking hot in that bunker, man!
<kken> paintball does not equal the army man!
<Tono> kken: yeah, no kidding
<kken> you gladly take the hits so your buddy behind you whacks the two schleps shooting at you and then gets the flag! it is glory for all not just one!
<SpiceKyou> in army, when you get hit, you die!
<kken> Kyou: yeah! when you get hit you can still win!
<kerokero> Tono: Man, paintball be chaos with a coupla dudes cleaning up in the confusion.
<Tono> kyou: gotta do berserker rage thing and go nuts!
<SpiceKyou> kken: paintball to me is just time-out to goof around running amok and stuff!
<kken> hahahahahahaha oh man that is so true for open games
<SpiceKyou> tono; yeah!
<Tono> going nuts will get me killed for sure but I can hope to get three or more of them
<kken> kyou: yeah! it should be! when paintball starts GIVING you stress instead of getting rid of it, time to get out!
