Its funny how many people's 'whole family' is 'from New York', isn't it?
Anyway, Americans for Rugby! But since America essentially has no Rugby, go Springboks! (I married a South African. A special LOL to all the Aussie Escapists)

Well, okay, it was only a few months.
While I'm at it, I may as well elaborate about my love of paintball. I've been playing paintball for over seven years now. I started out like nearly everyone else, as a timid ten year old rental player wearing coveralls. That was at Sgt. Splatter's in Toronto. I live in Campbellford, which is about a two hour drive from there. My dad made a special drive out there with me and my brother so we could play paintball for the first time.That-Guy said:
It was very dirty, extremely expensive, over crowded, and the rental equipment was terrible. The three of us had 100 paintballs each, masks whose lenses were scratched so much you could barely see out of them, and plastic no name decrepit markers that were probably shooting at around 180 fps. We only played for around thirty minutes, I didn't get shot, and the only person I shot was a teammate. All in all, we drove a total of four ours to overpay for a relatively horrible paintball experience.
It was the most fun experience I had ever had.
Over the next couple of years I played at more local fields once every few months. These fields were usually populated by my fellow rental players, but there was always That Guy, as Zero Punctuation puts it. I wanted to be That Guy.
At Christmas, three years after my first paintball experience, I got my first marker for Christmas. It was a Tippmann 98 Custom, nothing special, but at the time I thought of it as the greatest thing ever. For the next couple of years I played paintball on and off, but I could never really get into it.
More coming soon, I can't really finish this right now.
Spare a thought for the rest of us outside Glasgow if you do.Twin Of Aphex said:
I'm torn between hockey and football (the real one, which involves your feet, and a ball. Not your hands a leather egg). I have a massive passion for both.
I've just finished cursing Heart of Midlothian for their failings (again).
Now I'm watching the Philadelphia Flyers do battle with the Phoenix Coyotes.
