Paintball??

I don't see any paint. Do you? The red stuff is blood; the purple stuff is a deep bruise.

It wasn't pickleball either.

Knife Tennis?

Airsoft. I got shot eight times in five battles. One of them hit my hand. I gotta go buy gloves. Ammo was a 6mm plastic .20g round traveling at 350fps. I got hit in the arm, throat, face shield, and other places. I killed 14 enemy soldiers, not a bad score for my first time in years.

I cannot even walk at normal speed, I sort of stagger, but the team leader saw that I had good combat instincts and was deadly accurate. He put me in a post with a teenager as a wingman and we covered the whole flank. The leader then took the whole team to the other flank, did a sweep, and destroyed the enemy team.

ADB HONORS OUR VETERANS, WHO KEPT US FREE SO WE COULD MAKE A MESS OF THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH.

Maybe we could honor them more if we made less of a mess.

I thought of airsoft, but that bruise looked too big, which is why I figured paintball was more likely. I assumed you'd be wearing gloves.

I was concerned it may have been the classic team game of "We need to take the security staff to the Vee Ee Tee..."

When I was at the doctor/surgeon yesterday, he insisted on seeing the wound and said it was not a problem.

As in threatening to take Ramses to the Neutered Zone...?

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 - 08:34 pm: Edit

Ramses joined the black fleet years ago. Taking Thor to that zone or the VET is a bloody affair.

Several years ago I had a black Siberian orest cat named Sauron. My vets still talk about the day they needed a urine sample, I had to leave him for several hours, in that period he pinned the tech in a corner and would not let er out of the examine room. When I picked him up the vet brough him out wearing kevlar gloves up to her elbows annd said be careful he is pissed, she sat him down he walked over to me ourred and laid down in his carrier, he was something else.

Sorry Re Ramases, I was going by the staff photos. Could we have a picture of Thor please? He sounds a character! Just nobody try telling him the Orion bountyhunter hunting Lyran joke!

There are better pictures down in the pet discussion section.

It sounds like maybe Thor should have been named Loki.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Sunday, November 16, 2025 - 11:59 pm: Edit

Or Odin. Maybe both. Thor might be Tyr.

Since marriage, Leanna and I have had cats Cinnamon, Blackie, Ramses, Isis, Misca, and now Thor and Odin.

Back when single I had dogs: Sandy, Lady, Happy.

Very cool, but dang it all. Two weeks ago, I just bought the FedCmdr stuff I was missing. Let me see if there's anything else I want/need to pick up.

I knew there was a reason I was holding out for a few more minis!

Looks like I'll be padding my collection with a few more quite soon.
