Is it up to me to mention that this thread is useless without picts?

I meant to take the camera but trying to hustle an 11 year old out of the house at 07:00 was a hassle unto it'sself. Just picture me in camo covered in yellow paint.

Could we re-enact it at the next SOKS night?

I do have to ask a question I've wondered about for some time. An R-Kilt is a magnificent creation to say the least and you have a one of a kind there.

How pray tell does one get the paint out? Perhaps there is some chemical coating that would never pass the muster of the health ministry? Or am I being naive here? Perhaps is there some sinister technology of David's involved that allows you to simply shift out of phase so the paint hits your teammates? Or do you have a miracle washing machine like the one that Rocky and Kelly just bought?

Inquiring minds want to know.

On a side note: If the miracle machine has a fluff and fold cycle can you put yourself into it? If so, once the fluffing is done what happens in the fold cycle? Wouldn't you need another rinse?

It's not actually paint it's like colour cough syrop and bio-degradable as are the ball shell. It all comes out in the wash.

Paintball and kilts would be a great match. Although, you may want to put in some sort a bug spray pocket, because i have a feeling you will be needing alot of it.

Great post. I also play paintball in a kilt and I have to say it is intimidating to other players. Here in the PNW we have a whole team that plays in kilts. The Irregulators. There is also a kiltmaker from the Seattle area who plays on team Ganggreen. So far I am the only one on my team ( OK Company ) that wears the kilt. I hope to change that soon though.

On the prowl

Cool shot, it looks like my green UK survival kilt...

The RCMP firing squad was disbanded due to collateral damage issues. However, the use of paint ball guns may yet bring some colour back to the time honored spectacle eh?
