ABOUT
About Baca:
Baca Loco is the forum name I first used at P8ntballer.com and kept when I starting writing for PGi magazine, the late, lamented Paintball Games International. At various times I did gun reviews, event reports, the occasional feature, How-To’s & a monthly column entitled, View from the Deadbox. At one time or another I’ve done most everything you can do in paintball other than own a field or run a tourney series. For the last several years I have coached a number of pro teams and generally made a nuisance of myself whenever possible.
About VIEW FROM THE DEADOX:
One purpose of this blog is to encourage a dialogue about competitive paintball and permitting commenter anonymity is intended to encourage the participation of those who actually know what they are talking about. The rest of you are also welcome, even encouraged, to comment as well. (I don't really need any encouragement.)
The other purpose of this blog is to provide a focus for my attention deficit disorder and hold boredom at bay.
About my views:
Brilliant, visionary and almost always correct. Get used to it. Oh, and I'm humble too. Feel free to disagree as long as you are prepared to be wrong.

FAQ
How is paintball like golf? Golf is played outdoors on nice, well kept grass or, if something goes horribly wrong, off in the woods. Same with paintball.
How is a paintball made? What am I, Wikipedia?
Who are your sponsors? Who hasn't been one of my sponsors? I won't be trying to promote current sponsors on this blog nor will I take shots at non-sponsors. I don't give gun, goggle or gear advice so it really doesn't matter.
What's your view on cheating? It's wrong and has no place in the game. That's why I don't play scenario or Big Games.
What's your favorite marker? The free one.
Where did that awesome photo come from in the blog header? It is the work of photographer extraordinaire, Brandon Showers or the vixen with a Nikon (or maybe a Canon) Meagan Foster.
What's your favorite team? Grow up.
Who started the Rec vs. Tourney war? Some will say that's just the way it's always been. Others claim it's natural for the sides to be at odds. I say, aren't we all brothers under the goggles? I'm not sure but ask yourself who benefits? Follow the money. Could it be a covert plot of the Military Simulation Industrial Complex? As long as the war rages on there will be a demand for more paint, more markers and Big Paintball will continue to count its profits instead of the cost. Give peace a chance. That's all that I'm saying.
How do I get sponsored? You don't.
Will you send me any free stuff if I tell you what a big fan I am? No.
Is agg dead yet? Yes, it's time to move on to some new uber hip trendiness that everyone can follow to demonstrate their individuality.
Is it true the inside of Ollie Lang's gearbag smells like roses? No, strawberries and cream.
You don't really know any Pro players, do you? Rats, you caught me out.
What makes your opinion so important? It's my blog, d'oh! And has already been noted I'm almost always correct. There's quite a lot to be said for being right.

Duran Duran are cool. They used to cut my hair when I was a kid.
Plus, why would Duran fans object to 'object>'
Seems so inoccuous...
There is no way Chicago should have got the Olympics anyway. It rotates around continents, with a different country in that continent expected to get it each time it comes around. LA had the Olympics, by rights it should be 40 years before the US think they can get it again. Spending $1.8m of US taxpayers money to send the Obama's to Scandinavia ain't going to change hundreds of years of history. The event would be great for Rio.
Besides, Chicago is too corrupt. Not that Rio isn't, but we know for sure that Chicago's is. From what I hear many Chigagoans didn't want it anyway.
Missy, you're rambling. Are you off your meds again?
There's no text for me to see. I just see this:

and then:
With Apology to Duran Duran fans.
I really don't understand the comments... but Rio has one of the highest kidnapping rates in the world, so I would'nt be pointing finger at BLOGOYAVICH when you can't walk down the street in Brazil without getting a finger lopped off and wrapped in todays newspaper.
As for US only getting it once every 40 years; clearly you don't understand that we ARE half the world, and thus should get it every other olympics. China had it in '08, some other dudes have it in '12. We are past due.

What browser are you using? There's a You Tube video embedded that far as I can see everyone else can see.
Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8LNbLY_Nfg&feature=player_embedded
ok, thats why then. I don't get You-tube, it's blocked, probably by the cops. They don't want Harlem educated
anyway, Brazil is the next superpower. They are 100% self-sufficient, and have fully-established industry. People do get kidnapped in Rio, but mainly during carnival. Mexico City is actually the Worlds kidnap capital. But if the Olympics were in Mexico I expect you would feel safer. For me, in-bred Xenophobia is much wider and more poignant issue than kidnapping.
