"Mickeys Jihad" Paintball Team?

TheDude · 05-09-2008, 02:18 PM

Here in SoCal I've heard some obscure references to an 80's paintball made up of Disney employees called "Mickey's Jihad". Most notably they're mentioned in the that old 20/20 episode on paintball. Does anybody have a pic of the team in an old mag somewhere? Or know what happened to them? Most importantly were team patches ever made? I've had my eye on local classfieds for years hoping a patch would pop up.

HAHAHA oh hell I need to get some sleep when I first read that I could have swarn you said something about her mad screwing skillz. I'm picturing her on a stool with a toolbelt cordless drill in each hand screwing the patches to the wall

Anyway sorry

Oh geez... all I saw was mad screwing skillz and started laughing. I wasn't thinking of powertools either.

No one lets me have powertools at work.

Just wait till I get on with a different shop. Then I'll post pictures with a decent drill and a sawzall or something!

As according to the sewing, just don't look at the back of some of them. My mom's machine started having conniptions and I couldn't get the bobbin tension right so the backs are atrocious. Between the hot glue to hold them in place for the machine and the stitching, I think it will take effort to remove them.

Back to more of on topic, I don't think I saw a Mickey's Jihad in the newer patches. I have a spreadsheet of the ones I attached, and I don't see it listed. http://www.paintballcity.org/paintba...%20Project.xls Must be on the pre-existing part or like incynr8 said grew legs...

If you guys accumulate enough for another swatch of them, feel free to send them up. I'm sure I can wrangle another sewing machine or might have one or my own by then. Some people sent me a few spares so far, they're tucked safely away in a box for EMR when enough appear.

I have a bunch of patches from Dollack games in a box somewhere.
