Not really that impressive quite allot of tennis players could have done this the fact that this is considered exciting and how mental the crowd goes shows you how mundane tennis is as a spectator sport.

I think its grate playing tennis and its not a bad sport ( apart from the snooty rich twats that generally run allot of the stuff in the uk ( when there is no reason why it could not be a far more accessible sport )

I'm sure people get all worked up and involved when they watch it with all there mirror neurons firing off and the whole supporting one person over another will he win or lose motivation.

but objectively its pretty bland sport to watch and incredibly predictable in terms of macro play by play action I really don't understand why it has such a large following over other sports such as badminton Tidly winks or chess.

To compound the issue its Realy very rare in tennis that you get players that are entertaining to watch/ have a very original play stile , personly i dont like football but it does seem to produce or leave space for players to be far more creative.

Bah rant over ,

I know not of this "Sleep" thing you speak of!

Let's see... (last night)

Start work at 8, end at 4
Get home 5, eat, lay out cook book til 10:30, Diablo til 12, sleep, Up at 6 repeat!

I also just bought and installed Diablo II on a second computer so I can run two at once. Not only does it provide more mule space, I can play with my kids who also both have an account and play with me. (only after homework is done). I currently play 8 different characters, one of each class. So any good drops never go to waste.

I also do all the cooking and volunteer two nights a week at a local youth group. On top of that, My wife wants me to start coming with her one night a week to play Badminton - you know, to get out of the house more

And yes, I'm sadly lacking in sleep ¦)

In reply to this comment by residue:
Holy mackerel! That's a hefty undertaking. I glanced through the Vernon ad, that's some pretty high quality work. I can't imagine making 15 of those a year (not to mention 2 versions of each). I'm with you about the loss of dual monitors in the home setting, I love my dualies at work and they are sorely missed at home

and I just noticed you've reinstalled diablo 2 as well?! Do you ever sleep??

[redacted]

I never really understood the whole groaning thing. It's so awkward. And this was just so over the top. How does it help? Baseball players don't do it when they swing, nor do hockey players or hurlers or curlers or cricketers. . . . Even badminton players don't do it as far as I've seen.

Good call

gourmetemu is so classy, not picking, "Korean drills cock into giant fruit" as the title. Kudos


Wow, I wish I could go back and edit that now. Like a lot. Which probably explains why that was the first time I've been described as "classy"

Weird people.


Because they know it's just a matter of time before he takes a shuttlecock to them.

Upvote for the badminton - mad skillz.

Oh my and then TODD hurt his pinky and couldn't play badminton OR polo for a week!

My T-shirt wore out and now has a red tinge from poor maintenance and over use at badminton games.

Ok, so I actually have the "pleasure" (pleasure? really? Um, no.) of being the person on here who's known Zifnab the longest out of anyone and that's due to actually working together in real life. That means I know stuff.

Oh, I know stuff.

TRUE: Zif loves the badminton and the volleyball. He's also really shitty at both and thinks he tries the better he'll get. Just like the time he broke his #$%^in' ankle! Your serve! Yeesh.

FALSE: There is a chain hanging on his dragon tattooed dangle.

TRUE: Sorry, there's no chain --and I really wish he hadn't shown me.

TRUE: His pool table has a massive Pink Floyd Division Bell poster hanging by it. As soon as Zif's losing a game of pool, he turns on the blinky red lights in the eyes to distract his opponent.

TRUE: He cheats at everything, the bastard.

FALSE: He's a furry freak.

TRUE: He's LARPer and he's the one on the left http://www.fasthack.com/images/weblog/2007/01/dnd-cosplay-2.jpg

FALSE: He slams his phone down at the office after every phone call.

TRUE: He ends every phone call with "yeah, with YOUR MOM!"

FALSE: He's balding.

TRUE: He shaves.....eeeeevvvveeerrrryyyywhere.

FALSE: He laughs maniacally when people nuke fish in the microwave in the office kitchen (oh, the smell!!)

TRUE: He laughs maniacally when the guy next to him in the office says 'pork'. Seriously, WTF?

FALSE: His favorite winter sport is hockey.

TRUE: His favorite winter sport is women's curling (thanks to me introducing him to the great Kelley Law.... on her hands and knees... screaming "HARDER!" Awesome. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/46/Kelleylaw.jpg/200px-Kelleylaw.jpg

FALSE: Zif is Canadian and proud of it.

TRUE: Zif was born in Seattle, but loves to say 'aboot'.

But seriously, congrats on the roast here, Ziffy. Can't wait until you change your phone greeting to "That's what she said!"

Dick.
