Badminton: Play of the Day alright... holy cow

Sagemind says...

Hmmm, not sure how to respond to this.
Trust me, I was being completely serious. I honestly didn't know it was played at a competition level.

They sell them in the toy sections of every grocery and department store. It's a game, like lawn darts and bocci ball that we play when family comes to visit or at picnics. And every time we play it, even now, with my kids, we have to find the least broken rackets and the least squashed birdie to play with.

Seeing it played in competition, makes me think of competitive dodge-ball, something I also didn't know was a real sport other than in gym class.

How you should have climbed the damn rope in gym class

FlowersInHisHair says...

For me gym class (or PE as we called it!) wasn't about teaching anything, it was about humiliating me into feeling incapable of even trying to take part. If you weren't already good at sports, the teachers couldn't give a shit about you, happy to leave less-able students to flounder while paying all attention to the boys who could play well already. I was not taught how to play cricket, or football, or tennis, or hockey, or how to use exercise equipment; no ball skills or batting technique; it was assumed people knew how to play already and no instruction was given. The teacher's role was to be referee. Fucking hated it, and it's ruined sports/keep-fit for me for life.

The gym class technique, in retrospect, is clearly designed to make anyone who isn't all upper body strength with no lower body successful and fail all the rest of us!
Maybe a good work out for your upper body---but if you actually wanted to CLIMB and DESCEND a rope, these two methods would work a lot better, right?!!!!

The gym class technique is friggin' impossible! I hated rope climbing as a kid! I wish my small feeble mind could have comprehended this back then. Then again, they didn't bust it out in gym that much either but I always dreaded it!

Russian Students AK-74 Gun Assembly/Disassembly.

Khufu says...

These weapons are designed to be easily stripped down and reassembled in the field, so it doesn't take much skill. Do it 3 or 4 times and you could do it that fast. I don't understand why they need to do this... (especially the part where they just pull the tool-kit out of the stock). is it just a manual dexterity thing for gym class? (card shuffling tricks would be harder and more impressive) Or is there a 'military skills' class in middle school?

Truckchase says...

Thanks Marinara; I'm wondering about this video. Perhaps I undersold it since I'm not a fan of the music, which, isn't horrible mind you, just not my style. (description change pending) I can't believe 4 of 160 views appreciate it enough for an upvote since this video makes one feel like climbing the rope in gym class....
