  • Don't we all?
  • A story as old as time.
  • True as it can be.
  • Gotta love those Kiwis.
  • A thousand pities the old name for the game, battledore and shuttlecock, went out of style. Then Badmintin might mean what is nowadays being called eventing, a protracted trial of horse and rider, and we would not be stuck with the ugly word eventing. /venting
  • shuttlecock. huh huh.
  • Sorry about this. Checking posting...
  • Hi Michael! *waves*
  • Hey! and likewise ho, Number 2!
  • Double?
  • No, the server was b0rked today.
  • I was just surporised to learn that BADMINTON teams have sponsors. And fans!
  • Battledore is much cooler. Still someone in the front office is losing face, eh?
  • Wow! Read along with the earlier posting about the drunken Santas, gives one the impression that New Zealand is now the new ground zero for the end of civilization as we know it. Who would have guessed and how much is Monkeybashi really behind all of these alarming developments?

  • Ookeneekie! The fear is at me!

  • "..gives one the impression that New Zealand is now the new ground zero for the end of civilization as we know it." Some of us have known this for a very long time indeed.
  • how much is Monkeybashi really behind all of these alarming developments? It was a slow news day on MonkeyFilter so I called in a few favours.
  • This reminds me of the time I was asked for alternative names for the NZ Canoe Polo team. Silver shafts, anyone? It didn't fly. Wonder why?
  • It was bad enough when the NZ hockey team named themselves the Black Sticks. If we're talking polo, you could go for Black Balls, maybe?
  • You Kiwis got a sack race team?
  • Yes, but they're not as good as our champion peanut-peeling team.
