the thing i don't like about squash is that all you have to look at is a wall

I like the minimalism of squash. You can also look at the ceiling for a more sensory intense experience but that may negatively affect your game.

a teacher at my school died infront of everyone playing squash.

Toilet & Bowels 05.04.2007 08:01 AM

a japanese girl once told me that middle aged men used to hang out by the school railings taking photos when there was a girls PE lesson at her school and they used to have to get the police to get the men to clear off

No, they wear the skirt. They use a ball.

tennis, no contest...

Tennis is the greatest sport to play oneself (Golf is for old-timers that can't play tennis anymore), and one of the best to watch as a sporting event as well.

Any sport that features something called a "birdie" is for twats.

Twat.

Iain 05.04.2007 10:56 AM

What? Since when did Badminton involve Birdies? Are you getting confused with golf?

Atari is right on one thing. Golf is for twats who can't play tennis anymore. Both hateful, tedious games.

sonicl 05.04.2007 10:57 AM

Badminton doesn't feature a "Birdie" does it? I know it features a "Cock", but where does the "Birdie" come into it?

There, cocks have been mentioned. Glice will be along in a minute.

sarramkrop 05.04.2007 10:57 AM

Tennis, golf and anything that isn't basketball is for twats.

If that's your Limey terminology for a birdie, that's hardly an improvement. It may, however, more justifiably make you a collective bunch of twats.

Toilet & Bowels 05.04.2007 11:06 AM

oohhhh, get her!

it's called a shuttlecock in english. shuttles (i.e. space travel) are cool and having a cock is cool, therefore shuttlecocks (an object symbolizing a space traveling penis) are cool.

and thus in playing badminton we are celebrating and anticipating man's future exploration, conquest and colonization of unknown worlds.

Green_mind 05.04.2007 02:53 PM

It's a tough choice, they are all a bit too athletic. You could have included something a little less physical, like, say, table football.

Savage Clone 05.04.2007 02:55 PM

I'm going with squash, despite my love for the term "shuttlecock."

Insert joke about T&B confessing his virginity, blah blah blah.

Christ, I've gotten lazy.

I used to play tennis, but I sucked. It's still better than the other options, though.
