LOL!! I'm gonna bet that nothing she said was an exaggeration of her experience.

I should probably watch the Olympics more.

She's a handsome woman, Gerard. Her Adam's apple mesmerized me...unless that was a shuttle cock.

Only one of my two hospital ER visits as a kid occurred as a result of badminton. I went up for a high one and upon landing, the second body part to impact the ground after the side of my foot was the end if my tibia - or at least that's the way it felt. Until that day, I never knew ankles were capable of ballooning to three times normal size in a matter of seconds. Interesting colors appear too, but that takes longer.

I have, ever since, had enormous respect for badminton. It is not a child's sport, as Mary also attests in that clip.

Nah! *Anyone* can play badminton. I can't believe they made it an Olympic sport! My dog could play badminton.... ok - maybe not my dog, cause she's a corgi (all footstool, no legs). Next thing you know, they'll make ping pong an Olympic sport! Oh, wait...

That's sort of a cross between Dustin Hoffman's down-the-stairs stream of consciousness in "Tootsie" and Peter Finch's tirade in "Network."

Very funny, and too true!

Jewel: Didn't see the Adam's apple, but her VOICE is a perfect male tenor.

Gees, and all this time I thought she was a guy!

I guess it was a shuttlecock, then, Aquila. My mistake.

Is mary carillo a lesbian?

If not, not. If so, she's our kind of lesbian.

I wasn't thinking lesbian when I saw her. Steroid overdose, maybe, but not lesbian

Was playing with one of my cousins when we were kids. We played all the time. He sprained his ankle so badly we had to take him to a doctor. He managed to re-sprain it so many times in the 20 years since that he finally had to have it surgically rebuilt last winter. Great game.

Jewel, she's a woman? My first thought was he was a guy.

Have you ever considered creating an ebook or guest authoring on other websites?

I have a blog centered on the same topics you discuss
and would love to have you share some stories/information.

I know my readers would value your work. If you are even
remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an email.
