Anyone looking for a partner? Or do I bring one of my so called friends?!?!?!

BMS,

I passed on the tourney info. to several badminton players last nite at Mike and Aki wedding reception. I suspect that you will get an overflow of entries this year.
Tom N (my last years partner) says that he will begin training now, could be an interesting tournament. Jason and Thinh will have to defend their title.
Cheers!

**wood_22_chuck** · 09-20-2004, 03:22 PM

Okayyyyy ... since I have NO hope in going up against

1. Tom
2. Thinh
3. Jason
4. BTC
5. BMS
6. Mike
7. Aki

I'm wondering how far $18 will get me

... Maybe I'll up it to $21 and get a "bye" to the semis HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Sounds like you're reserving a ferry ticket for the weekend of Nov 21st?

Note to self, get flat-top hair cut & dye hair ying-yang (or maybe a bulls-eye for opponents to aim for, hee hee)

Cheers!

Tom's gonna have to train 24/7

to get in shape! Especially if the last time he had a racquet in his hand was last year's tourny!

Cheers!

Remember this is drop-flight A B C D!

You can strategically choose your flight and hope to win the division, or you can go all out and be the sacrifical lamb to the wolves...

...But remember, sometimes the wool/fleece from the sacrificial lamb get caught in the wolf's teeth & throat and they choke in the finals, thus the lamb is victorious!

ha ha ha haah

Bribery will get you no where, my bank account number is 342l5h350r30.

604Badder just asked me to partner up with him... so I guess we'll be the sacrificial lambs for the 2004 tourney

.

**wood_22_chuck** · 09-21-2004, 12:44 PM

Ahhh crap. I was still contemplating joining, and asking you for a partner cappy75.

I believe if panhandle and XYQH-watson paired up, they would be a formidable team indeed.

-dave

**604badder** · 09-21-2004, 01:40 PM

But we're still going to do our best to become the hardest meat to floss out of the wolf's teeth ever!!!

Who is "panhandle"?Have I meet him or played with him?

**wood_22_chuck** · 09-21-2004, 03:22 PM

He plays/lives in Victoria, but comes over quite often. Very good competitive player ... extremely athletic!

-dave

**604badder** · 09-21-2004, 08:38 PM

Hey BMS, so what does the T-Shirt look like this year? Can we get a BF exclusive preview here?

**SmashingBird** · 09-22-2004, 12:50 AM

just to clearify, the $18 includes the T-shirt right?

**cappy75** · 09-22-2004, 01:03 AM

Dude,

That'll teach ya

!!! I wanted to partner with you, but you kept giving me mixed signals. And then later, 604Badder asked me and the rest is history.

Oh and don't give Watson or Panhandle any ideas, we got enough troubles with the potential pairs coming into the tourny
