    Now wouldn't that be splendid!

    Chances are, the hockey teams will sit there muttering, "They gave it to those ****s out of pity."

    it's an esteemed position of the person who bears the province's flag as the province enters the game (keeping in mind all sports go in simultaneously), such as the flag-bearer in the olympics

    A beief History of One of the Bad families

    The Bad dad with a Badelbow....has 2 sons......
    One of The Bad sons may have....Badshoulder...
    the other Bad son may have......badknee.....
    and not to mention Badtamper for all the members of this Bad family
    (Bad tamper is not a good thing at all because the bad tamper of this bad dad had costed a bad marriage and broken the family more than 10 years ago)

    This Bad family all like to paly this Bad(minton).....game...and this Bad dad
    just learnt to become a Bad Umpire....
    So Bad is good in this Bad Family....but don't ask us about Good..........
    and if you twist the first d in dad horizontally 180 degree......this dad will become bad

    BTW, one of the other Bad families is Badrad's.....lil badrad and badknee (or lil badelbow) are mixed partners and they won the U19 Mixed National in Montreal last year!:D
    Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad.......:p :p :p

    My two bad sons started playing this Bad game when they are 4 & 6 in the living room on rainly days in the winter. Not hitting a Bird but Hitting a Balloon with the cover of the 4 litre icecream bucket without letting the balloon falls on to the floor. That is how they learn the over had, clear stroke and the hand eye coordinations.....These Bad sons are now 21 & 19 Years old.....That is why they are not Bad at this Bad games....but they wanted to do better each passing day....... :rolleyes: :p :D
