We Put the "Bad" in Badminton

We went to the Bingo Bonanza Philippine Badminton Open at the Ultra. The Philippine delegates headed by the Asuncion siblings actually had some fight in them. Or it could be that the opponent just plain sucks. Either way they were winning some heated battles.

I asked Rickett if it was possible for a shuttle cock to shoot into your mouth.

He gave me a funny look.

Apparently he didn't hear "shuttle" in my sentence.

. . .

I was thinking about someone prematurely celebrating a solid smash then receiving a mouthful of feathers when his opponent returns his shot. Now that's something you won’t see everyday.

. . .

Instead of going to the office, we would visit Flash Elorde’s Gym in Sucat tomorrow to procure some footage that we could use in our upcoming boxing documentary. Flash Elorde is one of those better champions who invested wisely after his career. But despite his popularity, I can’t imagine how a famous ex-champ would look like. Maybe he’d humor us tomorrow by acting the part.
