Is it true that Badminton is now an Olympic sport?   

Did I hear that correctly last night during the parade of countries?

If that is true, I fear the imminent fall of civilization . . .

I've met a few of the fencing team members, I deliver to the Northwest Fencing Center, where a number of the foil and epee fencers practice.

I was stoked to see that!  Fencing is my fav - practiced in college and still have some of the gear.  Really amazing seeing how 10 years ago the thought of America taking a sweep in any Fencing category was basically fantasy. 

Uhh, thanks. Guess I don't need to watch it now.

That's hardly a spoiler this is big news.  I was about to post up the same thing.  You can pretty much expect people to be discussing the wins here shortly after they happen.   

[Rameses]

Uhh, thanks. Guess I don't need to watch it now.

[SPOILER for ball licking]

Your mom just swept it.   

Badminton.. I can't wait to see the team felching competition...

Everyone seems to talk a lot of smack about badminton. I think they will respect the game more when a Shuttlecock is hit at you at over 200 mph 

I sense a joke coming on about a Shuttlecock 

Its not your casual game at a family Picnic. Its a extremely athletic sport. I can think of other so called sports in the Olympics where you can be completely out of shape but yet still win.
