- Free Time of a Computist
- ---------------------------------------
- Even a sworn computer-user, a
- computist, like I or TWS has sometimes
- some notions of doing something else
- than just phreaking. Then we feel our
- body crying for punishment and we go to
- play badmington. That's right, a hobby
- that doesn't involve computers as is,
- but a heavy torture that gets your
- every gland to pour sweat and every
- muscle to scream for rest.
- In badmington you have a bat, a ball,
- which is called shuttlecock and a
- playing court with one or three other
- players. The goal of the game is to hit
- the shuttlecock on the other side of
- the net that divides the court so hard
- or so difficultly that your opponent(s)
- can't return it. The serve is as in
- volleyball, from a miss the opponent
- gets the ball and points come from
- serves only.
- TWS started playing just yesterday
- (now is Thursday the 19th) and right
- now he is lying on the bed moaning as
- #move 325,0
- his aching muscles still protest from
- the ordeal of two hours of hard play.
- He can't sit, he barely can stand, he
- almost screams when he tries to walk,
- but he'll be there when we play some
- more next Friday night at 8.00 PM.
- Badmington is an addictive game. The
- rhytm of the game is lightning fast.
- Even though the all flies slower than
- in tennis, it has a shorter ways to go
- and the player has less time to react.
- Also moving is hard as the player must
- rush into a corner, hit the ball and
- then return into the middle of the play
- ground in order to be able to reach the
- next ball. We recommend highly.

- Have you checked the mirror today?
- Did you, by any chance happen to notice
- strange hair around the lower half of
- your face? When you sniffed, did you
- feel a weird, bad smell? Have you
- forgotten to change your socks for the
- last three weeks? If you answer yes to
- all three questions, you have a great
- change to have contracted Grendelism.
- Only known cure for it is - death.<G&T>
