yerssot
Does anyone do sports here? I want to know if you are playing competition or something like that.
(I just want to say I play tabletennis and that my team is numbre one)

Texas
I don't play as in a team at school or anything, but I like to play tennis, volleyball, football, and synchronized swimming......I'm just joking about the last one big grin

yerssot
really? yeah right!

Texas
So confrontational the Dutch roll eyes (sarcastic)

yerssot
Hooooooooooooooooo! I'M NOT DUTCH, I'M FLEMISH NOT DUTCH

Texas
Flemish????? I've never heard of Flemland roll eyes (sarcastic)

finti
Well it bordes to Smurf land big grin

Ushgarak
He's Belgian, Texas. It's next to Holland so naturally they hate each other.

ToMacco
I play hockey. In a damn expensive league for that matter. It costs me $400 for 20 games!

finti
I play football(soccer) for my pub smile

Texas
.............when your sober that is..................

yerssot

Texas
*note to self*never go to Vlaanderen stick out tongue wink big grin

yerssot
yeah, go to the ugliest part of Belgium

Texas
Just out of curiosity, in which part is Brussels?

finti
ever heard of hell big grin

Texas
Stavanger??????????

yerssot

Texas
OK smile

mechmoggy
Way too much Flem in here for my liking, I'm off.....

Texas
sounds like something I'd say

finti
yeah a lot of bull roll eyes (sarcastic)

Texas
I know

finti
I doubt it..

yerssot
more room for me evil face

JediOasis
I play in a semi pro baseball league during the summer. Its basically a bunch of buddies and me keep on playing after high school. Its a lot of fun and I play 3rd base and catcher. Baseball is the best sport going. I also golf and play intramural basketball here at UK.

Texas
Golf is very difficult

ToMacco
I play golf in a very crude mannor. Most people don't like to play with me, because I swear A LOT and throw my clubs farther than I hit the ball!

yerssot
isn't that the way you're supposed to play it? eek!

Texas
yes evil face

yerssot
so what is the problem than To?

ToMacco
You know, I used to work as a maintenance guy on a golf course. And I SWEAR golfers would aim at us when we were doing something out on the course. What bastards!

Sandler in Happy Gilmour: "Golf requires goofy pants and a fat ass." big grin

DJ Velocity
Well I play roller hockey, I love ice hockey and rugby. I like fighting too.

sand person no. 10
i only play football, i am the rock on which our defence is built, in other words if i go past the halfway line blood goes to my head and i swing and miss the ball, then my mates beat me up.

yerssot
all that agression .... roll eyes (sarcastic)
just beat up your neighbour!

ToMacco
Marge: (to Lisa) "Don't worry if you're flunking Gym, honey. Sports are a very unimportant aspect of life!"

(Enter Homer)

Homer: "Sports, sports, sports, sports, sports! Marge! Bart gets to ride in the front seat of the car today, because he's a good guy at sports!"

Texas
I like it when the audience starts shouting 'KILL BART' 'KILL BART', and it applies both to Bart and Lisa! Genius writing!

Ushgarak
What I never got about that episode is that Bart refuses to tak the shot and this is presented as neither of them winning.

But isn't that just the same result as Lisa saving the shot, so technically SHE won?

ToMacco
yeah, Ush, but it wasn't who won or lost, I think.

Bart and Lisa both decided that it wasn't important who won. They both played a great game, and decided to leave the game at a tie.

Homer: "They're both losers! LOSERS!!!" big grin

Ushgarak
Still would have been a tie if she'd saved it though... don't see what her team were annoyed about...

Of course, I appreciate the real point here, but it was still made out to be a compromise.

ToMacco
Let's start spouting off some of our favorite episodes.

I think one of the better one's was when Ralf falls in love with Lisa on Valentine's Day. While they are walking home from school, Ralf looks at Lisa and says "The doctor said I wouldn't have so many nosebleeds if I kept my finger out of there!" laughing out loud

ToMacco
Damn! I thought I was in "THE SIMPSONS" Thread.

yerssot
well, hockey IS a sport...

Texas
very smart that sourfoot

yerssot
who To?

Texas
Yeah, ok big grin

yerssot
don't insult him! it's not his fault he's stupid big grin

ToMacco
Your insults have no effect on me. stick out tongue wink

yerssot
And five minutes later you go to your mother and you cry; than I know that my job is done evil face

ToMacco
Actually, I went to your mother. And what we did, didn't include crying!!!!!!!!! evil face evil face smokin'

yerssot
so you went up all the way to heaven and then back to hell? impressif

ToMacco
oh sorry

Has she passed on? I didn't mean any disrespect, yerssot. sad

Texas
That was wrong regardless, Macco.

ToMacco
I was kidding around, how the hell was I supposed to know.

Sorry yerssot. smile

yerssot
well, it's an old one but...
Friday we will (VMS D) play against Meerdaal, our closest oponment.
At the moment I'm standing togather with one from Meerdaal on place one on the 'best players list'. There will be NO showdown because he will not play sad

finti
what is this? football

Ushgarak
Yerss plays table tennis, I think.

Lara
well I play a variety of different sport being at school an all.
At the moment I'm doing DANCE, which involves some killer streches.sad

yerssot
oh sad
that sounds horrible! well, it will end someday...

ToMacco
Lara, you're complaining about stretching? Boy, what a softy!

yerssot
got a problem with that?

ToMacco
roll eyes (sarcastic)

yerssot
don't roll your eyes at me like that sissy!

Texas
Yeah dont roll your eyes, Yerssot has a patent & trademark on the 'roll eyes (sarcastic) '
rolling on floor laughing

yerssot
that's right!
OMG! The trainer is out of his mind!
On Wednesday we only have a half-day of school, so I thought:
Hmmm, good, have a few hours off, let's phone smile
yeah right! training starts 2 hours early!
That means: 4 HOURS!

Lara
I'm not complaining because I'm very supple and flexible. It's just some of the other girls in my class start to scream as they havent done gymnastics or anything like that before involving really akward positions and streches. smile wink

Texas
hmmmmm, may I observe one of these gymnastics classes?eek! evil face

yerssot
now Tex, go back to your mother and go to sleep, it's already late for you!

By the sounds of it, you are very good at it... cool!

Texas
It's only 10:09 a.m, I still have eye buggersrolling on floor laughing

yerssot
back from training, darn he can be hard! (the trainer I mean)

Texas
and your training for what exactly?

yerssot
Friday we have to play against the team that's also on number 1: Meerdaal.

The coach said that we weren't fit enough! well, we "visited" Leuven, wich is 7 kilometres away from there, so that made 14 kilometres then we got a break, and trained for 3 hours with some break in between.
We were all very very angry at him!!!!

Lara
I'm not surprised. I was you I'd tell that coach of yours to stick his championship up hie ass.

mah
he could do that, but then : there goes yerssot's football-career down the drain.

yerssot
my football-carriere is already down the drain,
that's why I'm playing tabletennis

mah
are you good at it?

yerssot
I'm now standing in the individual ranking of 6th class number one and I haven't lost a single set; so this season is a very good one for me!

mah
congrats,maybe we have an upcoming tabletennis-star at this forumsmile

Texas
All the fine chicks always fight over the table tennis championrolling on floor laughing

ToMacco
Hmm, I've never seen that.confused

yerssot
a player or girls? big grin
I have a note that I can't do any sports in school tomorrow due to the match. I like it!

ToMacco
How could you possibly hurt yourself so that you couldn't play table-tennis?

confused roll eyes (sarcastic) roll eyes (sarcastic) roll eyes (sarcastic)

yerssot
it's easy to hurt your legs (and espaccially when you have a week right knee like me) , and you have your arm ofcourse...

Texas
Like Chess playersroll eyes (sarcastic)

Lara
Friday afternoon and guess what......?
I've just had dance and the teacher was giving me a really hard time because my group couldnt get the moves together because I forgot the music this morning.
so now I've got to go home and warm down w/ some more streches so that I can crack my back.
oh! gotta go now the IT room is shutting.!*bumer**sigh*sad

yerssot
teachers like to yell sad
doesn't sound like a friendly person, not by a very very very long shot

yerssot
I'm off now, wish me luck...
(yeah right! like you would do that!)

mah
good lucksmile

finti
Bury my heart at Wounded Kneebig grin - Sitting Bull

yerssot
just awake and ready for training (again, the slavedriver!)
First time this season we lost sad
here are the results:
VMS D- Meerdaal H: 7-9
yerssot (E2) -Spelfons (D6): 8/11 3/11 11/8 11/3 11/8
yerssot (E2) -Gelaude (D6): 12/10 11/7 11/8
yerssot (E2) -Van Eylen (E2): 11/5 2/11 11/8 16/18 11/13
yerssot (NG) -Degreve (Not Qualified): 9/11 11/7 6/11 11/7 11/9
won: 3 lost 1

As you can see, I lost one match that could decided it all! With that one match won we would have got 8-8 and got a point!
I was too tired after the first two games (they both are 3 places above me, meaning that even in a higher competition they could go for champion...) but I won, giving everything I had, so I got too tired for the next game; still I played rather good...
And besides, there were also others that could have won more...
But I'm still number one in the individual competition, the number two is Van Eylen (from Meerdaal H) but he lost 2 games, so I'm leading with one...

yerssot
got back from training to find out that we lost our first place of promotion to VMS E; this means that all the powers will be fixated on VSM E and not my team VMS D, just because we lost against Meerdaal sad

mah
I'm sticking to the virtual table-tennis

try this

yerssot
good game, but there should be one improvement: playing till 11 not 21...

mah
yeah, it's only a beta version so maybe it'll come in the finished version.

yerssot
strange game to be honest, but a relaxing one

Lara
*too tired to stay awake, falls asleep*

mah
you're talking about sleep in another thread, and by the looks of it lara sleeps 1/3 of the time she's on these forumsbig grin

yerssot
she looks cute when she sleeps

mah
good for you

Lara
*turns over and headbutts the corner of the desk, then falls on the floor, wakes up w/ a start*
hey! what going on? who hit me?

yerssot
*jumps towards Lara*
Let me look at that. Come, I have water here for that.
*whispers*
it was King Jedi!

finti
Have you played against Forrest Gump

yerssot
no, I asked him, but he didn't want to

Ushgarak
What's wrong with play to 21?

yerssot
that's a rule and it's around now for 2 years...

It's for making tabletennis more "fun" and more understandable for others so the tv-channels would pay a lot for it...

(even the size of the balls changed: 40mm and not 38 mm)

check this site out: http://users.pandora.be/luc.calluy1/meerdaal.htm

I'm still with VMS D (3the now)

Ushgarak
Fair enough...

yerssot
no it's not! (if you are talking about the ranking)
we could have won that one!

Ushgarak
I was actually referring to your clearly superior table tennis knowledge.

yerssot
all hail me! big grin

well, did you know you could only take your towel over 6 points?

Ushgarak
Err... sorry?

yerssot
when it's for example 6-0 you can take a quick rest: take a quick drink, use your towel to wipe of the sweat...

mah
yerss., i'm looking at the top-12 player-ranking, who are you?

yerssot
sorry it's not updated yet.

I'm Ceustermans R (the one of VMS D)
I looked at it and here is the ranking for this week:

01 Ceustermans R E2 VMS D 15/16
02 Van Eylen S E2 Meerdaal 18/20

(numbers 3 and 4 didn't played in that game so they are dropped out in the official ranking, not in this website though)

mah
okay, nice.

yerssot
and this friday we play against pingouin...
and we have the worst team ever now!
Van Buyten, Smets, Rodeyns and yerssot
(E2; E6; E2 and E2)
Smets can't play good and Rodeyns isn't better!

DJ Velocity
Well I think I'll go down the beach to fight the gypos (thats gypsies).smile

yerssot
ok, you do that, and I'll search your pills big grin

Lara
*yawns adn falls asleep*

finti
finally

yerssot
*looks at Lara and puts a blancket on her*

ow, I had a "great" day on training mad

yerssot

yerssot- Mertens (E6)
11/6 11/6 11/7

yerssot- Verhaegen (NQ)
7/11 7/11 11/13

yerssot-Overloop smile (E6)
11/5 11/5 11/3

yerssot- Van Danne (E6)
11/6 11/9 11/4

Well, I couldn't press my game the second match, but we won 4/12 (this makes that the E2 of Meerdaal is again at level with me...)
got back from training a "little" earlier; probably get suspended...

mah
nice playing, now beat that Verhaegen next time smile

yerssot
nope sad lost a game

mah
when you bet my friend, eventually you lose.....er,wait that was something else....when you win lots of games, eventually you have to lose one, thats life smile

yerssot
hey! I lost one already! smile
bwah, everyone in the club is saying that what ever happens, I'll play in 5th next year smilesmile

mah
only when you stand in front of Verhaegen, will you become a true table-tennis-knight. stick out tongue

yerssot
nooooooooo!!!!
I want to become a master big grin

yerssot
you know what? I got suspended for one day! ha! and that's today, a day whitout training! what a dork! hey, I'm not gonna go to training on Monday if he's attitude doesn't change!

mah
you better watch out, soon you'll be kicked out of the team if you keep on like that. and you don't want that do you?

yerssot
hey! I didn't start acting like that! besides; I only got one day, not a week!

mah
ok smile seems like you're not that good friends with your coach.

yerssot
not this week!!
I'm captain of my team, so I can choos who plays, and he begins to but in!
Who's the boss of the D? ME! Hey, I can take critisism but NOT when we haven't played!
So HE changed the team, witouth me knowing, and with the ones I picked we still would have won!

yerssot

mah
hmm, too bad

yerssot
don't mind me! just delete it!
otherwhise it will start all over again

mah
smile

yerssot
nothing smile about it!

mah
okay, sad

just a bit strange to see that your feelings for your coach is that bad .

yerssot
hey! he hadn't ANYTHING to do with my team! and then he begins to yank about it, and not only to me but to the whole club!

Ushgarak
That's often how it is with coaches. They tend to have final line authority on these things.

yerssot
so why do you need a captain then?

Ushgarak
To lead the team. That doesn't mean you have final authority.

yerssot
not even when you can pick your own players...?

Ushgarak
Yup.

yerssot
roll eyes (sarcastic)
so what is the purpose of this then???? I mean, "all in all, you're just another brick in the wall" (don't start finti, I know the song)
stupid!

Ushgarak
I think you should be able to well enough appreciate the importance of a captain without thinking he also has to have absolute, final line authority over everything.

yerssot
hey, no problem anymore... I stopped as my job of captain, now Emile has taken over

mah
so you're back at training now then?

yerssot
I never left training... on monday...
I have no problem with authority but please not one hour before the game! and I can change everything then! mad

Lara
*headbutts desk!*
