bubba said...: soapydave, i like your self portrait. however, i wish not to be there. no, no, no... that's not a shuttlecock. that's a ping pong ball. somehow i have this really bad feeling, i'm digging a deeper hole for myself with this comment. ugh.; May 01, 2005 10:17 PM
soapyDave said...: but it looks like it has a tail (the ping pong ball) when you slow it down/pause it; May 02, 2005 9:22 AM
soapyDave said...: ps. would you like me to convert it to AVI?; May 02, 2005 9:23 AM
Kyle said...: Neat.

And that's a pingpong ball?

Yowza. Impressive.; May 02, 2005 11:28 AM
bubba said...: soapydave,

soapyDave said...: yes, sonnet with her nose to the lens.

i see you have AVI now - i forgot to let you know that i converted "aint gonna work" and "still alive" to AVI. let me know if you want me to send.

and the bikeclub ad is excellent; May 02, 2005 12:28 PM
dean said...: Are you sure about what it actually is? I think that they might be these things that they also have in Vietnam and Cambodia. Its basically a plastic spring that's attached to a feather. I used to buy them for the orphans all the time (they break easily), and I bought about 10 of them in Vietnam and sent some home. I've got about 2 left sitting somewhere in my house. We can all go play one day.; May 02, 2005 12:47 PM

soapyDave said...: hmmm, i think Dean has it - i was going to say also that it sure doesn't move like a ping pong ball.; May 02, 2005 1:50 PM
bubba said...: hey, i think i'm the authority on contemporary chinese recreational sports here...the vietnamese and cambodians are rather old school with bouncing objects with their feet...; May 02, 2005 4:05 PM
bubba said...: by the way dave, when and if you get the bike club site up and running, i'll add a link...; May 02, 2005 4:13 PM
soapyDave said...: we're planning it in our heads. any suggestions for features - send me an email.
or better still Amazing Race finale tomorrow?? come see the early show...; May 02, 2005 10:30 PM
parabolicant said...: I'm afraid Al that I partially have to side with Dean. SOme of my little students have these things too. It didn't have a plastic spring though. It was more like a flattened (ovalesque) pingpong ball. But I guess you were there with the camera. Who ever will tell us the truth?; May 03, 2005 9:47 AM
bubba said...: dave, like that song goes, "get it outta your head and onto your website..."

i don't think the finale for TAR is tonite. they still have to philiminate one more team before the F3. then it's the double episodic dash for finish.; May 03, 2005 10:59 AM
bubba said...: mike, i wish i can take credit for the footage but i can't (my sis is the artist). you're livin wid da bruthas, so it must be a non-ping pong ball.; May 03, 2005 11:04 AM
dean said...: Quite possible that its a late model. However, in the spirit of 'international night', I'm going to bring the article in reference for show and tell.

I once asked what it was called in Vietnamese, don't remember though. I know for sure in Khmer (Cambodian) its called a "sigh!"; May 04, 2005 9:22 PM
