Well, Darin and I started our badminton battle. And it was intense. I absolutely despise losing. He absolutely despises losing, and losing to a girl? He'd rather chew off his own arm than ever lose to me. I had never played before, so I can't say that I was good, or anything close to it. Of course he wouldn't let me come close to winning. I was ready to throw my racket straight at his head-- and anyone that knows my temper knows that I was about 5 seconds away from doing so. After losing my 6th game in a row, I was ready for a vodka drink. Now I understood why the bar was there-- those Germans were on to something with that idea...
Afterwards, as we were getting ready to leave, I needed some water before I passed out. It was the most I had moved in 2 weeks! I'm looking around for water fountains and there aren't any. I ask Darin where they are hiding the water and he tells me, "water isn't free!" It's not free--in a gym?! What kind of communism is that! So we had to go buy a glass of water. For 50 cents. Everyone at home--be grateful for your free water. You don't realize what a wonderful thing it is until you're on the verge of passing out at a gym.

A bunch of people working out, playing sports, swimming while under the influence, hmmm sounds like a wonderful experience. I would like to see that 1st hand. Take a picture of a drunk trying to make the ball in the hoop for me would ya! :)
hahahaha you kill me! I'm sitting here at Caribou Coffee writing on my own blog when a little need for Lindsayisms creeped into my head. And it was worth saving my posting to read this! That was hillarious Lins. Germany is amazing...I wish I would have stopped by when I was in London. I do have a question though...so now that you know that there is a bar at the gym, will you be venturing over there more often? I mean, kill two birds with one stone Lins. Oh, and try working out drunk for me. Safely, though. Also, I was totally exposed to the water situation when I was there too. All of my Aussie friends would yell at me if I didn't finish my water because they have a huge water drought there too. It's very sad! They also charge you to answer your call of nature in Europe too. Paying to take a shit? Hmmm...could be a good business.
Feed Darin a few, well, alot of drinks first, THEN let the game begin! Jeesh!
hahahahaha....I laughed really hard at this one. I think that bar kind of defeats the whole purpose of the gym, but that's just my opinion :)
