on wednesday afternoons we used to play wiffleball at the science museum park. (just over the wall from the temple by the OK on bo guan).
it was just bread and myself at first, but we soon recruited john to play. kevlar eventually joined the game too.
the grass is still worn at the plate and pitcher's 'mound' from the day we played in the rain, tearing up the turf.
a wiffleball is not easy to control, but if thrown correctly, it can be even more difficult to hit.
nobody i ever played with could throw the ball like this kid.
that's just insane.

i thought that was on tuesdays?
we should have played when i was back...
you might be right.
we had one afternoon off that first year we worked together. i remember kev couldn't believe it - that we we were actually playing during work hours. to this day i think that's what convinced him to jump ship from yu ren to wei dao - the promise of paid afternoons off to better hone his wiffle skills.
I first heard the term wiffle ball bat in the Beastie boys song. rhymin' and stealin' " She did it like this, she did it like dhat, she did it with a wiffle ball bat". I pitched up to take a look, at my fine friends drinking beer, chewing the fat.. I think it was on Wednesdays 'cause unlike those two phat bastards un-winding on the cool grass.. I had to go back to teach three more hours from 3 to 6pm. I now work around the corner from Chung yo department store so TGIF, Ranch 1, Japper are always options for lunch -Bevy-Kevy
my japper joint closed. it's now an iced tea stand. thai's closed on wednesdays. turkey and bean sprouts for the ryanator on humpdays.
