First post not fruit and no but it looks like fun

 

[railbomber]

such an awesome sport, semi-steep learning curve i guess, but once you get good its bomb! Been playing for like a year and a half now.

My biggest pet peeve are glass walled courts, they deaden the bounce so harshly

squash is a vegetable, but squash is sooo much fun. Wear goggles though my uncle lost his eye playing now hes like a pirate.

Didn't read the word like right away but still a very funny way to describe them

 

[2_fadez]

false.

it is a fruit.

The leaf and stalks of plants are the vegatables (spinach, lettuce, celery)

The stuff that is bore from the plant that grows off of it (containing seeds) is the fruit.

Squash looks like the dumbest sport until you actually play it once.

Then you realize it really is most boring/uninteresting sport ever.

 

[2_fadez]

I prefer racquetball

 

[ThundaKilla]

so thats why a tomato is a fruit? interesting

 

[Batman.]

little known fact, Squash used to be called "Squash Racquets"

but yes, racquetball is 50 times more fun. when your sport is named after a fruit it definitely does not help attract new players.

 

[2_fadez]

people think because it's in a salad, it's a vegetable.

thats usually why people get mixed up.

 

[ThundaKilla]

does that mean a pumpkin is a fruit too?

 

[2_fadez]

yes.

and your tim&eric icon suits the revelation you are having very well

 

[ThundaKilla]

I never ate pumpkin pie 'cause i thought it was weird to eat a vegetable pie, might have to try it now.

 

[2_fadez]

eat pecan pie instead. its fruit too

 

[ThundaKilla]

WTF, why aren't they nuts.Is a peanut a fruit too?

 

[2_fadez]

yep

 

[ballsofsteeze]

walnuts too. one nut is in a case on top of its fruit. you can eat the fruit. i've tried it and it is disgusting.

 

[2_fadez]

marijuana is also a fruit

 

[SpaghettiWizard]

Dirt is a fruit.

 

[Chief.Queef]

Eheath is a tomatoe.

I enjoy squash. I have played a lot more racquetball than squash, but actually prefer squash. It is more refined. Definitely harder to learn to play decent squash than decent racquetball. I also enjoy tennis. Racquetball and tennis are not complementary pursuits, as their strokes are so different. Taking a break from racquetball for a while I think.

Trivia fact: Putting that you play Squash on your application to Cornell gains you one point.

 

[Caspaaa]

Pizza is a vegetable

 

[e_strapp]

This thread is lulz

Ya it definitely helps u for college. Ive been playing for 3 years now and play about 4 times a week. One thing that sucks is that the season is in the winter. So half my weekends r taken up with squash matches while my friends r shredding the hills.

 

[Flying~Squirrel]

nope. its a flower. thats why its called "bud," because its a budding flower.
