Pom Pom and the Cheat?
Where is it stated that Pom Pom and the Cheat play badminton? Heimstern Läufer 05:46, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- The Cheat is holding a badminton racquet in labor day, and Strong Bad says he was playing badminton with Pom Pom in Where's the Cheat? - though the latter one was part of a prank call, so it's not proof that Pom Pom actually plays it... (The appearances list is there for a reason). --phlip TC 09:45, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- OK, good point about the appearances list. Now that I've checked it, I find the references to Pom Pom and the Cheat questionable. As Phlip points out, the only reference to Pom Pom playing badminton is in a prank call, which doesn't seem to warrant a mention on this page. As for the Cheat: do we know that those are in fact badminton racquets that he's carrying in labor day? I really couldn't tell you if there's a difference between badminton racquets and tennis racquets; somebody let me know if there is. If there isn't, the reference to the Cheat seems also to be shaky.

- Badminton racquets are longer and skinnier than tennis racquets, I believe... Tennis racquets are almost tear-shaped. --DorianGray
