did u guys see Monfils impersonate JRK? last set 1st serves only... tons of double faults.. double faults 4 times on match point....

and WINS!

reminds me of dubs with jrk where he would start with 2 double faults and i'd look at him like "what are you doin pal?" and then he would ace out the rest of the game. its like the basketball player that has 20seconds left on the shot clock and just heaves a 3 pointer from almost out of bounds. coach goes "wuddyadoiiii..." but then he swishes it so coach says.. "good shot!"

go JRK! famous server and avocado slicer!

I haven't seen that movie in over 20 years, but now I'm dying to watch it again. Time to check NetFlix online. I'm pretty certain it will stand the test of time.

Man, another blast from the past quote.

That's why we purchase seats... the car seat goes in the airplane seat. The car seat already attaches to the stroller so we just roll that bad boy up to the plane, take the car seat out and check the stroller.

Me, I carry my wallet, iPhone, and some headphones on whenever I fly. I never have a carry on bag. With kids though you do have to have the diaper bag etc.

Ha, yeah I was watching it. Balls to wall, that's how you play. Monfils has a weird serve stance though. It looks like his feet are right next each other.

Geez, brian baker, monfils, serena, and others all get ankle or knee injuries but none wearing adidas! Shock!

Those are some seriously cool shoes! I noticed the kente cloth design from the headband and the shoes in Serena's match the other day.

I just wonder what percentage of the sale goes to charity? I'm also wondering if dropping $150+ on shoes is the best way to celebrate black history month?

We bought two stollers - one Side-by-side MacClaren and and tandem Graco the fits the car seats. The Graco stroller never made it out of the box. Thing's a monster. LOL!

Good laugh over the Jrk reference.

In case anyone cares...tournament update:

We won the 1st match 2-1. Our 4.0s rolled 4 & 1, our 3.5s lost in a 3rd set breaker, and me & my partner pulled out a tight 5-7, 7-5, 10-8 win. Got another match @ 5.

Nice Win Mclovin!

Mclovin - saw your match today. That one guy who was hitting with both hands had about 50 lucky lobs that just landed on the baseline or right inside haha it was kind of ridiculous. I think you guys should've won in straights, but good win nonetheless!

Topaz · 01-18-2013, 02:02 PM

Way to go McLovin!!!

And I heard Downs did well today too?

Thanks! Not hard with my partner haha and the guy we played hurt his leg but kept playing.

You start tomorrow?

McLovin · 01-18-2013, 03:01 PM

Yeah, I played the 1st match real nervous, until ~ 2-1 in the 2nd set, then I started to loosen up a bit.

We lost the 2nd match 0-3. My match was real painful because (a) we were down 0-4 in the 2nd (after winning the 1st 6-3), came back to 4-all, then lost it 4-6.

Then in the tiebreak, we lost 14-12, and I had a gift sitter I dumped into the net at 12-all. Oddly, I played much better in the 2nd match, but lost.

I heard downs beat up on some 3.5s today...

We don't play until 5 tomorrow, so its time to drink!!! What time(s) do you all play?

Sup2Dresq · 01-18-2013, 04:04 PM

When you guys talk about downs beating up on 3.5s and 4.0s I think of Kramer from Seinfeld dominating the dojo.

Topaz · 01-18-2013, 04:36 PM

Yup, we start tomorrow at 3:30!

See you guys tomorrow!

Sup2Dresq · 01-18-2013, 06:01 PM

Caps play tomorrow in Tampa! Wearing ovechkin shirt to celebrate! Vodka as well...you know because he's Russian.

That's hilarious. The exact same reference was thrown out last night @ dinner.

As a good friend of mine likes to say: Everything in life comes back to a Seinfeld reference.
