dude, that sux about the rubberized paint and most definitely the bad luck with your dubs partner!

Nike shoes as well. Wow. There is a lot...and I mean a lot of adidas around the club. The academy kids, pros and even the old guys are sporting them.

I hate to admit it...but I've been caught looking at the shoes and clothes. I liked the jack sock outfit and Nandos. however....I have not tried anything.

Btw, your doubles style would be king of the grey hair fellowship here. They would envy your crafty shot selection, then ask you when you'll be heading back to your country. Seriously, there is little to no Asians here. Scares me...I may ship Ppl or shcmad here to be the kato of the club.

tennismonkey · 09-12-2011, 10:20 AM

yeah i felt terrible for my partner. getting beat on the court is one thing. but injuries suck.

so now i'm gearing up for the singles tourney this coming weekend. to prepare i need a lot more cowbell and a younger body. i promised myself i wouldn't play old man slice and dice tennis. i'm going to play young man slice and dice tennis!

I have the prince demo in hand.

Sup can practice with anyone with a 1hbh...but in a match it turns into Sappy's volleys. Decades of a 2hbh have ruined me. So back to the 2hbh. The guys here laugh because they seem to like the 1hbh but when they see the 2hbh they think it's a no brainer. Still sticking with the Wilson 95 blx, but thought why not try my old aeropro and the prince. Means nothing...it's all about training.

Long story,,,yeah the paint looks fragile on the prince.

Sup2Dresq · 09-12-2011, 10:23 AM

Paulman,

Can you extend a racquet length? And match? ..with the confidence of jrs's waffle love?

tennismonkey · 09-12-2011, 10:26 AM

make the switch sup. adidas is european. everything is classier in europe. cars, women, watches.

nike gets their styling cues from ocean pacific - remember OP from the 80's and 90's.

plus three stripes is classier than a swoosh. plus nike is a greek (european) goddess of victory.

i'm contemplating a switch to PUMA. but i don't think they make tennis shoes. but how can you beat having a puma logo on everything? i know i lost 0-6, 0-6 but i have a fricking puma on my shirt beyotch!

don't know what you mean by asian dood. i'm about as asian as biscuits and gravy.

I'll take a blue crab crab cake and call it a day. No cracking or trying to dig out the good bits.

Puma and Adidas is pretty much the same thing.

Puma was started by the The Adidas guys older brother after they split becuase the older Brother Rudolf was a bigger **** (but thyet were both members of the Nzai party) than the younger brother Adolf (Adi) and Adi ratted Rudolf out the US as a member of the ****'s. In 1951 he bought the three stripes from a finnish company for like 1500 bucks and a couple bottles of whiskey.

So either way you are buying **** shoes so they are pretty much the same.

**** = N A Z I

Hey man howzit.

Do you still hit incredibly massive amounts of topspin. And by Massive I actually mean none.

Welcome back.

Sorry I had to beat Sup to the punch

Hey JR,

Looking for anything except sales/customer service positions. Sometimes I wish I either double-majored or majored in something else. Foreign languages/International relations is getting me nowhere these days, in this economy.

What's up HW?

Thank you. Yeah...you know me, I be rollin like that.

What happened to Sup? Did he retire/move?

tennismonkey · 09-12-2011, 11:11 AM

hahahaa. i knew they were brothers but i didn't know about the na.zi connection. thanks for the history lesson. funny and ironic too because you drive a na.zi car.

then again i have electronics in my home that were manufactured by people who destroyed pearl harbor and pillaged and ra.ped all of asia. i think i have a washer and dryer made by people who used to own slaves back in the civil war. i'm fairly sure the guy who washes dishes at my favorite restaurant stole that job from actual u.s. citizens who are dying to wash dishes and need that job to restore our economy to greatness.

i'm not really sure how i live with myself on a daily basis.

Dude, you live near DC, there has to be a need for a multilingual, international-relation-ist somewhere.

I'd set up a search in Indeed and see what you can pull for positions requiring speaking the other languages you studied. You could also tutor on the side.

If you have a resume, send me a copy. Can't promise anything, but I'll keep my eyes open.

BTW- job hunting sucks... that is all....
