today my ankle yelled: pop; Sup's elbow said: no mas; Sap's calf muscle said: I wonder what its feels like to go the other way; JRK's elbow is asking for one more shot; Xisbum's knee is trying to go out in style; Vitaly is getting sick; Eugeinus has a blister; Hollywood wants Kneissl. TWMAC are walking wounded.


p.s. I wonder what Kneissl frames feel like...

I too once tore a ligament on my ankle while playing bball. couldn't do much for a month which was a bummer. i stepped on a players ankle on the way down after taking a shot. i initially thought it was broken, it was that painful. I also heard that *pop* noise when that happend. lol

That's not funny! Aren't pops usually indicative of dislocations? I thought that a rushing feeling was an indication of a tear. And, if you're like me, a crunch pop snap is indicative of a dislocation and a fracture! Hooray.

haha yea i shouldn't be laughing. I was laughing at tfms post not the injury. yea I also got that rush of blood feeling when I tore my ligament plus the *pop* noise. I guess mine was a severe case. Never wanna have that feeling again.

the drugs are wearing off. it fing hurts. i seriously considered just taking a **** in the shower instead of walking over to the toilet.

when it popped i thought someone next to me hit a 1st serve right in the middle of the calf. i then quickly realized it wasn't a ball but rather the muscle itself. it had been a little sore since thursday so i guess i should of paid a little more attention to my body. well with the drugs worn off, i can say i'm done for at least a month. right now i'm dragging myself around the apartment using a chair with 4 tennis balled legs. ahhh fawk.

Too bad I rock the 4 5/8 with my Magilla Gorilla hands, LMAO!!!

Those sticks are only 90 if you buy two of them. I wish I could demo that mofo this week. Maybe there is a way, somehow... must be able to get my hands on one by Thursday.

Sappy - Good to hear the leg isn't too bad, but that's what you get for making fun of the Cowboys... haha, I'm just f***ing with you. At least you can still play poker.

***What's wrong with peeing in the shower?!?!?***

Don't forget...

Topaz stil wearing Adidas .. oh and bad feet, Zapvor's memory (nothing new), Skunk's ailment, TFM's Big Mac attack, Hollywood's broken heart, we even had a dead bird!!!!

So beware if I didn't call out your name (Nitefly, f1 tech, bad dog, mrhan...etc).

Going to be interesting if the wookie gets you....

Totally happy its not an ACL Sap. That would of been worse. However, it sucks you are in pain.. especially all alone. So get more drugs.. and I'll be right over with some beer.. can't let all those beautiful percocet go to waste.

Well Nitefly had hurt his back not too long ago, so maybe you should include him. Maybe by including him that will prevent a future YOTW event

Also, what do i have a broken heart from? If its the lesbian ex-girlfriend that broke up with me via email during the holiday of 2006 then I dont think that would qualify as YOTW.

If my broken heart is because I just checked and my JO shaker here at work is empty then. The wookie shall pay. Lucky for me I got a pound can of OldBay here for emergency purposes

sappy. texted you a few minutes ago to check on your status but it appears that it's not as bad as it could have been. still sucks. stay home and play guitar hero.

i emailed the league director and let her know that you are like an overcooked steak - DONE.


the TW MAC does seem to be comprised of the walking dead. i don't think i'm a hypochondriac but my ankle doesn't feel 100%. had considered going in to get it x-rayed. what does a stress fracture feel like?

oh last week i didn't like my new dunlops. a few days ago i kinda liked my new dunlops. with leather grips - i really like (not quite love) my new dunlops. they are growing on me - like fungus.

Default Sup2Dresq – Emergency stringing?

Sup,

I need to playtest Explosiv, the new potential wonder multifilament by WeissCannon, in comparison to Babolat’s Xcel Power, and Wilson’s K-Gut/Pro. The problem is that the stringer I’ve been using is currently away for a tournament, with several more coming up out of town.

I was impressed that you measured your own tension to the precise kg (or even half kg?); and I need that sort of serious professional attention to detail – and relatively fast turnaround.

I would very much appreciate delivering my Prostaffs to you; are you amenable? Of course I would pay in advance, and in cash. If you accept, is your aim email still the best way to contact you?

The strings should arrive by Thursday.

NICE! I will hobble anywhere to demo Kneissl! I have not had much of a desire to test Avery. I know they make a player's oversize; but I remember when those frames first came out, I read the customer feedbacks. The feedbacks were all stacked! It was like the same review and they just changed the name and location. I figured someone at Avery was trying to create a buzz. So they became dead to me.

Yes, I’m in DC, and I’ll bring them to you; my strings should arrive in a couple of days. Your rate is quite reasonable by the way.
