Keep it clean boys (girls welcome too).

This is the place to tell us who you are going to destroy, then back it up.

Video, wagers, wit, mismatches, rematches, etc. encouraged.

I was always told to aim for big goals.

So my goal is @J011yroger

I will destroy you J011y, you better be very afraid because im coming for you!

You are sitting on that high chair of yours, but unaware in the shadows, there are ghosts lurking that want what you have, and we are coming to take it!

You should not underestimate me!

So what do you say, do you have the guts to do it, or are you afriad?

Let me know, so I can prepare for it, and crush you in arm wrestling!

If you are lurking in the shadows under my chair you should be worried about me farting.

Just checked in on my lunch hour and this thread already exceeding expectations. I sense this is just the warmup.

Diverging from this thread’s “spirit,” how feasible is it to arrange an international meeting for TTW members to play together and establish respective barraging rights?
I’d suggest somewhere in Europe, preferably UK (already have a long term visa) as a compromise on distance, but I am guessing it is too expensive for most? It could also be some cheaper country, as long as it has good weather and courts.

Keep an eye on the Tennis Travel section. Americans passing through Europe sometimes post there in advance, as I did for my visit in September.

Yeah, but there were a lot of Deuces so the match was closer than it might appear.

@mcs1970: maybe next time we shouldn't play left-handed?

That was very smart to keep the stronger hand protecting what's important. Otherwise, I had to see my opponents retire with badly damaged 'what is remaining'.

Come to Bali.
There is an new tennis academy opening. it will have 6 hardcourts (4 indoors) and 2 clay courts. There is already going to be a tournament in Aug, 2019. I think as part of the grand opening.

Can't do much trash talking myself as I have been in a state of perpetual rust from lack of regular playing and rare singles practice or matches.

We need an honarary mention of @2good4U
i will pay @2good4U whatever his "teaching" rate, if he beats me...
but if i win, he has to recite on video, and post to ttw:
"hi i'm larry the lobster, scuttling to you from sunny florida. i just got my arse kicked by a ttw 3.5."

other new matchups that would be fun:
travelerjma - i suspect his flattish style of play would be challenging and annoying
s&v not dead yet - to see if it is dead...
fire - cuz he's an svntennisaddict
user9 - but only if he spots me 2pts a game if we bet a couple cans & bragging rights
chael - more for the gun show competition... i'll bring my tank or nadal shirt too. flexing between games, ttw to rate from 1-7 :p
dgold - so we can roll on the mats after (bjj), and he can show me his latest submission.... and discuss the finer points of the knee slicer.
rogerroger - but not with racquets... chair or frying pan only, or play 2v1 against his son.
r2473 - because the bbq comp after will be epic... i'll bring my big green egg... and bacon of course.
byebyepoly - i challenge to a mini tennis match
heninfan - for the high ollie competition afterwards, i bet i could still do 1 board
leed - because getting beat by a legend would be epic, and i bet he knows the best surf spots after.
nav - well jsut because wherever we play will likely be the the coolest baddass location, and think of the drinks and party after
suresh - ...nuff said.
oserver - video an entire match where we both have to spin for every shot,... add alcohol, and it'll be a spinning tennis drinking game
<out of time lol>

Wait, you have a big green egg?

How do you like it?

Everyone raves about them but they are expensive.

love it. i have a mini egg too.
great for general grilling (burgers/steaks), long cook smoking (pork butts/brisquets), high heat (pizza)...
it's not as convenient at propane (i still have 2 that i don't use), in that you have build a fire,... but either way you need to "heat" the grill anyway, so in the end turns out to the about the same wait time anyway.
other alternatives: komodo joe (slightly cheaper price)
if i had it all over again, i'd still buy BGE, but i'd probably wait til someone moves, and is selling on craigslist. no one wants to bring it with them because it's so damn heavy, so you can buy one for like 1/3 price (or 1/2 price but with a bunch of accessories, like nest or custom table, etc...)
i was gonna go with a similarlly priced stainless steel (better quality is more rust proof), but i ultimately wanted somethign simple and "analog"... the SS grills i had in the past all required eventually replacing parts that were annoying to source, or whatever. you could go cheaper SS but will eventually rust. BGE, komodo joe (or similar), are basically bulletproof, and will last forever (will the metal parts will eventually rust, but it's easy to replace.

I’m all for a group-funded, good-sized “fee” to go toward over50champ’s flat earth society membership dues, contingent on him beating any of our challengers (Navigator, yourself, etc.). However, I would like him to wear a dress and recite the loser’s creed you’ve scripted if (WHEN) he loses.

Ours rusted out, need to get a new one but love the convenience of propane for just getting off the court and turning the knob but BGE would be awesome for cookouts and having people over. We BBQ nearly every weekend. Good idea to look for a used one.

for example, if i was shopping for one now... i'd make the trip for this: https://hartford.craigslist.org/fuo/d/avon-big-green-egg-table-cover-for-size/6780190162.html would save me >1000 (deals like this come up all the time... but never exactly when you want it :p)

if you go this route... (CL), you'll need:
1. truck
2. second person
3. https://www.amazon.com/PotLifter-Ga...UTF8&qid=1548955498&sr=8-4&keywords=pot+mover (it's fookin heavy and awkward)

So @travlerajm wants some trash talk. Careful what you ask for ... I can do that even with two suspect hamstrings.

Warning: on 2nd cup of coffee ... it was either this or foam rolling .... f*ck foam rolling.

Trash talk is the same as roasting ... right? 8-B

I think the OP should get top/first billing:

travlerajm practices on a racquetball court, has a 2hbh stroke with his left elbow surgically attached to his left hip, and plays with a 2lb racquet with 100lb string differential. You just have to play this freak show once ... but only once. :eek:

@Shroud ... I want to hit with Shroud for an hour, and trash talk everyone else on the forum while we hit. After that hour, I want to drink with him for hours, and talk about all the stuff we agree on, including Monty Python.

@Bender ... dude is my Asian son, and he ain't getting any inheritance, so the least I could do is hit with the young fella. He has never seen or heard of a flat ball, so he will get a constant feed of bh slices and flat fh.

@Traffic ... Velocity brother, we will just trash talk strings, and Mary Ann vs Ginger ... will carry over from hitting to drinking.

@Curious ... don't like to play people as old as Curious :p, but like the guy, so willing to "school him gently". It will start with getting his serve back all the time ... and I will try and play like that little dude that beat him up in that video.

@nytennisaddict mini ... foolish request. Let's see those perfect form spinny mini shots against alternating bunts barely clearing the net to sidelines. Dude is 5' 4" ... I bet I can lob him in mini.

@J011yroger is a farter ... so I will buy lunch first at my choosing, and then we will play in 100 degree high humidity heat. He will never hit a FH in 2 hours of tennis if I can help it. Come to think of it ... we will just play points with no serving.

@ChaelAZ .... don't much like the dude, and he certainly would not put up much of a fight on the tennis court, but I have an affinity for the Phoenix/Scottsdale area .... and he has access to courts ... so I would suffer through it. I predict a BBP win 6-2,6-2 ... unless he wears that blow up neck rack while he plays, then it is for sure double bagels.

@mad dog1 ... what can I say, he needs to find out a "armer" can bring it ... even an old one.

@FiReFTW ... Firefly only plays with girls, time he plays a guy. It will not go well for him .... he will want to hit his improved strokes, but he will never see a ball in the strike zone. Picture it ... Firefly running and lunging ... sad ... just sad.

@StringSnapper ... I would hate to do it, but I would mention his lack of racquet drop and girl throwing motion in the serve warm up. That is, unless we are playing at his courts with the water surrounding it ... in which case I will constantly interrupt play to ask him "is that a pirate boat"?

@S&V-not_dead_yet ... got to agree with NYTA here .... we gotta find out if S&V lives or not, and if he can cover a bh dtl passing shot. If he can, and S&V lives, there will be no trash talking, only props for keeping the art alive.

@IowaGuy ... I would challenge his missile bh slice with my touch bh slice ... we will not video. 8-B

@tlm ... we will not have a running or endurance contest, probably come up with some kind of skill challenge where the ball can't go more than 2ft over the net. We will play when it's not that hot.

@KluddKalle ... another Velocity brother, can't think of one bad thing to say about him... that is not like me. Hum?

@atp2015 ... this one is obvious ... non-stop bh slice ... run around all FHs to hit bh slice ... and NEVER hit a cc shot, all DTL.

@Raul_SJ ... fun hit for me with BBP all up in his head with strategic "f*ck with his head" comments. Probably comment early that I think he has been throwing the racquet in the field all wrong.

@Hmgraphite1 ... somebody has to check brother HM's strokes ... I will do it.

@movdqa ... would be great, but not winter where he lives. :eek:

@2good4U .... gotta find out if the anti-vaxxer, pro peni$ foreskin provocateur is in fact 2good4BBP.

@Znak ... dude strings with quality music ... you just have to hit with him to see if he brings that rhythm to the court. If required, I play loud music that he hates.

Many others ... will add to the list.
