Haha, no I wasn't wearing the scuba suit. I was dressed to play tennis though. Sunday, actually sucked for me.

I went to Dick's to buy a case of tennis balls and the wife came with me. She ends up getting $300 worth of running clothes and I get a case of tennis balls. :confused:

Then I go down to my courts so I can work on my new kick serve and there are about 20 people all hanging around and playing tennis/eating... wtf?!?! So I realize I'm not getting on the court anytime soon so I go to the gym all angry. Then while I'm lifting (dumbell press) I almost drop the damn weight on my face! :mad:

So then I go home and help the wife with dinner and that's when the avocado incident happens. :cry:

How much was the case of balls?

Okay guys,

There is a rumor of mutiny if PP and Shcmad don't get a chance to get to the meet. As if PP won't get lead poisoning again.

When: April 11th (Saturday) 12-4
Where: TBD
What: Tennis, food and round robin

WHO CAN MAKE IT.?

Vote now. Otherwise.. we will go with April 18th.. at TFM's house .. make sure to eat a lot of meat and clog his toilet. lol.. j/k

That is all.

Food list:

Not sure about a BBQ set up yet, so assume you can make something and bring it. So something to keep it warm or warming trays would be ideal. Just like last time.

How can you take one of the two guys bringing beer off the list????:shock:

Two days ago, meteorologists said it was gonna be partly cloudy on the day of the meet. Now they're saying 50% chance of rain. This is total bull.

WTOP's forecast has not changed...still says 30% chance of showers and temps in the low 60s. The showers are coming in Friday night (WTOP says showers just overnight, and perhaps lingering into the morning)...so since we are not starting until noon, we should be okay, but may have to do some court drying before we play.

That's my take anyway. Not panicking just yet, but I think indoor time will be very, very tough to get for such a large group and for such a long period of time.

I was worried, I may not be able to make the BBQ because I just got a call to cater for 65 people Saturday. But I am delivering the goods at 11 and should be free afterwards (crossing fingers).

BTW got two more Gamma's in the mail today. It feels SOOOOOO good to have a collection of the same frame again, and more importantly have a collection of the same frame that I feel I am going to stick with! I have gone through hell trying to find a frame I love. Shockingly the last time I owned three of the same racquet was none other than: the Yonex MP Tour 1 98 :shock:. Hope my journey doesn't foreshadow the next couple years of your tennis life, TFM.

There is a bit of confusion due to the posts regarding who is bringing what. So if you see something that you can bring, please post or repost.

Darn it, and I just sent one, lol.

Alright then, I got beer. Any kind you guys do not want? Would a 24 pack work?

I also have one folding chair.

And everybody is at least 21 right? Don't want to serve to minors...

speak for yourself topeezy. i'm on page 500. :)

it all depends on the number of threads you have set to view at once on a page.

i suspect much like the millenium bug or Y2K scare it will all work out just fine and the world won't end as we know it. then again it could also crash the forums and we'll all have to get back to work. that would suck. hope TW ran the security update for conficker too.

Oh, that's right...forgot you could have a different view set-up. Still, we're approaching 10,000 posts! I like JRS's idea...free gear! :)

TW, are you listening???

On a different note (lalalala), one of my favorite auction site sellers has blocked me from bidding on their items!!! Hunh. Never, ever had a bad transaction with her, and I've sent an email to see what is up. Her loss, really, as I was all set and ready to buy some red Nike shorts that she had up.

maybe her crack business got busted

Oh, she's still selling, just not to me for some reason!

Hmm, wonder if I did 'buy it now'...but still, why deny someone who you haven't had a problem with? 'Cause now, *I'm* started to have a problem with *her*!!! *cracking knuckles*

What's up with you Sappy? Why we no see you no more?

No, I sent a normal message board PM, it went through, so I don't know. And last night I heard Saturday's weather is suppose to be partly cloudy @ 57...well, at least that's Baltimore's weather.

wkds of this month is bad..

anyhow, are you on for the tfm dora challenge? talked to tfm 5mins ago he has already started to shadow swing in his office

I accepted ages ago...just waiting for TFM to show up.

*eyebrow*

With which racquet is he shadow swinging with?

i can't do the dora the explorer vs k90 challenge until sup gives up. he's already let everyone know he HATES his new prince racquets. i've already been out and had witnesses and i LIKE my new sticks. don't love em but i LIKE em. i think my like of my yonex's is greater than sup's DISLOVE of his prince racquets with the paint that's falling off for no reason.

give up sup. you move on. there are better sticks out there for you. you know it. i know it. the american people know it. are you really going to play with the prince racquet this weekend? i'll be fine with my yonex. i spent more than a couple months mooching all sorts of racquets off of people. you think i can't play with my new sticks for a couple of months or more likely LONGER? this is me we're talking about. i'm stubborn and not very bright. i'm also cheap. i'll play with my new sticks til the end of time until you pay up. you better start falling in LIKE with your princes. oh and buy some more modeling paint.

what's for lunchies?

i'm wondering how we gonna do this with 20+ people. most likely doubles but how is Sup gonna pair everyone up? does he match up NTRP ratings to form the most even pairings possible? will he pair up Sapient and Zapvor again to form the PF Changs of Tennis?

Schmad/PP = Team Blacksburg or Little Hokey/Big Hokey

Schmad/PPL = Chip & Dale, The Rabid Chipmunks

Alice/Auzzie = Alice in Down Under Land

want to meet at baker park in frederick? there are 11 (!) courts and ample seating & parking!

i know it's a looong drive up 270 for most of you, but you could pretend that you're going out of town for the weekend.

Weren't you just teasing dvi about not going :shock:

Haha, I know... that's what I get. I just tease DVI cause he's bailed on:

Dogfish (at least twice)
My party
Mini-MAC meets (at least twice)
The last MAC meet (at my place)

Seriously, when I saw the email saying "Don't forget about the meeting this Saturday.." I yelled out loud WTF?!?! Scared the **** outta my dogs. The meeting should be over by 1:30pm though, so maybe I can still come back and catch the tail end of the BBQ.

This would've been the second MAC meet where I don't play due to injury. Technically the third, if you count that I actually hurt myself during the one we had out in Reston last spring.
