wooo, we're probably the biggest spammers on tw.

oh, i'll probably be about an hour late to the meet on saturday. i was just asked to sub for some guys this saturday. it ends at 12pm so i'll head straight there after i'm finished. probably get there around 1 depending on where the location is.

PPL: thursday.. 330-4ish. it's on. everyone (tfm, jrs and myself) is ready. the games is mixed dubs and you have to wear a skirt b/c
1. they don't make thongs big enough for the wookie to sport one
2. tfm will be wearing one on my team

sup: you should swing by as well if you get a chance. the game will be quite entertaining

prestigeprolover · Apr 7, 2009

^^ hahahahahahaah! sappy its sooo on.

i think tfm might enjoy wearing the skirt.

sapient007 · Apr 7, 2009

Tfm,

Im not trusting you after that last craigs list tennis fiasco you set up.

sapient007 · Apr 7, 2009

nice to see sup come out of the woods.. any side bets on your racquet bet with TFM? how can one jump on this action?

Kind of hard responding from a cell.

I do detect some anxiety in Tfm's post regarding our bet. Again, I'll give him this one last chance to release himself from this bet.

Sounds like you "guys" will be doin' enough swinging without Sup's help. :shock:

How's the hand, dude? Is it green yet?

Is Rota the place or not? Hope so, for your and your wife's sake. Wonderful place, once you get away from the bars. You wouldn't find those appealing, would you?

The hand is still jacked up, but not green. I had to give a brief on North Korea this morning and my left hand looked like "the Mummy". Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy.

Not sure if it's gonna be Rota or San Dog. Both have surf and nice weather, but San Dog has a huge kendo community... I'm not sure if there is kendo in Spain.

Red clay courts would be nice though...

i completely forgot about the craigslist guy. quick story without going into specifics. there was a guy on craigslist who said he was 5.0+ and looking for hitting partners. i'm nowhere close to 5.0 but i figured Sup is. i hooked these two guys up. apparantly they emailed back and forth but Sup's spidey sense kept going off about how this guy doesn't sound like he's a legit 5.0 player. they meet up anyway. long story short - the guy's no 5.0. i don't think he was even 3.0 although he apparantly was the nicest guy you could wanna meet. i was never quite sure WHY he decided he was a 5.0 and looking for others to hit with. i think he was just lonely. sad but true.

oh and no anxiety with my new sticks. i like em. i've not hit with any other sticks since buying these. i could happily play with these for a long time and they play like the other yonex's i've had in the past. i hope you aren't cheating and hitting with anything else Sup. there's no reason for you to be hitting with anything else - even during clinics. i hope you're loving em. there's no way i'm losing this bet. that is all. :twisted:

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.

11 courts sounds like a good spot...

Wow, got a long way to go if I want to be #1. Sort of like Djokvic to the TWMAC's Nadal and Fed.

sapient007 · Apr 7, 2009

so you are calling sup nadal while topaz fed?? doesn't this infer that you = murray, me = djoka and tfm = serena williams?

sapient007 · Apr 7, 2009

hwood = venus obviously b/c he'd dominate WTA with his hard rolling ways in the service box

I see you more as Justin Gimelstob, podner. On your good days, maybe Mardy Fish, but mostly Justin Gimelstob.

sapient007 · Apr 7, 2009

you must be mistaken gandalf, i have 505 posts under my name and you've only manged to net 159.. so that doesn't just make my magic stronger than yours but also a superior tennis player by TW forum rules.. i'm thinking murray or djoka here..

k. tx for playing.

I couldnt domiante WTA. But if I grew up playing as much tennis as BBall and going to camps and stuff tghen Most def I could. Women just cant hang with dudes in sports. Especially basketball, swimming, Bowling, Baseball, golf (women suck at Putting), darts, Lawn darts, Bocce Ball, ringtoss, cornhole, midget toss, hot dog eating, weightlifting, wife carrying, and Auto Racing (we all know women are crappy drivers).

hollywood9826 · Apr 7, 2009

What will be the fun in somebody who grew up playing tennis thier whole beating somebody who has played for god knows how long. Of course she can beat me. Whats does that accomplish.

Its like Billie Jean vs Scotty Riggs. What good was a 23 year old top player in her prime beating a washed up 55 yr old man. The part the media doent tell you about that story is that riggs blasted court when he played her. Court was 30 at the time and lost to a 55 yr old bum.

ShcMad · Apr 7, 2009

I don't know who Gina is but from what I hear, Dats had a thing for her.

dude, you'd better hope that "the black widow" isn't turning her sights to tennis; she could prolly beat you, and then eat you:

Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas (born Lee Sun-kyung (이선경) in 1967 is a top-ranked Korean-born American competitive eater from Alexandria, Virginia.

The 98-pound Thomas is the number four competitive eater in the United States, and ranked fifth in the world , with 29 world titles.[1] Her nickname "The Black Widow" refers to her ability to regularly defeat men four to five times her size.[1] While the size of her stomach is only slightly larger than normal, her skinny build is perhaps her biggest advantage, allowing her stomach to expand more readily since it is not surrounded by the ring of fat common in other heavy eaters.[2] She holds records in over 25 eating competitions,[3] and in December 2008, she defeated top-ranked eater Takeru Kobayashi in a fruit-cake eating contest.

Her most famous result is 37 hot dogs in 12 minutes (July 4, 2005 at Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest), setting a then-record for American competitors (which was also the female record). On August 8, 2005, she consumed 35 bratwursts in 10 minutes

alice301 · Apr 7, 2009

oh, and a propos of nothing really, why is it that the "shoes & apparel" thread is populated mostly by guys? i need a safe place to vent about my swarovski-bejeweled (no kidding) team uniform!

hollywood9826 · Apr 7, 2009

Sonya Thomas works at the burger King on Anderws AFB. I walked in there one day and noticed here there. Shes the manager there and I must say that is by far the niceest Burger King I have ever been in. Its clean, the workers Sonya hired are all very curteuous. And the burgers dont look all smashed up when you get them. But in Hot Dog eating theres only about 20 people that do that and the best she ever finished was third or fourth. So once again the best woman was proven inferior to the best guy. Thats all I'm saying.

But I will Sonya credit she may well be the GBKMOAT (Greatest Burger King Manager of all times)

omfg. and you can just imagine what our team name is, can't you?

i've never worn tail before, and they need a new, heretofore undiscovered language to describe their sizing. the small dress fit me like a bathing suit; the medium dress fit like a tent, and the small shirt was too wide AND too short (i'm 5' 1" when i start out my day, so i can't imagine who this would fit).

i understand the concept of "taking one for the team," but i...just...can't...wear..."frosted rose".....

datsveryinterestin · Apr 7, 2009

yo JRS, glad i am playing with you.
correct me if i'm wrong but it
looks like 11:30am for #3 and #4 doubles....?????
cool man. i guess i can use this doubles league to
practice my serve.

Vitaly Evchenkov · Apr 7, 2009

alice, plz post photos of you in these different outfits so TWMAC can help you pick sizes and outfit pieces. maybe try them on w/ high heels too.

I thought you were talking about the other black widow: Jeannette Lee. I wish I was as good at pool as her.

I have one Tail skirt (the 'flounce' skirt) and it seems to run true to size...but I've looked at the dresses, and they do look like they run quite large. I was actually thinking of wearing it Saturday, but I think I may be wearing sweats instead!

Please, please....*please*...tell me your team name isn't 'the frosted roses'?!?

Oh, and Datsveryinterestin and Vitaly are the same person...just in case you get confused!

Two of my teams just do colors (and lucky for me, the *same* colors - red/white/black), and then the third (my DC team) was actually sponsored and we had team shirts, but I'm not sure that we're going to do that this year...and even with the shirts we were just white and black. A friend of mine is on a team using the Nike green stuff that came out not too long ago, and it looks really nice.

And ACTA team match consists of one court of women's doubles, one court of men's doubles, and two courts of mixed doubles. Just fyi. Can't help you with time...though usually the men and women go first, and the mixed people show up when they 'think' the match may end, but sometimes end up waiting a bit. At least, that's how it went last fall...so some things could be different now. I would guess your men's and women's dubs go at 10am, and the mixed courts are at 11:30am.
