but i might actually go to bonchon now. hrmmmmmmmmm
call me if you got my digits or send me a mail.
ah hell, i dunno.
i guess i just start drinkin.
l8r homies!

p.s. - i have a rash from poison ivy on my tennis playing hand. it is making a LOT of things uncomfortable!!!

:shock::twisted:

datsveryinterestin · Jul 22, 2010

looks like i'm going to the Lost Dog on Columbia Pike in Arlington.
i should be there for a few hours.
i expect to see you ALL there!

if not, we can actually try to plan on something soon.
hopefully i can get me some TXT for my birthday. this
is ridiculous. droid me!

Topaz · Jul 22, 2010

Ahh, wish I could Dats, but I'm about to head onto court then I have a verrrry exciting paper to write. It has to do with the body system you will most likely be abusing tonight! Have fun and for goodness sake even the pay as you go phones have text these days!

Wish I knew earlier...... I have a match that I can't get out of.

BTW- Up for a hit out in Reston sometime next week? Maybe Tues?

I just remembered *smacks forehead* - sometimes Mrs. Wookie has to work late on Tuesdays - I might not be able to get to the courts until 8pm.

I'll double check.

JRstriker12 · Jul 23, 2010

Auzzie - you have a text.

My opponent wimped out on me due to the heat.... ugh...

Xisbum · Jul 23, 2010

Big shout out to Lady Topaz and her friends B and C for braving the heat and traffic this a.m. for some good tennis and fun exchanges. Made my day - an old guy surrounded by young and attractive women.

Have to do it again sometime. Next time, you shoudl stick around for lunch. I owe you a glass of Sangria, remember?

No problem X...B and I are both teachers and play regularly together over the summer. She and I just played singles yesterday, then I played last night, and I think I just didn't have much in the tank this morning...at least we made you guys work hard for the first set!

Can I charge interest on the sangria?!?

In other news...Topaz is being signed by Prince.

Which stick?

Sup2Dresq · Jul 23, 2010

I may not look as old as gandalf...but my tree rings are up there. That said, my 'feel old moment' just happened. My three eternal bachelor friends all got married and are xpecting.

Surely 2012 is spot on.

What next...Ppl gets hitched, Sappy runs a marathon, Auzzie sticks to one racquet, Dats goes uninjured, Tfm has another kid, Shcmad becomes a gigolo, Jrs denounces Serena, Jrk says no to a poured martini, Shintan sings soprano, Alice acquires 'eye of the tiger', Xisbum wears jcrew religously, Zapvor settles down with a proper girl and keeps hotdog/shampoo fetish, Paulman doesn't spoil tennis scores, TheQuestion buys a SmartCar, Hollywood works for WNBA without a lawsuit or paternity test request, Drakulie stops cursing and smoking, and Sup gives up on Nike to become Nando stunt double?

When did I get voted off the island?

Sup2Dresq · Jul 23, 2010

Topaz,

Jrs, voted you off for a waffle breakfast and an old bikini pic of serena williams.

sapient007 · Jul 23, 2010

hey i'm running a marathon,

who's up for tomorrow morning? it'll be hot so lets wrap up before noon if possible.

Sappy runs???

Tfm has another kid,

TFM knows how to make a kid???

Xisbum wears jcrew religously,

X don't do anything religiously; I do it secularly.

Well, maybe...

BTW, while quieting finishing off the cooler of Old Dominion from last weekend, just saw the sexiest thing watching a cable show called Covert Affairs, a woman driving a stick shift, REALLY driving a stick shift, in 6-inch heels. Wow.

Sup2Dresq · Jul 23, 2010

Sappy,

Text or post...where, when and how many beers.

sapient007 · Jul 23, 2010

that'd be just wasting your time hitting with me.. get tfm or a bunch of other folks out then i'm game.. otherwise i'll pass out on my couch withbeer in hand

Auzzie sticks to one racquet,

Is this what you are supposed to do??

btw, Yonex frames and POGOS's are on the bay currently and Cobalts are not gonna cut it. BUT, I hit with something that felt like my Donnay!!!!! Stay tuned

. You may be on to something, Sup.

for the price of those new donnays, I could probably buy a couple 3-4/10 condition originals (which might actually be more worth it). But no, there is another frame on the market that has the feel I am looking for. Not going to jinx it though.

TheQuestion buys a SmartCar

That's...that's terrifying...if that day comes, I may have to put on some pink polo, pink bandana, pink wristband, pink shoes, and dig my butt every chance I get... :-?

Really? Just port holes and no string holes, yes?

As a DC/VA/MD tennis player with some IT background - I decided to start my own Tennis Deals blog/website (www.Tennis-Bargains.com).

It's free and open for comments/feedback. Basically I'm trying to promote Tennis as a sport anyone can afford to play if they know where to find it. You don't need to belong to a country club to learn or become good. I have coupons and deals for things like Legg Mason and WTT tickets to Rackets and Tennis balls in the DC area.

Eventually I'll put in how to save $ by doing your own stringing, buying value 2nd gen rackets, basically anything to help max out your game at a limited budget.

Let me know if you think there's other deals or topics or events I should post up. I've had this site up for just under 2 weeks now, running it for $0, and putting pretty much any free time that I'm not on-court or working into making this better.

(hope page 1700 is a lucky #?)

Thanks!

Not too bad.

BTW- the URL for your tennis blog in your signature is missing a dash....

Groupon has discount tix for legg mason quarters and semi ...

The_Question · Jul 24, 2010

Anybody played today?

Got onto the courts around 10am - noon, it wasn't that bad...

Maybe it was cooler where you were, but was dying just standing around eating BBQ.

Got in the car around 2pm and the thermostat said 101 degrees!!!

auzzieizm · Jul 24, 2010

it was brutal outside today. one of the guys on my team had to get taken to the ER in an ambulance from cramping on the court.

JRstriker12 · Jul 25, 2010

Hope yall are checking out the German open on tennis chan. This Golubev cat isn't too bad. Plus he rocks the 1HBH.

hit this morning from 9am to 11am...when you're in the shade, with a cold drink and a slight breeze...it's not too bad...

Sounds like that guy needed some of this (for whole body cramping):

Did a USTA meetup 9am-noon, wasn't too bad - but was it was only doubles. Mon/Tues should bring some relief...but I don't remember a DC summer this hot in a long time (global warming?) :|

Yeah, this 100 degree streak + thundershowers the every evening is putting a damper on my tennis. Looks like more rain possible monday/tues.... ugh

WTF??? All the packages of white Big Ace I ordered are textured like Blue Gear - even though they are in a Big Ace labeled package????

Somebody messed up for sure. Was it from the depot of tennis place or?

alice301 · Jul 26, 2010

went to see "i am love" last night. sexiest cinematic use of shrimp & homegrown zucchini i've ever seen. x, being a fan of cate blanchett, would probably like it...tilda swinton is actually conventionally pretty in this movie. i left the movie smiling and starving, but mr. wonderland was horrified. something about the wife suddenly declaring, "i'm in love the chef" at their son's funeral put him off, i think.

PaulMan said:

It was the depot.

But I'm cool now. They are shipping 3 sets of Big Ace to me and I'm returning the 2 remaining sets I have. I asked for red to make sure they didn't mix it up this time.

PaulMan · Jul 26, 2010

JRS, I had thought you liked the red Big Ace on your Prestige Pros anyway?

FYI, if you don't care for the middling points from the depot, getting 3 sets or less from TrappTennis on the bay is cheaper shipping and they are really quick and responsive on your orders. Never had any problems with them. Highly recommended if you need a couple of small things/sets of strings.

I wanted to do one red and one white so I could tell them apart easier.

I do like the red though...

I'll try Trapp next time.

So thats a new take on the Ackbar thing.

PaulMan · Jul 27, 2010

JRS & TFM, many thanks for letting me join you guys for the hitting last night! I had a lot of fun and wore myself out during that 2 vs 1 drill and serving out that bucket of balls to JRS.

Late night hitting, though, takes a toll on me as I can't get myself settled down to get a restful sleep. Mo' coffee plz... lol

*YAWN!!!!*

*Slup coffee*

I hear you. It took a while before I could fall asleep.

No prob Paulman - we were glad to have you out. I like the 2 vs 1 drills - a lot of running and plenty of balls to hit. We should try to get some dubs running soon...

BTW- you have to teach me that top-spin lob. You had that thing working!
