shaniqua inserts? heck no dood.
djoker and murray have mastered defensive tennis so much that it's nearly impossible to win points. the only possibility is to lose points with errors.
the first two sets was mesmerizing but not especially riveting.

they should bring a USTA 3.0 scrub to mix things up a little. i can promise 30 mins of pure entertainment where djoker chases down my awesome lops into the stand.

That match would have been alot better if it was best of three. Really stopped being interesting after you knew Murray would be gases for the last two sets.

I was watching with my dad. He hates Murray and Djok. But hates murray worse. Once Djok won that 2d set I told him it was over and murray was done.
Then he started holding his hamstring as an excuse.
For the record my dad really likes Nadal and says he has the best "forearm" of all the guys he has watched. And by Forearm he means forehand, not the actual size of his forearm.

Haha... I can't tell you how many people I've met through work, or the military, or whatever... that have told me they play a lot of tennis and that their "forearm" is really good.

but tennis is one of those sports that many many people say they play when shooting the shiz at the water fountain. but the truth is very very few of those people are even 3.0 tennis players.

True... I did have a guy tell me he was really good at "spiking" the ball. I'm not sure if he meant serving or hitting an overhead.

dude, how old is your youngest? i thought they're supposed to be 6months at the youngest? i don't think i could leave my 4month at that daycare... maybe ill bring the monitor and set it up there.. ha! or maybe an electronic gps anklet so i can track her location.
but i have been trying to go to the gym and that would make it easier...
i am still hovering near crappy NFL qb height/weight (and im not quite at the same body fat level as these guys!)
Dalton, Andy 6'2" 220 lbs
Gradkowski, Bruce 6'1" 220 lbs
and not Sampras/Rafter/Nadal 6'1 190lbs
gotta keep hittin that treadmill and trying to play basketball with the eclectic collection of Sudanese and Yemeni (ok, i have no idea where they are from... but thats my guess) high school dudes that run back and forth on the court without a clue on how to set a pick or play defense. but last time i played, i had 0 pts (0for4 shooting), 8 rebounds, 1 block. the block was pretty epic though! but I am obviously too fat and old to play basketball now too. (sigh)
almost got a bite on selling the IG Speed but nobody bumped my thread.. sniff.. cmon.. i wanna try the BLX pro tour! sounds like my game.. PRO ***** TOUR pal!

I didn't know Djoke was your size.
In high school, sports agents who tried to make you look better for coaches added an inch to your height. I recall one saying its your size with shoes. Wonder if djoke, fed or nadal heights are fudged that way.
Maybe they pull a jrs and measured themselves on a decline with a midget photographer.

what's life if you can't have a hardy laugh at yourself? if you keep it a secret and it donesn't work it out = lose lose. if you don't keep it a secret and it doesn't work out = win, lose, if you don't keep it a secret and it works out = win win.
it's very american to always win win.. in fact it is anti american to willingly choose lose lose.. be american.. win win.. ask yourself what would the eagle do..

The Eagle would soar above all looking for prey (In Zaps case a chic) andponce all over it (in zaps case he would also pounce all over it).
But thats a pretty serious tony robbins speach there man.

no zap. the eagle would update all his eagle buddies as to the happenings of his potential target.... and swoop down to scoop up the prey. when reached critical height (usually 100 ft). it'd then turn to the prey and ask if a date is in the stars. if not, the eagle would smash the prey on the nearest rocky cliff while throwing a middle talon to all his buddies.

I could have kept the dating a ***** (cant say 1esbo anymore) thing to myslef. But then I would feel worse about it. Instead I talk about it and people bust my chops and it makes feel me feel better.
So If ask this chic she says yes. You can let us know. And we can say stuff like "Good job man, just hide the case of head and shuolders and 5lb of bar-s hotdogs"
And if she rejects you we help ease the pain and say stuff like.
"She found the stash didnt she"
Or we can just call her very degrading names that ryme with *****($kank) and hoe. Actually we will probably just call her a ***** ($kank) and a hoe, and say you deserved better anyway.
And we will say these things even if we dont mean it.
So think about that before you go not telling anyone.

Whats she gonna read. A bunch of stuff about hotdogs, Shampoo, various food things, eagles soaring, lesbians, baseball, basketball, and other random stuff.
We dont even know this girl.
If I knew her I would go ahead and hook up with her myself becasue you are taking so damn long to do anything.
I was staioned witht his guy in Hawaii, lets call him Dave. He was only like 19, but developed a crush on this phillipino girl that worked in taco bell. She always wore these black tights that were tight enough to see she had the old school 1950s style panties on. So we started calling her GP for granny panties. This dude would say all the time how he wanted to ask her out. But he never would.
This other dude we worked with lets call him steve got divorced and pretty much started hooking up with any chic that he could. It had been about 3 months of Dave saying he was gonna hook it up so Steve finally said "If dont ask her out or get her number before we leave here today, im gonna hook up with her"
So Dave finally manned up asked her out and hooked it up. I told him him to get her some new draws, but he broke up with her after like a month.
Moral of the story, hook it up with racket chic before somebody else does.
If she says no we we will here for your support.

wookie, want to sneak out to union market for lunch?
Hi all!
I am new to the area and just wanted to pop in and say hi and see if any of you have advice for how to get involved with USTA and find a team in the area (DC, NoVa, MoCo). I know some teams in HoCo, but that's too far of a drive for me to do regularly. Are there any clubs in the area where lots of the USTA players practice or hit around where you'd recommend I go and try to meet people to play with?

If you're looking for USTA teams in NoVA, check with Ingrid Clark at Homecourt Tennis - http://www.homecourttennis.com/
She's the NoVA coordinator and put you in touch with captains looking for players.
There are a few clubs that run teams. I know RJ Tennis (http://rjtennis.com/) at 4 seasons runs a few teams. Try doing a few drop in clinics and you could also contact Rob at RJ Tennis and see if he's looking for players.
I don't play in DC or MoCo - so can't help you there.
