Cincinnati - the real Slam

[Povl Carstensen]

Judging from the amount of rain they've had the last two days, I'd say God isn't too happy with the Big 3's absence this year

The big One

Thanks. BTW, my local stringer was out stringing for the Cincy tournament. How about you stringy?

Please sikh help. I have told you several times fairly recently I am retired from the stringing biz. Your memory loss is causing me to be concerned for you. Try some Neuriva!

What kind of bump is this?
Please announce it beforehand.

Thread of all threads bumpity time! @sureshs , is there a guy with elegant strokes you intend to “jinx” into winning the title?

To this day, this thread remains the Greatest of the Great Poobah's Greatest Great Poobah Threads.

Threads so precious & valuable in the coarse of human history, they may as well have been woven from Silk, the Spray, inimitable Shovel Forehands, and Butthurt Tears.

All hail, my fellow Libra Septendecimist!

Life got a little busy, and then apparently there was some kind of global pestilence going on!

Watching SerenaGOAT play her very last match tonight got me a bit wistful & missing this fine Aerie.

So I thought I'd be a good egg & come out of my shell .

How are things with you?

I’ve managed through the walrus waltz as well as can be expected. We here in Orlando are finally seeing our cousins from across the pond return but in smaller numbers and the business visitors for conventions are much slower to return in big numbers. On the TTW front, the good eggs disappear in droves or they devolve into a mere caricature of their formal selves. The devolution of JoelDali is particularly gruesome, giving up on The Eagle after the UniQlo defection. Now he chooses to repeat himself incessantly in the Sureshs thread. Terribly sad.

It feels exactly like a song I first heard 50 years ago:

Reviving this GOAT Thread, authored by none other that the GOATiest of GOAT poasters Sureshs

 

[Power Player]

[Bartelby]

And now all the visitors have gone again!

Another reason why 2009 was such an epic year.
