Tennis Warehouse-Mid Atlantic Chapter

[hollywood9826]

OK AQ.

Both LSU and Bama will win and Oklahoma is gonna blast Texas so maybe Oklahoma steals the #2 spot but I doubt it.

The only thing that can derail LSU is all the Les Miles NFL coach talk.

I dont know much about country music but everytime you go to a Kareoke bar somebody sings friends in low places by Garth Brooks. So it must be pretty popular.

 

[Xisbum]

Don't listen to much "modern" country music, unless it's real outlaw stuff like David Allen Coe, Steve Earle and Scott Biram. Like Hank Williams III, but can't stand Hank Jr. Big fraud living off his old man.
My country tastes also run to bluegrass and the classics - Marty Robbins, Hank Sr., Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Patsy Cline, etc. Guess I'm too old for you, Angle Queen.

And those Virginia highway mounties aren't a patch on Frank Bullitt's pullover. ;-)

That was a beatdown from the Sooners. Lotta points on that board against another top team. They'll make a good case to push 'Bama aside if they don't do the same to Vandy.

Garth Brooks. Bah! I do have two or three of his CDs but he's not one of my favorites by even a stretch of the imagination...and Friends, while a good party/drinking song (but Longneck Bottle is better)...ain't much to write home about. Nah, the one and only song of his that really speaks to my heart is Belleau Woods (but he didn't write it).

Not too old at all, my friend. And I would've pegged you for hittin' me up. And I'm definitely with you on these selections of real country singers. Junior is a joke; I own nothing of his. But the Complete Collection of Hank is a treasured collection. I mean, c'mon Jr, if you're gonna be a Bad ***, at least do it with David Allan Coe's flare. Now them's some drinkin' (and f-n) songs.

And, finally, I'll give a big nod to a real Queen of Country, Ms. Cline. Never had the pleasure to see her live as she passed just before my time. A true Virginia Legend. One of the last things I took my mother to before she died was a Cline Tribute show and we both had a blast.

My musical history is literally all over the map. Both of my parents were children of the Depression, one here, one in WWII Germany. The Radio was everything to them and they both loved music. Dad still loves the Big Band Sound and the musicals of the 50s and 60s. My girls can sing Do-Re-Mi forwards and backwards so the brainwashing continued on to yet another generation. My mother was in love with Elvis and so I heard it over and over and over. Still like it, even as kitsch as it is. Jailhouse Rock will forever be one of my Rock'n'Roll standards.

But...I went to a, ah, minority high school and my friends' music influenced me mightily. I went to see Prince live...when he was the warm-up act for Morris Day and The Time. Skinny, slightly twisted little piece of S...but talented as all get-out.

Then, after college, I learned that White Guys...would dance to Country (especially if they'd had enough beer or bourbon). I acquired the taste to three of those four: dancing white guys (married one), Country music (it fills the CD cabinet) and bourbon (love the brown stuff a bit too much at times). Beer, despite my German heritage, you can keep.

And those Virginia highway mounties aren't a patch on Frank Bullitt's pullover. ;-)

Nah, but they can still run down my family car...and give me a ticket.

Sorry, I know I asked to move on to other subjects...but as you can tell, I love music too. We can move on again. Or talk some more about it.

^^^Go for it!

I'm off to hit some tennis balls in the nice weather and continue slacking on my reading. I did, however, pass my injection skills test yesterday. TWMAC, you've been warned!!!

Muwhahahaaa!!!

Glad I'm out of range, but I'm sure the guys will all step up to volunteer for needle practice.

That was a beatdown from the Sooners. Lotta points on that board against another top team. They'll make a good case to push 'Bama aside if they don't do the same to Vandy.

P.S. Could say the same about Steve McQueen, but he was the original lone range rider. His Thomas Crown Affair is 10 times better than Pierce Brosnan's version.

New topic - which had the coolest cast, the original Ocean's Eleven or the latest version with Brad Pitt, et al? I contend that any group with Dean Martin in it is automatically the coolest bunch on the planet. Watching it now, in fact, and listening to Deano sing Kick in the Head. Marvelous.

P.S. Would also put Steve McQueen in the mix, but he was the original lone range rider. Wouldn't be caught dead in a group like Danny Ocean's bunch. His Thomas Crown Affair is still 10 times better than the wimpy Pierce Brosnan version.

Major *sigh* -- that's a tough one as I actually like the newer version, seen it many times. Original...only once, and some time ago. For shame. I'll have to go track it down. But the "Original Rat Pack" -- was truly legendary...both on- and off-screen. And I'd forgotten Peter Lawford and Angie Dickinson (the original Hot Babe) were in that one (before looking it up, hey, I'm honest). I can only imagine what the sets of that filming were like.

I'll chime back in after re-watching that original. One of the few instances where the remake might, just might, have been as good as the original (certainly given the times and scenarios).

Agreed here (even though I am/was a huge Brosnan fan....loved, loved, loved Remington Steele and thought all along he could/should have been the Next Bond). McQueen was The McMan. Wonder if I could change my nic to McAngleQueen. 'Cept I'm a gurl (sic).

And don't forget Warren Beaty's big sis, Shirley MacLaine, in a bit role. Some kind of sizzling sets, indeed. I hear she was the one woman the Pack let hang around all the time. I can't get over how quaint LV looks in the original O11; quite a change from the glitter palace it is now.

I'll vote yea on McAngleQueen; go for it.

Hmm...I don't right off recall Ms MacLean/Beatty in that one...and imdb has her in an uncredited role as a "tipsy girl." I was ROTFLMAO at that one. I can certainly see her hangin' with The Pack. She certainly had the credentials (although I seem to recall her and her baby bro weren't all that close earlier in their lives).

I also recall watching some sort of documentary about Vegas and how much it had changed over the years vis-a-vis The Mob and the engineers (and their ability to provide water). Had the occasion to go just once on a business trip; stayed at the Bellagio. Grande place, indeed...but hated the whole LV scene. I'm not much of a gambler although I won several hundred dollars at the tables that night (at the insistence of my boss who fronted us the $50 to start).

Awww, Dats. I'm guidy with relief that someone here Got It. But must say, of that group, only Brooks and Yoakum have more than one CD in the collection.

My kids (and hubs) gave me a bit of grief about my collective replies here. "Why are you stringing them along? Why not just tell 'em!!!" That's my no-nonsense Better Half.

So, in the interest of full disclosure, here is a list of the artists that I own four or more CDs (hope the database dump works!):

Non-Country
Adams, Bryan
Bolton, Michael
Bon Jovi
Braxton, Toni
Carey, Mariah
Collins, Phil (&/or Genesis)
Denver, John
Dion, Celine
Estafan, Gloria
Hornsby, Bruce
Jacksons, Michael &/or Janet
Joel, Billy
Madonna
Prince
Presley, Elvis
Springfield, Rick
Van Halen

Country
Adkins, Trace
Black, Clint
Brooks & Dunn
Chesney, Kenny
Daniels, Charlie
Dixie Chicks (politics aside)
Gill, Vince
Jackson, Alan
Keith, Toby (politics aside)
McGraw, Tim
Montgomery, John Michael
Paisley, Brad
Stuart, Marty
Tippin, Aaron
Tritt, Travis
Williams, Hank (not Jr or 3)
Yearwood, Trisha
Yoakum, Dwight

Classical
Ormandy, Eugene (Conductor)

And, of course, you could probably name any "musical" from 1950 to about 1985 and I've got the Soundtrack. Just the other day, when there literally was nothing else on our FiOS TV that I'd otherwise let our girls watch...they got hooked on "Music Man". I'd forgotten Shirley Jones was in the lead role and that Ron Howard was one of the "kids." My eldest has already asked if I "have the music."

Having a drink at the bar with benito santiago? how does he rank amongst baseball pitchers?

Ahhh...now on to the other passion of mine (mostly before kids, though....I had season tickets to our AAA Richmond-Braves for 20 years). But, ah, , wasn't Santiago a catcher? A very decent one, in fact? Who else of the Diamond shall we discuss? Did you really have a drink with him? That would've been cool. I think catchers are the real "players" on the field. And they always have the best stories to tell.

 

[sapient007]

so i picked up a gopro HD.. looking forward to making some vids..

i wish i can do this..

Quieter than Shcmad but drinks like PP. He seemed like a nice guy, but best to speak in spanish. He looked to be in good shape still.

Actually truth be told, we barely discussed his baseball life. Lot of other bar talk.

I'm no big baseball fan, but the bartenders did discuss that baseball players tip better than basketball players and a lot better than football players.

No Tippin Scotty Pippin !!!

We also see a lot of Rodman.

 

[hollywood9826]

And I was gonna say Sound of Music soundtrack five days ago, and left you out of all your fun.

Anyway, Benito Santiago.

Not the greatest of hitters, but which catchers are.

Won the 87 NL rookie of the year.

Wore number 09 becuase just plain 9 was hidden by the straps of the chest protector.

Won a gold glove despite committing more errors and having more passed passed balls than any catcher that year.

But the thing with bentio was that he threw out baserunners from his knees. nd he was laso boys with Barry Bonds which makes him OK in my book.

Yeah, I mean, hello. My kids can do-re-mi. That was a primo clue. But you're right; you would have deprived me of some fun.

Always impressive to see. In his prime, Pudge could do it too. But my favorite plays from a catcher are on a called 3rd strike...then have 'em gunsling down to first to catch a baserunner leaning the wrong way.

Despite this long passion for The Game, I really haven't watched much of it over the past few years. After many tortured years as an Os fan (then Rip retired and I lost all hope)...and the A-Braves yanked the team out of town (although we knew it was coming)...kinda just turned me off. The days of a true franchise player, like Ripken, Puckett or Gwynn, are long over -- thank you free agency -- and it gets harder and harder to figure out who/which team to root for. Actually, I'm happiest with a local American Legion or HS ballgame. Except they use those damned metal bats. Yuck.

 

[hollywood9826]

The game is different now. Its about players and not teams for the most part.

If you had a Braves farm team you got to see some talent.

We got the Ironbirds here in Aberdeen and seems its more about Ripken than it is the team. I went to game once when my buddy gave me tickets. My 98 summer team could have beat those bumbs. Short season A ball is a joke.

I'm not gonna go on my Ripken rant, but as soon as the O's went with Ripken and traded Eddie Murray they never recovered. Ripken was not a franchise guy, he needed to be the sidekick.

But they are investing more in young talent more than in the past. Tampa bay is showing it can be done. And if those O's get half as good as the rays Camden Yards will be packed once again.

 

[Angle Queen]

If you had a Braves farm team you got to see some talent.

Indeed. Mostly, we've had a boatload of pitching talent, although that didn't necessarily translate into any smarts in the brain category. We've also had some truly weirdos on the mound: John Rocker and Turk Wendell come to mind. Then we had both Jones boys: Chipper and Andruw, even if the latter was only here for a few games and the former, decidedly unspectacular in his three stints here. We also had a real glory year or two when we had Glavine, Smoltz (as a starter) and a guy named Marty Clary in the rotation. I loved Marty's games. They were over in 2:10mins or less. He was truly one of the no-nonense guys, with a decent command of the strike zone...and because of it, he'd often entice batters into swinging early in the count...mostly into easy flyball outs...or inning-killing double-play balls.

But I go way back...even to the Dale Murphy and Brett Butler days. Technically, I suppose, I even saw Dusty Baker and Ralph "Go-Go" Garr...only because my dad (and mother, too) were big baseball fans and they'd often go for a "cheap" date (even after they married and had a small child).

The best thing, though, about AAA ball...even if your team sucked...they had to play the other teams in the League. I'll never, ever forget the day when Darryl Strawberry came to town on one of his many "rehab" assignments. He went 3-for-4 that day. Three home runs (to dead frickin' center)...and a mere double that bounced off the wall. He was huge and a true specimen to behold. My seats were directly over the third base (visitors) dugout and it was just downright impressive to see him even in the on-deck circle. He made it look so effortless. If only he could've kept from putting that powder up his nose....

And, because my seats were over by the visitors, I saw and heard so much. It was often more entertaining than the game itself (and mind you, I'm a real Fan of The Game). Those stories...are for another day.

And, no, I'm no Annie. Never once hooked up with a player, home or away. Had much more fun giving them a hard time about the ones they did hook up with.

We got the Ironbirds here in Aberdeen and seems its more about Ripken than it is the team. I went to game once when my buddy gave me tickets. My 98 summer team could have beat those bumbs. Short season A ball is a joke.

I'm not gonna go on my Ripken rant, but as soon as the O's went with Ripken and traded Eddie Murray they never recovered. Ripken was not a franchise guy, he needed to be the sidekick.

Guess I use the word "franchise" in a different way. None of the three I mentioned could really "carry" their teams to victory (witness their collective general lack of World Series rings) but they were truly marketable and kept the fans coming back. I'm sure it stinks, though, when that's/they're all you hear about.

But they are investing more in young talent more than in the past. Tampa bay is showing it can be done. And if those O's get half as good as the rays Camden Yards will be packed once again.

That's a good thing. I think, as with most things, the pendulum will swing back to having to develop your own (rather than having the coffers to buy it on the open market). And that's the other thing a lot of folks here in Richmond never fully grasped. We were the training/proving grounds for the parent club. They'd grumble about tight pitch count limits and making lumbering lugs still run the bases (mostly to teach them they needed to work on their speed/timing).

Oh well...sorry to bend everyone ears/eyes this morning.

[downs_chris]

that was the (very) bad rex chicago fans talk about...

 

[Angle Queen]

Ok, guys (and Topaz), I'm lost in all the inuendo and pics.

Really winding down the season here. USTA is over, Club Challenge is over. Just the Ladies who Lunch...and there's only two weeks left of that. Can't decide who to ask/play our in-house Mixed Tournament with. It's crazy: 6.0, 7.5, Open...and 120(age)-Combo. While I'm OLD, I ain't that old. Realistically, I probably need to play the 7.5 with a good 4.0M. Too bad it's not a Member-Guest. Downs? Would you have been down with that? Nothin' like takin' a Nationals player to the Club.

Seriously, though, I'm not sure what to do. I know a few 4.0Ms...but not that many...and most of them...are married to fellow 3.5Ws.

Guess I'll be sitting out the last real tourney of the year. Oh well.

Plenty of football, Oktoberfest and Halloween things to do. Will try to upload some pics when they roll around.

Did I mention our family pulled in three ribbons from the VA state fair? Good haul for us.

 

[mikeler]

I'll be up there in 2 days. Thinking of driving around to some of the wineries this weekend. Any good ones up in Northern Virginia that I should stop by?

 

[tennismonkey]

aren't you in richmond AQ? or are you even further into the wilds of South Virginia?

 

[tennismonkey]

so sappy's got a friend who's far better off than the vast majority of us working fools. looking to buy a car with a ceiling of $80k. he's young, single, no kids. so the car must be a panty droppa. what's your choice?

Audi RS5? New M3? 93 civic hatch?

bahaha...nope...i just downgraded my ride! although i kind of this this scion (yes scion) looks nice...if / when it comes out...

Several:

Nissan GT-R
Porshe Cayman R
BMW M3 Coupe
Cadillac CTS-V
Audi A5

BTW- took some lessons on hitting the two-handed backhand Sunday. The switch to the 2-hander is on! But the problem is, I'll effectively be a 4.0 with a 3.0 backhand for a while.... as opposed to a 4.0 with a 3.5 one-handed backhand. It's a work in progress.

 

[JRstriker12]

bahaha...nope...i just downgraded my ride! although i kind of this this scion (yes scion) looks nice...if / when it comes out...

A Toyota with a Subaru engine. I wonder what the Subaru version will look like. Still the Scion has a sweet look to it.

[Angle Queen]

i've actually never done mixed...do the ladies get hit?

Mixed can be a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it when it was an .0s kind of thing rather than Combo (.5s). I find the gender mismatches all the more prominent in Combo.

But as for getting hit, it happens...but kinda rare actually. It's usually the guys who tee-off on each other, mostly in fun (esp if they know each other).

aren't you in richmond AQ? or are you even further into the wilds of South Virginia?

Yep. In Richmond (on the northern side). Anything South of The James, requires a passport and shots.

 

[The_Question]

This car is in the making for almost 4 years. It was dubbed as FT-86, tribute to the old AE-86. The motor was at first said to be 2.0L N/A Subaru boxer for 220 crank hp. Recently it's down to 190-200 @ crank. Body design by Toyota division in California. It looks great, but lacks punch as always w/Toyota (Supra TT & MR2 T are exceptions). They really need to throw in a turbo to compete w/its peers.

 

[Sup2Dresq]

Xisbum,

I am starting to get Lotto fever again!

Is it bright enough for your tennis attire?

Xisbum,

I am starting to get Lotto fever again!

Is it bright enough for your tennis attire?

Only problem w/ Lotto are the shorts are too darn short.... or I'd be rocking that green top. And I'm better that green is not bright enough for Xis, it needs to be day-glow.

so sappy's got a friend who's far better off than the vast majority of us working fools. looking to buy a car with a ceiling of $80k. he's young, single, no kids. so the car must be a panty droppa. what's your choice?

If you just want to be cool and drive something new. Then I would probably get a Lotus Exige. But they are small so maybe a larger vehicle would be preferred.


Then the Hyundai Equos is the way to go. They got a fridge in the back when just one skizzank aint enough. The broads will be all over him and asking him to that chumpy.

when they go to touch his car he can say.

"Get your filty $hithooks off my ride or take your shirt off and let me see them janks."

If you drive an Equos that prefectly acceptable and she will more than likely just take her top off.

I'm sure Zapvor has some shorts you can borrow. They will be plenty long enough.

Green in any shade always works for me; turns my bland blue eyes green as glass. Loverly, simply Loverly.

so you guys are recommending a 200hp scion, a hyundai limousine, and a wookie in tight shorts. i don't think these are the droids we're looking for.

so tennis related. last night i hit over 1000 one handed topspin backhands. i varied the ball machine to feed me topspin, underspin, slow, fast, high and low. and after the first hundred or so, it all made sense to me. epiphany of sorts.

so how much does anyone wanna bet that when i go out and hit tonight it will be as if i never hit 1000 backhands last night?

Bound to better than my two-hander. LOL! Did okay on fed balls sunday but it's not match play ready, though I did hit a nice DTL winner of my buddy's lefty slice serve.

Hmm..... Ball machine. Have to see if I can rent one at FRC.
