Yet another word game

[ojo rojo]

Word is that the original thugs were in India.
Thuggees, a Sanskrit word meaning concealment, were an organized gang of professional assassins – sometimes described as the world's first mafia – who operated from the 13th to the 19th centuries in India. Members of the fanatical religious group, who were infamous for their ritualistic assassinations carried out in the name of the Hindu Goddess Kali, were known as Thugs, a word that passed into common English during the British occupation of India.

I'm more toe rag than thug

Films and television are often the most funny when animated. I met "Beavis and Butt-Head" creator Mike Judge by chance soon before MTV picked-up his show. He was very funny and enjoyed doing voices.

Voices look a litte scary and yet familiar

Dandy Don Meredith was the losing QB for the Dallas Cowboys in the Ice Bowl NFL Championship Game vs the Green Bay Packers on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. After he retired, Dandy Don became one of the voices for Monday Night Football. When a game reached a certain one-sidedness he would begin to sing a country tune, "Turn Out The Lights, The Party's Over."

Over a cup of tea and scones, we reminisced about last year's Wimbledon.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Wimbledon queues tend to be much more civil than Roland Garros lines.

Lines and shadows was a novel by Joseph Wambaugh that highlighted the issues at the San Diego-Tijuana border.

Borders with Canada include Niagara Falls, New York.

York is a walled city in Northern England and the traditional county seat of Yorkshire.

Yorkshire Pudding is something I've heard of since childhood, but have no clue what it is.

Is Pie Town, New Mexico still the home of the Daily Pie Cafe?

Caffe Trieste in the North Beach must be a place @Mike Bulgakov frequents?

Love means nothing at all to tennis players.

Players of Spain are many.

 

[stringertom]

Many do not realize "I've Never Been To Spain" and "Joy To The World" were both written by Hoyt Axton and his mom co-wrote Elvis' first hit "Heartbreak Hotel." Hoyt also wrote "The Pusher," which was not an homage to certain pros on the current ATP Tour.

 

[Vcore89]

Tour de France is one of the most challenging [physically and nutritionally] and gruelling endurance event.

 

[stringertom]

An event such as a Nadalovic final on a slow HC in the wee small hours of the night/morning was a grueling endurance event for me to watch in January 2012.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

2012 was a very good year for me before the not so great ones, but now I'm back on track.

Track cyclist Chris Hoy won two golds in front of his home country crowds at the 2012 London Olympics.

Trying to make a bad joke about rugby.

 

[ojo rojo]

Rugby is a market town in Warwickshire, England, close to the River Avon.
The town is credited with being the birthplace of rugby football due to William Webb Ellis picking a football up during a match at Rugby School.
Rugby is also the birthplace of the jet engine where in April 1937 Frank Whittle built the world's first prototype jet engine.

Engines for watercraft may use open-loop cooling, but air and surface vehicles, according to Wikipedia, must recirculate a fixed volume of liquid.

 

[Vcore89]

Liquidmetal Prestige mid [G3, with a mote of sticker that reads Made In Austria] was one of my favourite Head racquet.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Racquets from thrift stores can often turn out to be quite useful.

Seasons sometimes call for certain seasonings, like cinnamon on delicious sweet potatoes.

Potatoes are often eaten with turnips and haggis.

Haggis is not familiar to me so I had to look it up and found out it's a rather complicated pudding associated with Scotland.

 

[stringertom]

Scotland's favorite dessert is the deep fried Mars bar. Snicker snicker.

 

[ojo rojo]

Snickers sounds a bit like what Muricans call tennis shoes. I love the word "plimsolls"

A plimsoll shoe, plimsoll, plimsole or pumps(British English) is a type of athletic shoe with a canvas upper and rubber sole developed as beachwear in the 1830s by the Liverpool Rubber Company.

The name derived, according to Nicholette Jones's book The Plimsoll Sensation, because the coloured horizontal band joining the upper to the sole resembled the Plimsoll line on a ship's hull, or because, just like the Plimsoll line on a ship, if water got above the line of the rubber sole, the wearer would get wet.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Snicker if you will, but I like salted liquorice.

 

[ojo rojo]

Too much liquorice can be injurious

Injurious is an apt term for the ATP top five in recent years.

Years (or so it seems) until we have tennis in our lives.

Lives would be in danger if spectators stand in the wrong place when SexiSuri launches his world record speed serve.

Surely a singular first serve should be called a serf? eg. hooves/hoof?

Main Entry: serf
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: slave
Synonyms: bondservant, bondsman/woman, chattel, laborer, peon, servant, vassal, villain, villein, beneficiary, bondman, dependent, esne, helot, liege, liegeman, peasant, subject, subordinate, tenant, thrall, varlet, flunky, gofer, helper, inferior, junior, poor relation, scrub, second, second fiddle, second string, subaltern, third string, underling

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Underlings are what snobs call people supposedly "beneath" them, but folks with real class never do that.
