"Engineering" a victory

Well Titan eked out a couple of sets against George "Engineer" Pratt at the Lake Tarpon Sail and Tennis Club this date (8-6, 7-5). TT did nothing to distinguish himself in the contests. It was a match between two crippled ne'er-do-wells with the winner sure to be the last man standing. Titan, now known better as 'MLM' (Man of Little Movement) certainly lived up to his moniker. TennisTitan got to so few balls today that even he would be denied entry into the most liberal homosexual bathhouse in San Francisco! (Cute huh)? 'Engineer' was up 6-5 in the first set and 5-3 in the nightcap only to have his bum right shoulder fail him in the clutch. It was the one-armed man vs. the one-legged man! Titan knows all about being unable to close out games/sets this trip with CC Flash dominating at BCK and snatching a few near victories from TT. But special kudos are due to the 'Engineer' for his persistence on the court, tolerance of TT's bombastic behavior, and willingness to accept a rare opportunity to play singles with little notice. Georgie, thanks so much for giving me a jolt of undeserved confidence and getting my tennis juices flowing during my time without electric power.
